Article Synopsis
- * A study of 99 patients with aneurysmal SAH in Recife, Brazil, found that 85.9% had low serum vitamin D levels despite high sun exposure, especially among individuals with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin type IV and V).
- * Findings suggest a relationship between low vitamin D levels and various factors such as diet, skin melanin, and possible genetic traits, raising questions about vitamin D's role in vascular health despite generally high sunlight exposure in the tropical setting
Management of a ruptured posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysm with end-to-end in situ bypass: Case report.

June 2024
Dissecting posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysms are uncommon lesions. Their anatomy and the location of the dissection are variable, however, they usually occurs at the origin of the PICA. Dissecting PICA aneurysms generally have non-vascular morphology involving an entire segment of the artery and cannot be cut.

The purpose of this case series is to report the authors' results with hand restoration function by nerve transfer in patients with lower brachial plexus injury.
Methods: Three consecutive nerve transfers were performed in a series of 11 patients to restore hand function after injury to the lower brachial plexus: brachialis motor branch to anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) and supinator branch to the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) in a first surgical procedure, and AIN to pronator quadratus branch of ulnar nerve between 4 and 6 months later.
Limited dorsal myeloschisis with a contiguous stalk to human tail-like cutaneous appendage, associated with a lipoma of conus medullaris: A case report.
Int J Surg Case Rep
May 2020
Introduction: Limited dorsal myeloschisis (LDM) is a recently described pathological entity, characterized by a defect of the closed focal neural tube and a fibroneural pedicle connecting the cutaneous lesion to the spinal cord.
Presentation Of The Case: This case describes a 9-month-old child with a human tail and an underlying spinal dysraphism. This was represented by LDM stalk associated with a medullary lipoma, in connection with the dorsal cutaneous appendage.
