Unusual Presentation of Coronary Artery Fistula in Capillary Malformation Arteriovenous Malformation 2 Syndrome: A Case Report.

Capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation syndrome (CM-AVM) is a germline vascular dysplasia that is typically characterized by cutaneous capillary malformations and central nervous system arteriovenous malformations (AVM). We report an atypical presentation of CM-AVM2 featuring a giant coronary fistula. A 22-day-old male exhibited a cardiac murmur, leading to the discovery of a large fistula from the left circumflex coronary artery.

Perinatal Outcomes and Management of Umbilical Vein Varix: A Comprehensive Review of 392 Cases.

Case reports and case series have linked umbilical vein varices (UVVs) with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Newer case reports and series suggest better perinatal outcomes in cases with an isolated UVV. The purpose of this literature review is to determine if there is commonality in management, outcomes, and association in pregnancy with UVV and fetal aneuploidy, growth restriction, demise, thrombosis, and turbulent flow.

Cost Analysis of Intravascular Ultrasound Guidance for Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Creation.

Purpose: To compare costs of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation versus non-IVUS-guided TIPS creation, accounting for differences in procedure time and resource utilization.

Materials And Methods: This single-institution retrospective study estimated procedure time and resource utilization from 157 consecutive elective TIPS creation procedures, of which 91 were IVUS-guided and 66 were non-IVUS-guided. Differences in procedure costs were derived using time-driven activity-based costing.

Supporting Authors for Whom English Is an Additional Language to Promote Diversity Inclusion and Equity in Nursing Scholarship.

Fellows in the 2024 joint JOGNN and NWH editorial fellowship address the challenges faced by authors for whom English is an additional language and offer practical recommendations for those authors and reviewers.

Global risk of dengue outbreaks and the impact of El Niño events.

Background: Dengue fever is an arboviral disease caused by the dengue virus (DENV). Its geographical distribution and health burden have been steadily increasing through tropical and subtropical climates in recent decades.

Methods: We developed a temperature- and precipitation-dependent mechanistic model for the global risk of dengue fever outbreaks using the basic reproduction number (R) as the metric of disease transmission risk.
