The presence of cancer increases arterial thromboembolic events, specifically myocardial infarction and stroke, before a formal diagnosis of cancer. To the best of our knowledge, this increase in thrombotic risk has not been studied in patients with lower extremity bypass grafts. In the present study, we aimed to determine the effect of occult canc...

Persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare congenital anatomic variant of the lower limb vascular system with highly variable presentations. The management of lower limb ischemia due to PSA disease is not specifically recommended in guidelines, and surgical by-pass is usually the most described treatment. We reported a case of a 46-year-old patient ...

• Acute limb ischemia caused by sudden graft occlusion is a very rare event. • Thromboembolism is the most frequent cause for early acute limb ischemia after AAA. • Graft limbs kinking could explain acute thrombosis of the graft.

Curcumin (CUR) has a long history of use as an antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and wound healing agent, for the treatment of various skin conditions. Encapsulation in nanocarriers may overcome the administration limitations of CUR, such as lipophilicity and photodegradation. Lipid nanocarriers with different matrix fluidity (Solid Lipid Nanopartic...

Objective of this case report is to draw attention to a less known thrombotic complication associated with COVID-19, i.e., thrombosis of both radial arteries, with possible (long-term) consequences. In our COVID-19 ICU a 49-year-old male patient was admitted, with past medical history of obesity, smoking and diabetes, but no reported atheroscleroti...

Background: Recently two new tubeless pumps for insulin therapy were introduced. They were tested for accuracy and occlusion detection and compared with the established patch pump Omnipod® (OP). Methods: Using a modified setup for tubeless pumps based on IEC 60601-2-24, the basal rate and bolus delivery of the Accu-Chek® Solo micropump system (ACS)...

The ability to monitor oxygen delivery in microvasculature plays a vital role in measuring the viability of skin tissue and the probability of recovery. Using currently available clinical imaging tools, it is difficult to observe non-invasive hemodynamic regulation in the peripheral vessels. Here we propose the use of a novel multispectral raster-s...
Atherosclerosis remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, with revascularization remaining a cornerstone of management. Conventional revascularization modalities remain challenged by target vessel reocclusion-an event driven by mechanical, thrombotic, and proliferative processes. Despite considerable advancements, restenosis remains the f...

Surgical experience in pineal surgery is largely confined to a few experienced surgeons and may be lost when they stop their practice. The objective of this study is to systematically preserve and analyze valuable practical knowledge of pineal region surgical venous anatomy. A survey was constructed to obtain experienced surgeons' perception of est...

BACKGROUND Most intrahepatic arterioportal fistulae (IAPF) are acquired. The few cases of congenital fistulae are diagnosed in infants and children. CASE SUMMARY We report a 31-year-old female patient presenting with haematemesis and melena three weeks after delivering her second child. The patient had a 20-year history of abdominal distention and ...
