Masson's Tumor as an Uncommon Cause of Neck Mass: A Case Presentation.

Background: Masson's tumor, commonly referred to as intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), is an uncommon growth of endothelial cells within a vessel wall that is frequently assumed to indicate an abnormal resolution of thrombosis. IPEH is most typically found in the extremities however it is rare for IPEH to appear as a neck tumor. The issue with IPEH is that it could clinically, radiologically, and pathologically imitate some malignant neoplasms such as angiosarcomas creating a diagnostic challenge.

Non-classical monocytes frequency and serum vitamin D levels are linked to diabetic foot ulcer associated with peripheral artery disease.

Aims/introduction: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) serves as a risk factor for diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). PAD pathology involves atherosclerosis and impaired immunity. Non-classical monocytes are believed to have an anti-inflammatory role.

Admission Levels of Serum P-Selectin and IL-6 Can Predict Development of Deep Venous Thrombosis in Hospitalized Covid-19 Patients.

Background And Aim: Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities is common in Covid-19 patients. Interleukin (IL)-6 and P-selectin were found to be elevated in Covid-19 patients. The current study aimed to evaluate P-selectin and IL6 in Covid-19 patients with DVT and to explore its relation to clinical and laboratory parameters in those patients.

Platelet-derived growth factor-beta as a new marker of deep venous thrombosis.

Background: Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Thus, there is a great need to demonstrate a more efficient biomarker that would confirm the diagnosis of DVT. Our work aimed to evaluate the role of platelet-derived growth factor-beta (PDGF-B) as a new marker of DVT and its correlation with other radiological and laboratory tools used for the diagnosis.

Early Outcomes of Traumatic Femoral Artery Aneurysm (Open Repair versus Endovascular Treatment).

Background: The goals of surgical treatment of traumatic femoral artery aneurysm (FAA) are to isolate and excise the aneurysm, prevent distal embolization, and allow effective revascularization. During recent years, endovascular surgery has become a valid alternative to open repair. We aimed to compare early outcomes of the stent graft in the treatment of traumatic FAA and open surgical procedures.
