In this case an aneurysm of the right posterior communicating artery developed 11 months after an infundibular dilation of this artery had been angiographycally and surgically demonstrated. In the best of the authors' knowledge, there are only eleven such cases reported in the literature. This report brings about diagnostic and therapeutic questions regarding arterial infundibula and the need of a better understanding of those lesions.

Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of lipids and leukocytes within the arterial wall. By studying the aortic transcriptome of atherosclerosis-prone apolipoprotein E (ApoE) mice, we aimed to identify novel players in the progression of atherosclerosis.
Methods: RNA-Seq analysis was performed on aortas from ApoE and wild-type mice.

Background: In patients with COPD, preventive treatment with acetazolamide reduces adverse health effects during altitude travel. We investigated whether preventive acetazolamide treatment modifies exercise performance in COPD patients going to high altitude.
Methods: In this randomised, double-blind trial, lowlanders with COPD, forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV) 40-80% predicted, were assigned to acetazolamide (375 mg per 24 h) or placebo treatment starting 24 h before ascent and while staying at 3100 m.
Comparing PD-L1 and PD-1 inhibitors plus bevacizumab combined with hepatic arterial interventional therapies in unresetable hepatocellular carcinoma: A single-center, real-world study.

With the rise of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor antibody and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) regimens, particularly bevacizumab and atezolizumab, as first-line treatments for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), there is a need to explore PD-L1 and programmed cell death 1 inhibitors in combination therapies for unresectable HCC (uHCC). Integrating systemic therapies with locoregional approaches is also emerging as a potent strategy. This study compares the outcomes of atezolizumab (PD-L1 inhibitor) and sintilimab (programmed cell death 1 inhibitor) with bevacizumab or its biosimilar, combined with hepatic arterial interventional therapies (HAIT) in uHCC patients.

Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disorder that can lead to right ventricular failure and severe consequences. Despite extensive efforts, limited progress has been made in preventing the progression of PAH. Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in the development of PAH, but the key mitochondrial functional alterations in the pathogenesis have yet to be elucidated.
