Limb Salvage Using Lateral Circumflex Femoral Artery Graft for a Hand Vibration Syndrome.

A 50-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with a chief complaint of long-standing cold-induced numbness in the fingers for more than a year, accompanied by persistent hand pain and fingertip ulceration for 3 months. On physical examination, radial and ulnar artery pulsation was absent in both limbs, and pale skin color, low skin temperature, and limited finger range of motion were noted. Gangrene was detected in the fingertips of the left index and middle fingers, and the right middle and ring fingers.

HLA-DQA1 expression is associated with prognosis and predictable with radiomics in breast cancer.

Background: High HLA-DQA1 expression is associated with a better prognosis in many cancers. However, the association between HLA-DQA1 expression and prognosis of breast cancer and the noninvasive assessment of HLA-DQA1 expression are still unclear. This study aimed to reveal the association and investigate the potential of radiomics to predict HLA-DQA1 expression in breast cancer.

Treatment of Aggressive T Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma/leukemia Using Anti-CD5 CAR T Cells.

While treatment for B-cell malignancies has been revolutionized through the advent of CAR immunotherapy, similar strategies for T-cell malignancies have been limited. Additionally, T-cell leukemias and lymphomas can commonly metastasize to the CNS, where outcomes are poor and treatment options are associated with severe side effects. Consequently, the development of safer and more effective alternatives for targeting malignant T cells that have invaded the CNS remains clinically important.

Multidetector computed tomography in the diagnosis of spontaneous isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection: changes in diameter on nonenhanced scan and stent treatment follow-up.

Objective: This study was performed to assess the changes in diameter of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in patients with spontaneous isolated SMA dissection (SISMAD) on nonenhanced multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and determine the clinical value of follow-up MDCT after endovascular stent placement (ESP).

Methods: The diameters of the SMA and superior mesenteric vein (SMV) as measured on nonenhanced MDCT were compared between 20 patients with SISMAD and 20 control subjects. ESP was performed in 14 patients with SISMAD, and follow-up MDCT was performed after ESP.
