An analysis of the data of laser doppler fluorometry in 136 patients has shown that different obliterating diseases have different typical fluorometric features of changes in microcirculation. Results of the postischemic test are of greater informative value in the noninvasive assessment of the functional state of microcirculation. The significance of the functional tests was particularly increasing in critical ischemia of the lower extremities. The intraoperative determination of the muscle blood flow allowed performing the control of the lower extremity revascularization and determining the optimum level of amputation.

Introduction: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVF) are abnormal anastomoses between meningeal arteries and dural venous sinuses. Typically, dAVF treatment involves an endovascular or microsurgical approach. Anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) dAVFs pose unique challenges due to their anatomy and location.

Tunneled Pleural Catheters: An Effective Nonsurgical Alternative for Nonexpandable Lung in Chronic Pleural Infection.

J Bronchology Interv Pulmonol

January 2025

Division of Thoracic Surgery and Interventional Pulmonology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School.

Background: Open window thoracostomy (OTW) is the standard of care for debilitated patients with chronic pleural infection and nonexpandable lungs (NEL) who are not candidates for major surgical intervention. Tunneled pleural catheters (TPC) offer tremendous treatment potential in this setting based on their efficacy in malignant pleural effusion and NEL. We aim to assess the efficacy, safety, and health care utilization of TPC in this setting.

Department of Surgery, Aga Khan Hospital, P.O. Box 2289, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania; Department of Surgery, Aga Khan University, P.O. Box 38129, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.

Introduction: The urachus is a fetal canal that connects the allantois to the bladder and typically obliterates by the 6th month of gestation. Failure of the urachus to obliterate can result in urachal anomalies, which, in rare cases, may undergo malignant transformation.

Case Presentation: We present a case of a 13-year-old female who experienced hematuria, dysuria, and abdominal pain persisting for over 4 months.

Background: Congenital arterial defects such as cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) increase brain bleeding risk. Conservative therapy, microsurgical removal, percutaneous embolization, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), or a combination may treat this serious disease. This study compares angioembolization with SRS to SRS alone in ruptured or unruptured brain ateriovenous malformations (BAVM) patients.

Synovial Chondromatosis of the Hand and Wrist: A 35-Year Retrospective Case Review.

J Hand Surg Asian Pac Vol

January 2025

Auckland Regional Centre for Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgery, Middlemore Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand.

Synovial chondromatosis is a condition that rarely occurs in the hand and wrist. Recurrence and malignant transformation are two potential complications of the disease. We set out to retrospectively review 35 years of practice within our sarcoma and tertiary hand unit and identify recurrence or malignant transformation.
