The aim of the study was to specify topographoanatomic features of internal thoracic artery (ITA) and right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA) for optimization of surgical and endoscopic methods of their mobilization. The study was carried out on 50 cadavers (27 men, 23 women) aged from 29 to 82 years (mean age 59 years). The following topographic parameters of the conduits were evaluated: disposition of the artery ostium; presence and disposition of parietal branches; presence and disposition of visceral branches; type of a terminal part of the artery; interdisposition with surrounding anatomic structures. It was found that topographic anatomy of ITA and RGEA permits one to use effectively mini-invasive and endoscopic methods of their mobilization and therefore, to reduce rate of complications and to optimize methods of ITA and RGEA effective use.

December 2024
Department of Radiology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, Craiova, ROU.
Background: Cervical cancer is considered one of the most common gynecological malignancies with an increased incidence in developing countries. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a valuable role in staging cervical cancer and providing valuable information necessary for selecting the appropriate treatment plan, while closely correlating with the prognosis of the patient.
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the preoperative loco-regional staging of cervical carcinoma.

Introduction: Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and cerebrovascular disease are leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a leading cause of dementia and stroke. While coronary small vessel disease (coronary microvascular dysfunction) causes microvascular angina and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Peking Union Medical College and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, No.1, Shuaifuyuan, Dongcheng District, Beijing, China.
Background: Perioral rejuvenation is challenging due to the lack of spatial anatomical understanding of the labiomandibular fold (LMF). The LMF's formation mechanism remains underexplored due to intricate relationships between musculature and subcutaneous structures. This study aimed to clarify the three-dimensional structures of the LMF using micro-computed tomography and histology.

Plastic Surgery, West Virginia University School of Medicine, Morgantown, USA.
Despite frequent occurrences, especially throughout the Appalachian region, fish bite injuries remain largely underreported. Muskellunge anglers are at a particularly heightened risk due to the fish's large mouth and notably sharp teeth. We present a case of a male who sustained an injury to the right volar thumb following a muskellunge bite.

Endosc Ultrasound
December 2024
Department of Gastroenterology, Ponderas Academic Hospital, Bucharest, Romania.
Background: EUS-guided fine-needle biopsy is the procedure of choice for the diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Nevertheless, the samples obtained are small and require expertise in pathology, whereas the diagnosis is difficult in view of the scarcity of malignant cells and the important desmoplastic reaction of these tumors. With the help of artificial intelligence, the deep learning architectures produce a fast, accurate, and automated approach for PDAC image segmentation based on whole-slide imaging.
