Aim: The purpose of this study was to review the outcomes of endovascular treatment and open repair of visceral artery aneurysms, and to compare their results.
Methods: Between January 1995 and January 2009, 42 patients (22 males) underwent surgical or endovascular treatment for visceral artery aneurysms. Mean age was 60 ± 13 (range, 35-85). Overall, 12 patients (25%) were asymptomatic, twenty-six patients (54.2%) were symptomatic, and 10 aneurysms (20.8%) were ruptured. The first 12 cases (28.6%) were treated with open repair; thereafter, endovascular techniques were used to treat 30 VAAs (71.4%).
Results: Ten patients were treated in emergency setting [8 in the endovascular group (26.6%) and 2 in the open repair group (16.7%), P=0.491]. In the endovascular group, primary technical success was achieved in 29 of 30 VAAs (96.6%). Overall in-hospital mortality was 2.4%. Major complications occurred in 8 patients (3 endovascular vs 5 open repair, P=0.01). Overall, mean hospitalization was 9.7 vs. 13 days (P<0.0001). Mean follow-up was 64 months (range, 3 months-14 years). In the endovascular group, reperfusion was higher in larger (>5 cm) aneurysms (P<0.0001).
Conclusion: Endovascular techniques could be the first treatment option for all visceral artery aneurysms.

Background: The treatment algorithm for traumatic shoulder instability has evolved, emphasizing the significance of glenoid bone loss and the glenoid track, addressing humeral, and glenoid vault bone deficiencies. This study examines trends and demographics of anterior shoulder instability procedures in the United States from 2010 to 2020.
Methods: PearlDiver database was queried for patients who underwent traumatic anterior shoulder instability procedures.
Background: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when one or more pelvic organs (uterus, bowel, bladder or top of the vagina) descend from their normal position and bulge into the vagina. Symptoms include pelvic discomfort, fullness, and changes in bladder or bowel function. Treatment ranges from conservative approaches to surgery, depending on symptom severity.

The SPIRIT statement, designed for trial protocol content, does not adequately cover the distinctive features of EPDF trials. Recent findings indicate that the protocol contents in past EPDF trials frequently lacked completeness and clarity.

Arterial spin labelling (ASL) enables non-invasive quantification of regional brain perfusion using MRI. ASL was used in the Reducing Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease through Angiotensin TaRgeting (RADAR) multi-centre trial to pilot the assessment of the effects of the anti-hypertension drug losartan on cerebral blood flow (CBF). In the multi-centre setting, disparities in ASL implementation on scanners from different manufacturers lead to inherent differences in measured CBF and its associated parameters (e.
