Background
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes not only infantile recurrent wheezing but also the development of asthma. To investigate whether palivizumab, an anti‐RSV monoclonal antibody, prophylaxis given to preterm infants during the first RSV season reduces the incidence of subsequent recurrent wheezing and/or development of asthma, at 10 years of age.
Methods
We conducted an observational...
The link between the structural properties and the rupturing of chordae tendineae in the mitral valve complex is still unclear. Synchrotron‐radiation‐based X‐ray phase computed tomography (SR‐XPCT) imaging is an innovative way to quantitatively analyze three‐dimensional morphology. XPCT has been employed in this study to evaluate the chordae tendineae from patients with mitral regurgitation and to...
