Background: Traumatic intracranial aneurysms (TICAs) can be fatal if ruptured. We report a case of a TICA, distant from facial bone fractures, successfully treated with flow diverter (FD) before rupture.
Case Presentation: A 20-year-old woman was admitted following a car accident.
Superficial Thoracic Artery Perforator Flap for Volume Replacement Oncoplastic Breast-conserving Surgery.
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open
June 2024
Lateral chest wall perforator flaps, such as the lateral intercostal artery perforator flap, lateral thoracic artery perforator flap, and thoracodorsal artery perforator flap, have been used for volume replacement oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery (VR-OPBCS) in the lateral and central breast. However, there are cases in which these perforators are missing or too thin, making it difficult to raise a flap for partial breast reconstruction. A 58-year-old woman underwent VR-OPBCS for breast cancer in the lower quadrant of the right breast.

We herein report a case of a ruptured distal posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) dissecting aneurysm treated with internal trapping using n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA). A 65-year-old man visited our hospital with a complaint of headache and neck pain that began 1 week before his arrival.

- - Psoralen-conjugated triplex-forming oligonucleotides (Ps-TFOs) have been researched for genome editing and anti-gene applications for over 30 years, but studies involving artificial nucleotides are limited and their photo-crosslinking effects are underexplored.
- - This study focused on newly developed Ps-TFOs with 2'-O,4'-C-methylene-bridged nucleic acids (Ps-LNA-mixmer) and assessed their photo-crosslinking properties and anti-gene activities using stable firefly luciferase-expressing cell lines.
- - The research found that Ps-LNA-mixmer effectively suppresses gene expression and established the first link between
Background: Pharyngocutaneous fistula formation represents a major postoperative complication following total laryngectomy. We aimed to investigate the risk factors for pharyngocutaneous fistula development after total laryngectomy and to identify factors that lead to severe cases of pharyngocutaneous fistula.
Methods: Patients who underwent total laryngectomy between January 2013 and February 2021 were included in the study and were divided into 2 groups: Those with and without pharyngocutaneous fistula.
