DOWNSLOPING HIGH-FREQUENCY HEARING LOSS DUE TO INNER EAR TRICELLULAR TIGHT JUNCTION DISRUPTION BY A NOVEL ILDR1 MUTATION IN THE IG-LIKE DOMAIN.

Downsloping high-frequency hearing loss due to inner ear tricellular tight junction disruption by a novel ILDR1 mutation in the Ig-like domain.

The immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain containing receptor 1 (ILDR1) gene encodes angulin-2/ILDR1, a recently discovered tight junction protein, which forms tricellular tight junction (tTJ) structures with tricellulin and lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) at tricellular contacts (TCs) in the inner ear.Previously reported recessive mutati

Broken Heart Syndrome: Is The Heart Really Broken?

Stress induced cardiomyopathy, which is also known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, is a cardiac syndrome of a transient, reversible left ventricular dysfunction that is caused by emotional and/or physical stress.Its clinical manifestations are similar to those here of myocardial ischemia without a coronary artery lesion.Stress-induced cardiomyopathy i
