Balloon cell nevi and balloon cell changes in nevi have rarely been reported in the literature. We describe a compound nevus showing focal balloon cell changes in a 20-year-old man. The melanocytic nature of the balloon cells is confirmed by an immunohistochemical study. The findings are compared with those in balloon cell melanomas.

Objective: M6A methylation-regulated macrophages play an important role in the occurrence and development of arteriosclerosis. However, their role in lower extremity arteriosclerosis remains unclear. Therefore, this study aims to explore the key factors that regulate arteriosclerosis methylation in the lower extremities and the mechanism by which they affect arteriosclerosis by influencing macrophage polarization.

Background: Endoscopic treatment for second primary malignancies after esophagectomy has been increasingly performed; however, evidence regarding the outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for superficial cancer of the remnant esophagus after esophagectomy (SCREE) is limited.
Methods: We retrospectively extracted cases of ESD for SCREE from our institutional database, which included 739 consecutive esophageal ESD procedures performed between January 2009 and September 2023. Information on prior treatment, clinical features of the lesions, and outcomes was evaluated.
The benefit of additional embolization after perioperative balloon occlusion of pelvic artery during cesarean hysterectomy in placenta accreta spectrum.

Department of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Radiology, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Background: Cesarean hysterectomy in the placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) remains challenging due to difficulty in controlling perioperative bleeding.
Purpose: To compare the effectiveness and safety of perioperative balloon occlusion with versus without pelvic artery embolization in PAS women who underwent a cesarean hysterectomy.
Material And Methods: A total of 26 pathological confirmed cases of PAS were retrospectively reviewed and categorized into two groups: perioperative balloon occlusion at either the anterior division of the internal iliac artery or uterine artery followed by gelfoam embolization (n = 12, study group) and perioperative balloon occlusion alone (n = 14, control group).
Safety or speed? Assessing alternative vascular access for angiography after resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in severe pelvic trauma patients.

Introduction: Pelvic fractures often result in life-threatening bleeding and hemodynamic instability. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has emerged as a promising strategy for patients with severe pelvic fractures, facilitating subsequent hemostatic interventions. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is a well-established procedure for managing pelvic fractures accompanied by hemorrhage.

Intrauterine Adhesions (IUAs) are characterized by endometrial damage due to endometritis or curettage. Currently, the gold standard for IUA treatment is hysteroscopy, which enables the dissolution of IUA through mechanical or electrosurgical energy. Common strategies to prevent recurrence include the insertion of a balloon catheter or IUD in the uterus.
