Endovascular repair of true profunda femoris artery aneurysm using covered stent.

Profunda femoris artery aneurysms are extremely rare, and strongly associated with multiple synchronous or asynchronous aneurysms. In the literature, 2 types of the profunda femoris artery aneurysms were described. Pseudoaneurysms of the profunda femoris artery are mostly iatrogenic through fractures, catheterization, orthopedic injury, blunt trauma, or penetrating trauma.

Investigating the 2023 MOGAD Criteria in Children and Adults With MOG-Antibody Positivity Within and Outside Attacks.

Background And Objectives: The 2023 criteria for myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) perform well in adults but have not been assessed in children.

Methods: This prospective observational nationwide study includes children and adults with demyelinating syndromes or encephalitis, whose serum or CSF was found MOG-immunoglobulin G (IgG) positive at Institut d'Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer-Hospital Clínic of Barcelona (Spain). Exclusion criteria were lack of clinical information and follow-up <1 year, and serum unavailable for antibody testing.

Building and Maintaining a Whole Community Initiative: Health Communication in Practice with Be Well Communities™.

The most effective health communication builds from evidence-based best practices and theory. In practice, health campaigns rely on considerations often under-discussed in health communication, such as consistent agency-style client service, image management, and community coalition-building. Health outcome progress often requires change at multiple levels, from individual cognition and behavior to policy creation.

Determination of the frequency of individuals with broadly cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies against PRRSV in the sow population under field conditions.

Background: Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) is a significant swine pathogen, yet the immune response components contributing to protection remain incompletely understood. Broadly reactive neutralizing antibodies (bNAs) may play a crucial role in preventing reinfections by heterologous viruses, although their occurrence is considered low under both field and experimental conditions. This study aimed to assess the frequency of sows exhibiting bNAs against PRRSV under field conditions and to analyze the epidemiological factors influencing the occurrence of these elite neutralizers.
