Congenital diaphragmatic hernia ( CDH) is a birth defect of the diaphragm. The most common type of CDH is a Bochdalek hernia; other types include Morgagni hernia, diaphragm eventration and central tendon defects of the diaphragm. Malformation of the diaphragm allows the abdominal organs to push into the chest cavity, hindering proper lung ...
A congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is due to the abnormal development of the diaphragm while the fetus is forming. A defect in the diaphragm of the fetus allows one or more of their abdominal ...
Bochdalek hernia is one of two forms of a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, the other form being Morgagni hernia. A Bochdalek hernia is a congenital abnormality in which an opening exists in the infant's diaphragm, allowing normally intra-abdominal organs (particularly the stomach and intestines) to enter into the thoracic cavity.
T-cadherin, also known as cadherin 13, H-cadherin (heart), and CDH13, is a unique member of the cadherin superfamily of proteins because it lacks the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains common to all other cadherins and is instead anchored to the cell's plasma membrane by the GPI anchor. Unlike classical cadherins, which are necessary for ...
Cadherin-1 or Epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin), (not to be confused with the APC/C activator protein CDH1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH1 gene. [5] Mutations are correlated with gastric, breast, colorectal, thyroid, and ovarian cancers. CDH1 has also been designated as CD324 ( cluster of differentiation 324).
Cadherin-2 is a transmembrane protein expressed in multiple tissues and functions to mediate cell–cell adhesion. In cardiac muscle, Cadherin-2 is an integral component in adherens junctions residing at intercalated discs, which function to mechanically and electrically couple adjacent cardiomyocytes. Alterations in expression and integrity of ...
The computational Diffie–Hellman (CDH) assumption is a computational hardness assumption about the Diffie–Hellman problem. [1] The CDH assumption involves the problem of computing the discrete logarithm in cyclic groups. The CDH problem illustrates the attack of an eavesdropper in the Diffie–Hellman key exchange [2] protocol to obtain the ...
Some treatments are controversial and are still being tested for effectiveness. Suggested treatments for chronic headaches include medication, physical therapy, acupuncture, relaxation training, and biofeedback. In addition, dietary alteration and behavioral therapy or psychological therapy are other possible treatments for chronic headaches.
