Historically, superficial venous aneurysms of the lower extremities are considered rare. However, owing to the increased use of duplex ultrasound imaging, these entities are being recognized more frequently. The clinical significance of superficial aneurysms is poorly defined; yet, pulmonary emboli arising from superficial aneurysms have been reported. Symptomatic patients typically complain of the sequelae of reflux, such as edema, pain, mass, and varicosities. Current treatment consists of simple open excision. We report two cases of small saphenous vein aneurysm and provide review of its pathophysiology, presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and therapy.

Ischemic preconditioning in arterialized venous flap: Temperature effects and monitoring.

Introduction: Arterialized venous flap, like any other flap, will undergo an ischemic reperfusion injury during its transfer process. To overcome this, ischemic preconditioning can be done to provide protection and enhanced flap survival. One of the reliable parameters of flap survival is its temperature.

In the pursuit of personalized medicine, there is a growing demand for computational models with parameters that are easily obtainable to accelerate the development of potential solutions. Blood tests, owing to their affordability, accessibility, and routine use in healthcare, offer valuable biomarkers for assessing hemostatic balance in thrombotic and bleeding disorders. Incorporating these biomarkers into computational models of blood coagulation is crucial for creating patient-specific models, which allow for the analysis of the influence of these biomarkers on clot formation.

The cranial mesenchyme, originating from both neural crest and mesoderm, imparts remarkable regional specificity and complexity to postnatal calvarial tissue. While the distinct embryonic origins of the superior and dura periosteum of the cranial parietal bone have been described, the extent of their respective contributions to bone and vessel formation during adult bone defect repair remains superficially explored. Utilizing transgenic mouse models in conjunction with high-resolution multiphoton laser scanning microscopy (MPLSM), we have separately evaluated bone and vessel formation in the superior and dura periosteum before and after injury, as well as following intermittent treatment of recombinant peptide of human parathyroid hormone (rhPTH), Teriparatide.

Background: Systemic inflammation biomarkers have been widely shown to be associated with infection. This study aimed to construct a nomogram based on systemic inflammation biomarkers and traditional prognostic factors to assess the risk of surgical site infection (SSI) after hip fracture in the elderly.
Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from patients over 60 with acute hip fractures who underwent surgery and were followed for more than 12 months between June 2017 and June 2022 at a tertiary referral hospital.
Presentation, Treatment and Outcomes of Brachial Artery Aneurysms.

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Mayo Clinic Health System, Eau Claire, WI. Electronic address:
Objective: Brachial artery aneurysms are rare entities that have typically been associated with trauma, infection, arterio-venous fistula creation or connective tissue disorders. These aneurysms are often asymptomatic, but they can also cause local tenderness or thrombo-embolic events. Due to the very low incidence of true brachial artery aneurysms, there are no standardized guidelines on their optimal management.
