Pharmaceutical industry PHILADELPHIA, April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As patients with congenital heart diseases live longer, researchers are attempting to understand some of the other complications they may face as they age. In a new study, a team from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) used state-of-the-art technologies to understand the underlying biology of Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD).
Key Points:
- In a new study, a team from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) used state-of-the-art technologies to understand the underlying biology of Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD).
- The Fontan operation is the current standard of care for single-ventricle congenital heart disease.
- As more patients undergo the Fontan surgery for single-ventricle congenital heart disease, FALD has become a more recognized problem.
- Little information exists on FALD, yet it is distinct from other forms of liver disease, which is why researchers at CHOP wanted to understand the basic biology that could lead to better treatment options and improve these patients' quality of life.

Dietary supplement PHILADELPHIA, March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In the first clinical trial of a targeted pharmacologic therapeutic for mild traumatic brain injury in pediatric patients, scientists from the Minds Matter Concussion Frontier Program at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have found preliminary evidence that adolescents and young adults with concussion who take a specific formulation of branched chain amino acid (BCAA) supplements after injury experience faster symptom reduction and return to physical activity. The findings were published online by the Journal of Neurotrauma.
Key Points:
- The mainstay of treatment remains symptom management with temporary modification of cognitive and physical activity and over the counter medication.
- Although active rehabilitation strategies have shown promise for improving recovery time, including aerobic, vestibular, and vision interventions, these can be time and labor intensive.
- To date, no targeted pharmacologic intervention to improve clinical outcomes in concussion has been evaluated in humans.
- However, prior to this study, no human studies involving adolescents and young adults have assessed the potential benefits of this formulation of BCAAs as a specific treatment to aid in concussion recovery.
