Background: Angioendotheliomatosis has recently been separated into two types. Malignant angioendotheliomatosis is a lymphoma in which the neoplastic cells accumulate in vascular lumens. Reactive angioendotheliomatosis is a proliferation of capillaries that is less well characterized.
Objective: Our purpose was to describe the clinical and histopathologic features of three cases of reactive angiomatosis in patients with cryoproteinemia.
Methods: Clinical and histologic data were correlated. Immunoperoxidase staining and electron microscopy were used in the histologic evaluation.
Results: All three cases showed tufts of capillaries with luminal deposits of cryoproteins. Immunohistochemical studies showed that the cellularity of the tufts was primarily caused by a proliferation of pericytes.
Conclusion: Cryoproteinemia can cause angiomatosis that simulates a vascular neoplasm.

Background: With advancements in minimally invasive thoracic surgery techniques, such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and robotic surgery, the design of vascular staplers has evolved to meet the requirements of these procedures. Consequently, newer generations of automatic staplers with improved handling and reduced size have been introduced, such as two-row staplers, which are more maneuverable and less bulky than their three-row counterparts.
Case Presentation: A 68-year-old man with lung cancer underwent a right middle and lower lobectomy due to tumor invasion into the central middle bronchial trunk, rendering the preservation of the middle lobe impossible.

Background: This study evaluates the efficacy of intravitreal Faricimab in reducing pigment epithelium detachment (PED) and fluid volumes in both treatment-naïve eyes and eyes unresponsive to anti-VEGF mono-therapies, all diagnosed with type 1 macular neovascularization (T1 MNV) over a period of 12-month.
Methods: A retrospective, single-center cohort study was conducted at the Jules Gonin Eye Hospital, Lausanne, Switzerland. Clinical records of treatment-naïve and non-responder switch patients presenting T1 MNV secondary to neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) from September 2022 to March 2023 were reviewed.

Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, a complex three-dimensional spine deformity, presents a formidable challenge for orthopedic residents in understanding its anatomy and surgical strategies. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of three-dimensional printing (3DP) models in enhancing the comprehension of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis among orthopedic residents.
Methods: Forty orthopedic residents were randomly divided into two groups, the first group received lectures that were augmented with 3DP models illustrating five cases of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, along with corresponding X-ray and CT images.
