Cyanoacrylate Glue Ablation for Symptomatic Reflux in a Duplicated Femoral Vein: A Case Report.

The literature on minimally invasive techniques specifically targeting reflux in symptomatic femoral vein duplication (FVD) is limited. We present a rare case of symptomatic reflux in FVD, successfully treated with cyanoacrylate glue ablation under ultrasonographic guidance. Our findings suggest that the unique anatomy of FVD can be effectively addressed through percutaneous endovenous glue ablation, providing a technically safe and feasible alternative without open surgery.

sp. nov., isolated from sea water.

A novel Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic and rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated as DAU312, was isolated from the sea water of the eastern coast of the Republic of Korea. Optimal growth was observed at 25 °C, pH 7.0-8.

Stocking-only versus additional eccentric compression after below-the-knee truncal vein sclerotherapy: A SOVAECS prospective randomized within-person trial.

Objective: After foam sclerotherapy in the truncal saphenous vein, the clinical effects of additional eccentric compression has not yet been explored.

Methods: Between April 2020 and February 2021, we enrolled 42 patients (84 limbs) who underwent bilateral endovenous combined therapy for great saphenous vein (GSV) reflux. Each patient received the same type of endovenous ablation in both above-the-knee GSVs (laser, radiofrequency, cyanoacrylate glue), and combined foam sclerotherapy was performed on both below-the-knee GSVs.

Incidence and Clinical Impact of Endovenous Glue-Induced Hypersensitivity Among Patients Who Underwent Endovenous Cyanoacrylate Ablation Procedures: A Registry-Based Cohort Study.

Background: The characteristics of endovenous glue-induced hypersensitivity (EGIH) remain unclear.

Objective: To assess the clinical impacts on patients with EGIH after endovenous cyanoacrylate-glue ablation (CA).

Materials And Methods: A prospectively designed endovenous CA-specific registry was created, and a total of 335 limbs from 173 patients who underwent endovenous CA were enrolled for a cohort study.

Prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of opioid use disorder under the supervision of opioid stewardship programs: it's time to act now.

The third opium war may have already started, not only due to illicit opioid trafficking from the Golden Crescent and Golden Triangle on the international front but also through indiscriminate opioid prescription and opioid diversion at home. Opioid use disorder (OUD), among unintentional injuries, has become one of the top 4 causes of death in the United States (U.S.

Deep learning for neural decoding in motor cortex.

. Neural decoding is an important tool in neural engineering and neural data analysis. Of various machine learning algorithms adopted for neural decoding, the recently introduced deep learning is promising to excel.

Searching for Evidence-Based Public Policy and Practice: Analysis of the Determinants of Personal/Public Adaptation and Mitigation Behavior against Particulate Matter by Focusing on the Roles of Risk Perception, Communication, and Attribution Factors.

In recent years, awareness about the risk of particulate matter (PM) has increased both domestically and internationally; consequently, various policies have been implemented to reduce PM. Since citizens are both victim and cause of this risk, PM cannot be successfully decreased only through government policies. Therefore, citizens' active participation is required to reduce PM and prevent its risks.

Association between age at menarche and diabetes in Korean post-menopausal women: results from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2009).

Early menarche is known to be associated with diabetes, however this association remains controversial. Our study aimed to investigate the possible association between age at menarche and diabetes prevalence in post-menopausal Korean women. This study included 3,254 post-menopausal Korean women aged 50-85 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey IV (KNHANES 2007-2009).

Multifocal Adenocarcinomas Arising within a Gastric Inverted Hyperplastic Polyp.

We present herein the occurrence of multifocal adenocarcinomas with a minute signet ring cell carcinoma that arose within a gastric inverted hyperplastic polyp (IHP) in a 40-year-old woman. Endoscopic ultrasonography demonstrated a heterogeneous hypoechoic mass in the third layer of the gastric wall. The endoscopic submucosal dissection specimen measuring 3.

Infection status of estuarine fish and oysters with intestinal fluke metacercariae in Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do, Korea.

The source of human infection with intestinal flukes was surveyed in estuarine fishes, including the dotted gizzard shad, common sea bass, common blackish goby, redlip mullet, black sea bream, and oyster collected from Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do, Korea during August and September 2007. Collected fishes and oysters were artificially digested in pepsin-HCl solution and examined under a stereomicroscope. In 36 shads (Konosirus punctatus) and 20 basses (Lateolabrax japonicus) examined, Heterophyopsis continua metacercariae were found in 58.

Epidemiological survey on the infection of intestinal flukes in residents of Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do, the Republic of Korea.

Infection status of intestinal flukes was investigated in residents of Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do, the Republic of Korea. Total 1,257 fecal samples of residents were examined by formalin-ether sedimentation technique and Kato-Katz thick smear method. Helminth eggs were detected from 95 (7.
