Introduction: Extracranial internal carotid stenosis (EICS) is a well-established cause of stroke. Carotid near-occlusion (CNO), either distally collapsed or not, is a rare sub-type of EICS with conflicting data regarding the necessity for treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of carotid artery stenting (CAS) for patients with symptomatic CNOs.

- Microcirculation and neurovascular coupling are crucial for understanding neurological conditions, with a focus on the mouse retina due to its similarities to the human brain and its easy observation.* -
- The study introduces a new optical imaging technology called spatio-temporal optical coherence tomography (STOC-T), specifically designed to accurately monitor vascular hemodynamics in mouse retinas.* -
- Results show high-quality images of retinal structures and detailed measurements of blood flow and tissue displacement, providing valuable insights into retinal biomechanical properties and the dynamics of blood circulation within the retina.*
The aim of this study was to evaluate how abdominal massage affects the constipation of the elderly in the nursing home. This randomized controlled experimental study was conducted with an intervention group ( n = 30) and a control group ( n = 31) in the nursing home of a government institution. A 15-minute abdominal massage was applied to the intervention group once a day, 5 days a week for 1 month.

- Brachial artery aneurysms are rare dilations of the artery that can be true or pseudoaneurysms, with the case report focusing on a true aneurysm and its surgical repair.
- A 61-year-old male experienced swelling and pain in his right arm for six months, leading to the diagnosis of a true brachial artery aneurysm linked to an arteriovenous fistula, which was surgically repaired using a graft from his saphenous vein.
- There is limited literature on managing true brachial artery aneurysms, and while surgery is the main treatment, endovascular repair may also be a viable option.
Background: Onychomycosis is a chronic nail infection, and dermatophytes, yeasts, and nondermatophytic molds may be the causative agents. This study aimed to determine the etiological agents of onychomycosis by using conventional and molecular methods.
Methods: Between June 2020 and July 2021, 37 patients with a presumptive diagnosis of onychomycosis and mycological evidence (culture and/or EUROArray Dermatomycosis assay) were included in the study.
