    Am J Cardiol. 2005 Jan 1;95(1):150-2. Effects of aerobic exercise training in children after the Fontan operation. Opocher F, Varnier M, Sanders SP, Tosoni A, Zaccaria M, Stellin G, Milanesi O. Source Department of Pediatrics, Medical and Surgical Sciences, University of Padova, School of Medicine, Padova, Italy. Abstract It was demonstrated that patients who have undergone the Fontan operation can safely undertake exercise training and that this results in an improvement in aerobic capacity. These findings suggest that aerobic training could be useful in the long-term management of these patients to optimize their cardiovascular fitness for more active lives.

    J Paediatr Child Health. 2009 Jul-Aug;45(7-8):419-24. Epub 2009 Jul 20. Do Kawasaki disease patients without coronary artery abnormalities need a long-term follow-up? A myocardial single-photon emission computed tomography pilot study. Zanon G, Zucchetta P, Varnier M, Vittadello F, Milanesi O, Zulian F. Source Rheumatology Unit, Department of Paediatrics, University of Padua, 35128 Padua, Italy. Abstract OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency and risk factors for long-term myocardial perfusion scintigraphy abnormalities in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD). METHODS: A cohort of patients with KD at least 3 years after disease onset and with persistent coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) (group 1) or without CAA (group 2) underwent stress-rest myocardial single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Clinical and laboratory parameters at disease onset were considered to assess their predictive value for the development of myocardial perfusion abnormalities. RESULTS: Forty patients, 20 in group 1 and 20 in group 2, entered the study. The two groups turned out to be comparable for demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics. Five patients (12.5%), two in group 1 and three in group 2, had abnormal myocardial perfusion assessed by SPECT. Neither the presence of CAA nor the overall cardiac involvement at the disease onset significantly increased the risk for these abnormalities. CONCLUSION: Cardiac SPECT abnormalities are not unusual in KD and can be found in patients with or without CAA. If confirmed in a larger cohort of patients, these preliminary data indicate that careful long-term cardiac follow-up should be considered, regardless of the presence of CAA.

    An important requirement for the development of a vaccine against the hu immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1)1, the causative agent of AIDS2, is a readily available animal model that would allow possible immunogens to be evalua The only species to have been infected with HIV-1 so far is the chimpanzee However, the scarcity of this animal and its designation as an endangered species8 place severe restrictions on its use as an animal model. Attempts to infect mice, rats, hamsters, guinea-pigs, musk shrews, and rabbits with HIV or infected cells have all been unsuccessful9. We now report that the intraperitoneal inoculation of rabbits with HIV-1 or chronically infected H cells consistently induces a persistent infection
