Our aim was to explore the anatomical features of the cutaneous perforators from the ulnar palmar digital artery of the little finger and to establish the anatomical basis of the ulnar palmar digital artery perforator flap for reconstruction of the ulnar aspect of the palm and fingers. We found that at least one perforator is present between the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint and 9 mm proximal to the MCP joint. This finding establishes the anatomical basis of the distal base ulnar palmar digital artery perforator flap for reconstruction of the ulnar aspect of the palm and fingers.

Traumatic direct type carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) is an acquired arteriovenous shunt between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus post severe craniofacial trauma or iatrogenic injury. We reported a 46-year-old woman who had developed a traumatic direct type CCF after severe head trauma with a skull base fracture and brain contusion hemorrhage. The clinical manifestations of the patient included pulsatile exophthalmos, proptosis, bruits, chemosis, and a decline in consciousness.

: Hypertension is typically classified into two main groups, "dipper" and "non-dipper", based on nocturnal blood pressure decline. The coronary artery calcium score (CACS) is an essential biomarker used to assess the presence and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aims to demonstrate the relationship between CACS and hypertensive patients with moderate-to-high cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk classified as either dipper or non-dipper.

Introduction: The critical role played by vascular dysfunction and ineffective angiogenesis in the pathophysiology of systemic sclerosis (SSc) suggests that circulating biomarkers reflecting these alterations may be useful in the clinical evaluation of this patient group. We sought to address this issue by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies investigating a such candidate biomarker, endostatin, an endogenous glycoprotein exerting anti-angiogenic effects, in SSc patients and healthy controls.

Methods: A literature search was conducted in the electronic databases Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus from inception to 27 May 2024.

Case report: Detecting giant cell arteritis in [Ga]Ga-DOTA-Siglec-9-PET/CT.

Front Immunol

January 2025

Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, Clinic of Internal Medicine III, University Hospital Bonn, Bonn, Germany.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of [Ga]Ga-DOTA-Siglec-9 positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) in assessing disease activity in a patient experiencing a relapse of giant cell arteritis (GCA).

Case Presentation: A 90-year-old male patient with GCA, diagnosed in 2018, was enrolled. Demographic data, disease history, and laboratory parameters, including soluble VAP-1 (sVAP-1) levels, were recorded.
