AI Article Synopsis
- - Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects how the body makes connective tissues, leading to serious vascular issues like aortic problems and peripheral aneurysms.
- - A specific case is reported involving a patient with ruptured aneurysms in the axillary and left internal mammary arteries, which are major blood vessels in the body.
- - Treatment included using covered stent grafts and coils to successfully seal off the aneurysms, with follow-up imaging showing that both aneurysms had completely thrombosed and the stent grafts remained open.
Article Abstract
Marfan syndrome is an autosomally inherited disorder affecting the synthesis of connective tissues. Vascular manifestations of Marfan syndrome include aneurysmal dilatation of the aortic root, aortic dissection, and rupture. Peripheral aneurysms are mostly reported in the iliac, femoral, and subclavian arteries. We report a Marfan patient with a ruptured axillary artery aneurysm and a large left internal mammary artery aneurysm. The axillary aneurysm was successfully excluded using covered stent grafts, and the left internal mammary artery aneurysm was effectively coiled. Duplex ultrasound imaging at 4 months and computed tomography at 9 months demonstrated complete thrombosis and exclusion of both aneurysms with patent subclavian-axillary stent grafts.

Community-clinical partnerships are an effective approach to connecting primary care with public health to increase disease prevention and screenings and reduce health inequities. We explore how the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) award recipients and clinic teams are using community-clinical linkages to deliver services to populations who are without access to health care and identify barriers, facilitators, and lessons that can be used to improve program implementation. We used purposive sampling to select nine state recipients of the NBCCEDP and a clinic partner for each recipient.

Gallstone ileus is the mechanical obstruction of the bowel due to gallstone impaction. It forms when a fistula is created between the gallbladder and the gastrointestinal tract, which can result in small bowel obstruction. Its surgical management ranges from enterolithotomy, cholecystectomy, and fistula closure performed together (one-stage) or performed separately (two-stage), while some patients undergo simple enterolithotomy.

Introduction: Detection of mutations in primary tumors and liquid biopsy samples is of increasing importance for treatment decisions and therapy resistance in many types of cancer. The aim of the present study was to directly compare the efficacy of a relatively inexpensive ultrasensitive real-time PCR with the well-established and highly sensitive technology of ddPCR for the detection of the three most common hotspot mutations of , in exons 9 and 20, that are all of clinical importance in various types of cancer.
Patients And Methods: We analyzed 42 gDNAs from primary tumors (FFPEs), 29 plasma-cfDNA samples, and 29 paired CTC-derived gDNAs, all from patients with ER+ metastatic breast cancer, and plasma from 10 healthy donors.
Background: Local flaps for breast reconstruction are becoming recognized as a viable alternative to remote flaps.
Objectives: The purpose of this manuscript is to describe the anatomy and clinical outcomes using the internal mammary artery perforators and the lateral intercostal artery perforator flaps for breast reconstruction.
Methods: Twelve cadaveric specimens were injected with colored latex and dissected to demonstrate the medial perforators of the 5th intercostal space.

Nowadays, optical tweezers play a vital role not only in optical manipulation but also in bioassay. As principal optical trapping objects, microbeads can combine optical tweezers with suspension array technology, with amply focused laser beams and adequately concentrated tags contributing to highly sensitive detection. In view of the inefficiency of conventional single-trap optical tweezers, multitrap systems are developed.
