High bifurcation of the unilateral brachial artery: an unusual variation.

Background: It is common to observe a high bifurcation of the brachial artery, with some variations being quite rare.

Materials And Methods: During routine dissection for medical teaching purposes, a unilateral high bifurcation of the brachial artery was noted on the left side of a female cadaver.

Results: On the left arm, 2 branches of different sizes originated from the axillary artery, one on the radial side and the other on the ulnar side.

Sintilimab with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for locally advanced or metastatic squamous non-small-cell lung cancer: a real-world data study.

Purpose: The ORIENT-12 study demonstrated the promising results of sintilimab combined with gemcitabine and platinum (GP) therapy in squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (sqNSCLC) patients. However, the efficacy of sintilimab plus paclitaxel/nab-paclitaxel and platinum (TP) in sqNSCLC is not yet known.

Methods: Real-life data were retrospectively collected from patients with untreated locally advanced or metastatic sqNSCLC who were treated with sintilimab plus TP (arm A) or sintilimab plus GP (arm B) between January 2019 and January 2021.
