Sliding hip screws (SHSs) are commonly used for the operative treatment of extracapsular neck of femur fractures. We report 2 rare cases of intrapelvic migration of an SHS, resultant of non-unions, threatening regional major vessels. Only a handful of such cases have previously been reported in the literature.

Information about long-term outcomes in adults is lacking, which prompted us to undertake a retrospective observational study.
Methods: We extracted ARG1-D patient data spanning a 5-year period from electronic health records.
: The endovascular treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms, such as wide-neck aneurysms (WNAs), remains a challenge. More established endovascular techniques, which include balloon-assisted coiling, stent-assisted coiling, and flow diversion, all have their drawbacks. Intrasaccular flow disruptor devices have emerged as a useful tool for the neurointerventionalist.

- * A study reviewed the use of a balloon guide catheter (BGC) in 22 patients undergoing VSS, effectively aiding in stent delivery without complications.
- * The findings suggest that BGCs enhance safety and efficiency in VSS, particularly in navigating complex venous structures.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between hormonal contraceptive use and breast cancer risk in both unaffected women and mutation carriers.
- Out of the participants, it was found that hormonal contraceptive use was linked to a higher breast cancer risk in mutation carriers, particularly with longer duration of use.
- The findings suggest that decisions regarding hormonal contraceptive use for women with genetic mutations should consider individual risk factors and benefits.
