Article Abstract
Before the advent of digital visualization, the "anatomical transparency"--layered images of organ systems, printed on a transparent medium--flourished in the mid-twentieth century as an interactive means to represent complex anatomical relationships to medical professionals and lay audiences. This article introduces the transparency work of medical illustrators Gladys McHugh and Ernest W. Beck, situating it in the historical context of strategies to represent three-dimensional anatomical relationships using print media.

A novel preoperative evaluation technique for partial nephrectomy: three-dimensional extended renal tumor plane.
World J Urol
December 2024
Department of Urology, Peking University First Hospital, Institute of Urology, Peking University, National Urological Cancer Center, Beijing, 100034, China.
Objective: To develop a three-dimensional (3D) image based extended tumor plane technique for robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN).
Methods: We prospectively enrolled patients with a local renal tumor for RAPN between March 2019 and Mar 2022. 3D virtual model was reconstructed based on the computed tomography urography.
Predicting cardiac and pregnancy outcomes in women with adult congenital heart disease using the Anatomic and Physiological (AP) Classification System: How much does physiology matter?

Background: Pregnancy in women with congenital heart disease (CHD) is associated with an increased risk of adverse maternal and fetal events. Despite the physiological impact of CHD on pregnancy, current risk stratification scores primarily consider anatomical lesions. We assessed the performance of the novel American Heart Association Anatomic and Physiological (AP) classification system in predicting adverse maternal cardiac, obstetric and fetal events, and compared it with established risk models.

Department of Neuroscience, University of Padova, 35121 Padova, Italy.
A large literature assessed the relationships between the O-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation status and glioblastoma location with inconsistent results. Studies assessing this association using the percentage of methylation are lacking. This cross-sectional study aimed at investigating relationships between glioblastoma topology and MGMT promoter methylation, both as categorical (presence/absence) and continuous (percentage) status.

Introduction: Adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) represent a heterogeneous and growing population with high healthcare utilization. We sought to understand the association between insurance type, healthcare use, and outcomes among adults with CHD in Oregon.
Methods: The Oregon All Payers All Claims database from 2010 to 2017 was queried for adults aged 18-65 in 2014 with ICD-9 or 10 codes consistent with CHD; patient demographics, comorbidities, healthcare use, and disease severity were identified.
Case Report: Surgical treatment of type B aortic dissection in an adult with double aortic arch.
Front Cardiovasc Med
December 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Background: Double aortic arch (DAA) with type B aortic dissection in adults is a rare aortic vascular disease. The abnormal anatomical structure of the aortic arch in such patients presents significant challenges in the selection of surgical approaches, and there is a notable lack of exploration into endovascular repair approaches that simultaneously preserve asymptomatic vascular rings.
Case Description: A 43-year-old female patient was admitted due to recurrent chest and back pain lasting for over a month.
