Article Synopsis
  • Non-traumatic true superficial temporal artery (STA) aneurysms are extremely rare, with only about 63 reported cases, and often lack detailed pathological descriptions.
  • The case study presented involves a 31-year-old man with a pulsating lump on his temple, diagnosed as a STA aneurysm via Doppler ultrasound, and confirmed with 3D CT angiography.
  • Clinical findings emphasize the importance of imaging to assess for additional vascular issues and highlight the potential risk of hemorrhagic rupture if left untreated, aiming to enhance awareness and guidance for evaluation and management of similar cases.

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are membrane-bound proteins, which are responsible for the detection of extracellular stimuli and the origination of intracellular responses. Both glucagon and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors belong to G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. Along with insulin, glucagon and GLP-1 are critical hormones for maintaining normal serum glucose within the human body.

Regardless of various strategies reported for cross-linking hyaluronic acid (HA) with 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE), seeking new strategies that enhance cross-linking efficiency with a low level of cross-linker is essential. In this work, we studied the influence of mixing approach on two cross-linked BDDE-HA hydrogels prepared by two different mixing approaches; the large-batch mixing approach in which the hydrogel quantities were all mixed as a single lump in one container (hydrogel 1), and the small-batches mixing approach in which the hydrogel quantities were divided into smaller batches, mixed separately at various HA/BDDE ratios then combined in one reaction mixture (hydrogel 2). The result showed that the cross-linking reaction was mixing process-dependent.
