Direct comparison of Neuroform and Enterprise stents in the treatment of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms.

Aim: To compare the complications and outcomes of Neuroform and Enterprise stents in the treatment of unruptured wide-necked aneurysms.

Materials And Methods: Under the auspices of the institutional review board, a review of a prospectively collected patient log identified 130 patients who underwent elective stent-assisted coil embolization of a wide-necked aneurysm, including 53 patients treated with an Enterprise stent and 77 patients treated with a Neuroform stent. Immediate and long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes were recorded for all patients.

First Report of Rust Caused by Pucciniastrum boehmeriae on Māmaki (Pipturus albidus) in Hawaii.

Pipturus albidus (Hook. & Arn.) A.

Geographic distribution suggests that Solenopsis invicta is the host of predilection for Solenopsis invicta virus 1.

Solenopsis invicta virus 1 (SINV-1) was found regularly and prevalently in S. invicta. In sampled locations where S.

Single-queen introductions characterize regional and local invasions by the facultatively clonal little fire ant Wasmannia auropunctata.

Clonal reproduction may facilitate the spread of invasive species by reducing the minimum population size necessary for successful establishment. We used microsatellite markers to reconstruct the composition of founding populations in two regional (Central Africa and Hawaii) and 23 local (near a Gabonese oilfield) invasions of the facultatively parthenogenetic little fire ant. Central Africa had a single dominant queen clone, which appears to have initiated the regional infestation, and then produced numerous other clones by rare sexual reproduction.

Unusual presentation of aortic pseudoaneurysm: middle lobe pneumonia.

Pseudoaneurysms of the aorta are rare. We report an unusual presentation of an ascending thoracic pseudoaneurysm found with atypical presenting symptoms.

Resection of left ventricular tumor using videocardioscopy and echocardiography.

Assessment of large cardiac tumors requires careful definition of the extent, cell type, and degree of invasiveness to determine the best operative management. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography were helpful, but limited in the assessment and management in the case of a 19-year-old pregnant woman with a large (9 x 5.5-cm) left ventricular mass.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung: an unusual metastasis to pectoralis muscle.

A 44-year-old man with clinical T2 N0 M0 squamous cell carcinoma of the lung presented 4 weeks after left pneumonectomy with a single metastasis to his right pectoralis major muscle. Three years after excision and chemotherapy he remains in remission. Muscle metastasis of carcinoma is an infrequent occurrence.

Repair of aortic transection associated with ductal diverticular aneurysm.

A 14-year-old girl involved in a motor vehicle accident sustained an acute traumatic aortic transection at the site of a congenital ductal diverticular aneurysm. Aortic transection is a lethal injury that is uncommon in children. A ductal diverticular aneurysm is a rare congenital lesion, formed when the ductus arteriosus fails to close with aneurysmal formation at the aortic isthmus.

Legionella pericarditis diagnosed by direct fluorescent antibody staining.

Legionella pericarditis is a rare and serious manifestation of Legionnaire's disease. A case is presented in which the diagnosis was established by direct fluorescent antibody staining on a pericardial tissue specimen. Video-assisted thoracoscopy was used safely and effectively in diagnosis and management in this case.

The ascending laparoscope. Modern thoracoscopy.

Developments in laparoscopic endoscopy have increased the interest in thoracoscopy. New techniques and instruments, particularly video endoscopy, have greatly expanded the indications for laparoscopic procedures. These innovations and techniques are being applied and modified for thoracic application.

Thoracoscopic lung biopsy.

Progress in instrumentation and techniques developed for laparoscopic surgery have paved the way for a resurgent interest in thoracoscopic procedures. Traditional thoracoscopy was limited by access, restricted visualization, and surgical devices. Recent cases provided an opportunity to successfully perform thoracoscopic pulmonary wedge excisions using state-of-the-art technology and instruments adapted from laparoscopy.

Blunt traumatic rupture of pulmonary vein, left atrium, and bronchus.

A 22-year-old man fell 12.2 m (40 ft), injuring the right lower lobe bronchus, right inferior pulmonary vein, and left atrium. These injuries were not associated with fractures, cardiac tamponade, or pneumothorax.
