We describe a ten-month-old patient in whom intermittent patency and closure of the dectus arteriosus was observed clinically, and in whom this observation was uniquely demonstrated at the time of cardiac catheterization. The hemodynamics of this patient and the physiology of ductal closure are discussed.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) severity and fat, bone, and muscle indices.
Methods: This study included 102 patients with OSAHS and retrospectively reviewed their physical examination data. All patients underwent polysomnography, body composition analysis, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, computed tomography (CT) and blood test.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting postmenopausal women. This study investigated the effects of intermittent fasting (IF) on antioxidant and inflammatory markers and liver enzymes in postmenopausal, overweight and obese women with RA. This 8-week randomized controlled trial included 44 postmenopausal women with RA divided into an intervention group following a 16:8 IF diet and a control group maintaining their usual diet and received recommendations for healthy eating.

Basilar artery perforator aneurysms (BAPAs) are rare and may be occult on initial imaging due to their small size and susceptibility to intermittent thrombosis.1 2 Conventional treatments for aneurysms (eg, clipping or coiling) have proved challenging.3 Recently, endovascular electrocoagulation has been shown to be effective for BAPAs.

We present the case of a 48-year-old woman with intermittent left flank pain and an incidental finding of an adrenal tumor on computed tomography. The patient underwent laparoscopic tumor resection due to the large size of the tumor.

Arieli has previously demonstrated that the exposure metric K could be used to predict pulmonary oxygen toxicity (POT) based on changes in Vital Capacity (VC). Our previous findings indicate that the Equivalent Surface Oxygen Time (ESOT) allows the estimation of POT without loss of accuracy compared to K. In this work, we have further investigated POT recovery.
