The aim of this work was to assess frequency rates of re-stenoses following surgical or endovasular treatment of re-stenoses after primary endarterectomies of the carotid artery, taking into consideration concomitant disorders and the contralateral findings. Another objective was to assess differences in peroperative and postoperative complications frequency rates. The retrospective study included patients undergoing vascular surgery during a seven-year period. The study revealed that repetitive restenoses were statistically significantly (3x) more frequent in cases of the endovascular management compared to that in re-operations (p = 0.015). In the repetitive re-stenoses patients, the rate of the contralateral carotid affection was significantly higher (93.8%, p = 0.05) and also the rate of the contralateral artery obliteration was higher (43.8%, p = 0.05). The highest frequency rates of the repetitive carotid re-stenosis was in patients with a concomitant affection of the contralateral artery. Surgical management of the repetitive re-stenosis of the carotid artery following its primary surgical management showed better results than the endovascular management.

Background: Global comparisons of the burden and impact of cancers of the brain and central nervous system (CNS) are critical for developing effective control strategies and generating etiological hypotheses to drive future research.
Methods: National incidence estimates were obtained from GLOBOCAN 2022, and recorded incidence data from the Cancer in Five Continents series, both developed and compiled by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. We examined the estimated age-standardized incidence rates in 185 countries, as well as time trends in recorded incidence in 35 countries, quantifying the direction and change in the magnitude of the rates using the estimated average percentage change (EAPC).

Biting midges of genus Leptoconops Skuse 1889 are small blood-feeding insects recognized as highly irritating diurnal pests in certain regions around the globe. In Europe, their presence is poorly documented, except in France and Italy. Following reports of human discomfort in a tourist area of Menorca, Balearic Islands (Spain), a small-scale study was conducted to identify the biting species and assess their preferred biting sites using a human-landing assay along a habitat gradient in a coastal dune area.

We reviewed the outcomes of truncus arteriosus repair (primary vs. staged repair incorporating bilateral pulmonary artery banding), focusing on survival, reintervention, and functional data. We analyzed 39 patients who underwent a first intervention for truncus arteriosus (staged, n = 19; primary, n = 20) between 1992 and 2022.

Objectives: Sickle cell disease (SCD), which disproportionately affects minorities, increases complications during pregnancy. Severe maternal mortality is increased in women with SCD, including morbidity related to the disease and other nondisease-related complications. It also can have devastating complications for fetuses, with increases in premature birth and low birth weight.
