Background: Variations in the carotid arterial system significantly impact atherosclerosis's clinical and surgical management, which predominantly occurs at arterial bifurcations.
Objectives: This study aimed at evaluating anatomical variations in the bifurcation levels of the common carotid artery (CCA) and the superior thyroid artery (STA), emphasizing clinical relevance.
Methods: This was an observational cross-sectional study conducted in June 2021 using 32 embalmed cadavers of adult age from medical schools in Khartoum, Sudan.
Article Synopsis
- - Felty syndrome (FS) is a serious complication of severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that can be identified by symptoms like neutropenia and splenomegaly, particularly in patients without an obvious cause.
- - A case study of a 52-year-old patient illustrates an unusual early presentation of FS with symptoms including fever, night sweats, and lung abscesses, despite having been diagnosed with RA two years earlier without treatment.
- - After starting antifungal medications and corticosteroids, the patient showed significant improvement with normalization of blood counts and a reduction in spleen size, highlighting the need for attentive diagnosis in RA patients regardless of their disease duration.
: Lymphedema is an abnormal accumulation of interstitial fluid, due to inefficient uptake and reduced flow, leading to swelling and disability, mostly in the extremities. Hereditary lymphedema usually occurs as an autosomal dominant trait with allelic heterogeneity. : We identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the FOXC2 gene using dbSNP, analyzed their effect on the resulting protein using VEP and Biomart, modelled the resulting protein using Project HOPE, identified gene - gene interactions using GeneMANIA and predicted miRNAs affected and the resulting effects of SNPs in the 5' and 3' regions using PolymiRTS.
