The actual shape of the 4th ventricular choroid plexus and the relationships between its development and the normal vs abnormal development of the vermis is still to be defined. This editorial illustrates in detail what is thought to be the normal developmental process of the 4th ventricle, its choroid plexus, and the anterior and posterior membranous areas. Then, it addresses the findings that high-resolution ultrasound is able to demonstrate in the normal and abnormal development of the above mentioned anatomical structures. Finally, it focuses on the key role that the 4th ventricular choroid plexus seems to play in this development, as becoming evident in recent researches on the topic.

Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) typically requires repair, but re-interventions and vascular complications occur, particularly with associated defects like bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may identify anatomic and hemodynamic factors contributing to clinical complications. To investigate 4D flow MRI characteristics in pediatric CoA to determine parameters for long-term clinical surveillance. Retrospective. CoA (n=21), CoA with BAV (n=24), BAV alone (n=29), and healthy control (n=25). A 1.5 T, 3D CE IR FLASH MRA, 4D flow MRI using 3D time resolved PC-MRI with velocity encoding. Thoracic aorta diameters were measured from 3D CE-MRA. Peak systolic velocities and wall shear stress were calculated and flow patterns were visualized throughout the thoracic aorta using 4D flow. Repair characteristics, re-interventions, and need for anti-hypertensive medications were recorded. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA with post hoc t-testing and Bonferroni correction, Kruskal-Wallis H, ig-term, prospective studies are warranted to correlate patient and MRI factors with clinical outcomes. 3 TECHNICAL EFFICACY Stage 3. 3 TECHNICAL EFFICACY Stage 3.Inhaled corticosteroid is not associated with a poor prognosis in COVID-19. The first aim of this study was to assess the association between stage 3 PGD and pre-donation blood transfusion of the donor. The secondary objectives were to assess the epidemiology of donor transfusion and the outcome of LT recipients according to donor transfusion status and massive donor transfusion status. This was an observational, prospective, single-center study. The results are expressed as absolute numbers, percentages, medians, and interquartile ranges. Statistical analyses were performed using Chi squared, Fischer's exact tests, and Mann-Whitney U tests (P<.05 was considered significant). A multivariate analysis was performed. Between January 2016 and February 2019, 147 patients were included in the analysis. PGD was observed in 79 (54%) patients, 45 (31%) of whom had stage 3 PGD. Pre-donation blood transfusion was administered in 48 (33%) donors (median of 3[1-9] packed red cells (PRCs)). On multivariate analysis, stage 3 PGD was significantly associated with donor blood transfusion (OR 2.69, IC (1.14-6.38), P=.024). Mortality at days 28 and 90 was not significantly different according to the pre-donation transfusion status of the donor. Pre-donation blood transfusion is associated with stage 3 PGD occurrence after LT. Transfusion data of the donor should be included in donor lung assessment.

Adult males commonly produce frontalin using precursors synthesized through the mevalonate pathway, which is regulated by juvenile hormone III (JHIII). In this study, the expression levels of mevalonate pathway
