AI Article Synopsis
- The study discusses unique surgical procedures performed over four years on patients with significant atherosclerosis in both internal and external carotid arteries.
- An original technique for carotid endarterectomy was used on four patients, highlighting its effectiveness.
- The research emphasizes the critical role of external carotid endarterectomy in preserving proper blood flow in the brain, particularly when atherosclerosis affects both external and internal carotid arteries.
Article Abstract
Exceptional surgical reports of widespread atherosclerotic involvement of both internal and external carotid arteries required us to carry out an unusual surgical procedure. During a four years period an original carotid endarterectomy's technique was performed in four patients. We point on the importance of a correct external carotid endarterectomy on maintaining an effective intracranial arterial flow, especially when atherosclerotic lesions are contemporary present in the extra and intracranial internal carotid arteries.

Risk prediction for elderly cognitive impairment by radiomic and morphological quantification analysis based on a cerebral MRA imaging cohort.

Objective: To establish morphological and radiomic models for early prediction of cognitive impairment associated with cerebrovascular disease (CI-CVD) in an elderly cohort based on cerebral magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).
Methods: One-hundred four patients with CI-CVD and 107 control subjects were retrospectively recruited from the 14-year elderly MRA cohort, and 63 subjects were enrolled for external validation. Automated quantitative analysis was applied to analyse the morphological features, including the stenosis score, length, relative length, twisted angle, and maximum deviation of cerebral arteries.
Minimally invasive measurement of carotid artery and brain temperature in the mouse.

Purpose: Brain temperature is tightly regulated and reflects a balance between cerebral metabolic heat production and heat transfer between the brain, blood, and external environment. Blood temperature and flow are critical to the regulation of brain temperature. Current methods for measuring in vivo brain and blood temperature are invasive and impractical for use in small animals.

Background And Objectives: The middle fossa approaches are tremendously versatile for treating small vestibular schwannomas, selected petroclival meningiomas, midbasilar trunk aneurysms, and lesions of the petrous bone. Our aim was to localize the internal acoustic canal and safely drill the petrous apex with these approaches. This study demonstrates a new method to locate the internal acoustic canal during surgery in the middle fossa.

: The external carotid artery (ECA) supplies blood to various facial and neck regions and may contribute to collateral cerebral perfusion. With the rise in carotid artery stenting (CAS) as a treatment for carotid stenosis, ECA overstenting has become a common procedure feature. This study aimed to assess the incidence, characteristics, and duration of facial pain following CAS, hypothesizing that ECA overstenting may contribute to facial pain.

Sport-related concussions are a common type of brain injury, and the best treatment is prevention. Recently, external jugular vein compression collars have been worn by National Football League players, but the current evidence is limited. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first comprehensive, up-to-date systematic review addressing the use of jugular vein compression collars for decreasing concussion incidence in high-impact sports and activities.
