The facial and transverse facial arteries supply blood to the superficial structures of the face. Understanding these arterial variations is essential for optimizing surgical planning and outcomes, especially in invasive facial procedures. A 78-year-old male cadaveric dissection documented variations in facial and transverse facial arteries.

Anatomical variation of the pulmonary vessels poses challenges to thoracoscopic lung resection and may be associated with an increased risk of intraoperative bleeding and damage to pulmonary circulation. Herein, we reported a rare and dangerous variation as the partial anomalous venous drainage of the right upper lobe into the superior vena cava in a patient undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy for management of lung cancer of right upper lobe. The preoperative identification of such variation by 3D computed tomography scan allowed to plan a safe and accurate resection, and to prepare additional strategies for overcome unexpected intraoperative bleeding.

Background: The intricate anatomical variations in lung structure often perplex thoracic surgeons, and the accurate identification of these variations is closely associated with favorable surgical outcomes.
Case Presentation: A 53-year-old female patient who underwent computed tomography (CT) examination due to chest discomfort, revealing the presence of a partial solid nodule highly suspected of early-stage lung cancer, measuring approximately 2.8 × 2.

El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) exhibits a strong asymmetry between warm El Niño and cold La Niña in amplitude and temporal evolution. An El Niño often leads to a heat discharge in the equatorial Pacific conducive to its rapid termination and transition to a La Niña, whereas a La Niña persists and recharges the equatorial Pacific for consecutive years preconditioning development of a subsequent El Niño, as occurred in 2020-2023. Whether the multiyear-long heat recharge increases the likelihood of a transition to a strong El Niño remains unknown.

Mixed neuroendocrine non-neuroendocrine neoplasms are exceedingly rare tumors, especially those of gallbladder origin. Anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction is an uncommon congenital abnormality that can predispose various types of hepatobiliary malignancies. We present an unusual case of a 46-year-old woman with anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction who presented to the emergency department with nausea, vomiting, and right upper quadrant pain.
