Dieulafoy lesions are a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding, characterized by an enlarged submucosal blood vessel that bleeds without visible abnormalities. The diagnosis is typically made via endoscopy, and treatment usually involves endoscopic therapy. This case involves a 46-year-old female who presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to a Dieulafoy's lesion, treated with band ligation and later embolization after the lesion was found to originate from the left phrenic artery.

- The study examines the impact of adding zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles to denture base resin on its surface hardness and flexural strength during chewing and occlusal loading.
- Five groups of acrylic resin samples were created, with one group being a control and the others containing different concentrations of nanoparticles, and their properties were tested using specific machinery.
- Results showed that the modified denture resins had significantly improved properties, with the highest surface hardness from 1% TiO and the best flexural strength from 1% ZnO, indicating better durability compared to conventional resins.
Evaluation of the methods for determining accuracy of fit and precision of RPD framework in Digital (3D printed, milled) and conventional RPDs - a systematic review.

Article Synopsis
- The review examines how different methods for creating removable partial dentures (RPDs), both traditional and digital, impact the accuracy of fit and precision.
- A thorough analysis of literature identified 8 key studies, revealing that fabrication techniques like resin milling and selective laser melting produce varying levels of fit accuracy, with resin milling using PEEK being the most precise.
- Common assessment methods include silicone-based evaluations and digital superimposition, which are effective for measuring how well RPDs fit after fabrication.
In this case, the patient sustained a gunshot injury to the thigh and underwent surgery to treat a comminuted fracture. Six weeks after discharge, the patient presented with upper-thigh pain. Doppler ultrasound showed a deep femoral artery pseudoaneurysm, confirmed with computerized tomography (CT).

- - A 64-year-old man with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) experienced a serious bleed due to an angiomyolipoma in his kidney, which is a common and dangerous issue associated with TSC, especially in those with specific genetic mutations.
- - His existing health problems, like high blood pressure and cholesterol, made his condition more complicated, requiring intensive treatment that included fluid resuscitation and emergency procedures to stop the bleeding.
- - The case emphasizes the need for careful monitoring of TSC patients for potential hemorrhages, especially from larger angiomyolipomas, and stresses the benefits of a team-based approach in managing these patients for both immediate and long-term care.
