: The primary endothelial NADPH oxidase isoform 4 (NOX4) is notably induced during hypoxia, with emerging evidence suggesting its vasoprotective role through HO production. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate NOX4's significance in endothelial function under hypoxia. : Human vessels, in addition to murine vessels from mice, were explored.

Background: Understanding the emotional context of feeding behavior may help identify causal mechanisms of food avoidance among individuals with anorexia nervosa. Although predominant food avoidance models assume fear of fat drives feeding behavior, disgust may be more theoretically and proximally relevant to moment-to-moment experiences of feeding. This study, therefore, aimed to examine affect and food avoidance using automated affect analysis from facial response by measuring time-specific transitions in disgust during a laboratory eating paradigm.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was done to see how well patients with a specific type of problem in their aorta, called a penetrating aortic ulcer (PAU), did in a hospital, comparing those who had surgery to those who didn't.
  • They looked at 576 patients over 10 years, finding that most patients with PAUs were older men, and many had deep ulcers.
  • Results showed that patients who had surgery lived longer on average than those who were treated without surgery, but doctors need to be careful when interpreting data because there were different health conditions in the groups.

: A popliteal artery aneurysm (PAA) is traditionally treated by an open PAA repair (OPAR) with a popliteo-popliteal venous graft interposition. Although excellent outcomes have been reported in elective cases, the results are much worse in cases of emergency presentation or with the necessity of adjunct procedures. This study aimed to identify the risk factors that might decrease amputation-free survival (efficacy endpoint) and lower graft patency (technical endpoint).

Even after the endovascular revolution, acute compartment syndrome (CS) remains an important and frequently present differential diagnosis after many operations. Based on a qualitative review this article gives an overview of the most frequent forms of CS as well as some less frequent entities that require attention in the routine clinical practice. Additionally, the pathophysiology, diagnostics and treatment as well as current research topics for CS, especially concerning the lower leg, are dealt with in detail.
