Introduction: Breast pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication following breast interventional procedures such as core biopsies and vacuum-assisted biopsies. The occurrence of pseudoaneurysm increases with the conditions of increased breast vascularity like cancer, pregnancy and lactation.
Case Report: We present two cases of pseudoaneurysm formation secondary to core biopsies of the breasts.
Article Synopsis
- Adenotonsillectomies are common surgeries to treat obstructive sleep-disordered breathing in children, but managing postoperative pain presents challenges due to the risks of opioids.
- A study conducted in Egypt involved 90 children undergoing elective tonsillectomy, comparing traditional opioid anesthesia with an opioid-free approach using a pterygopalatine ganglion block.
- Results showed that while pain levels were similar in both groups, the opioid-free method led to fewer issues with nausea, vomiting, and hypoxia, indicating it may be a safer alternative for managing postoperative pain.
Background: Febrile seizures are the most common type of convulsions affecting children aged six months to five years. However, febrile seizures can be difficult to identify due to the vague nature of the symptoms, which can lead to incorrect diagnosis and treatment. Thus, this study explores febrile seizure-related uncertainty, knowledge, and anxiety among mothers.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe production of ϒ(2S) and ϒ(3S) mesons in lead-lead (Pb-Pb) and proton-proton (pp) collisions is studied in their dimuon decay channel using the CMS detector at the LHC. The ϒ(3S) meson is observed for the first time in Pb-Pb collisions, with a significance above 5 standard deviations. The ratios of yields measured in Pb-Pb and pp collisions are reported for both the ϒ(2S) and ϒ(3S) mesons, as functions of transverse momentum and Pb-Pb collision centrality.
