A 25-year-old man had a right sided cyst-like swelling removed from his forehead. Histology revealed a well circumscribed spindle cell lesion with myxomatous changes. Immunohistochemical staining with muscle markers (smooth muscle actin, muscle specific actin) was positive. The histological features along with the immunohistochemical staining profile are of a leiomyoma with myxoid change arising in the temporal artery. Leiomyomata arising from vessels are extremely rare and to our knowledge this is the first case arising from the temporal artery.

Introduction: Endolymphatic sac tumor (ELST) is a rare neoplasm that exhibits aggressive growth primarily in the endolymphatic capsule and can potentially affect nearby neurovascular structures. The diagnosis of ELST poses challenges due to its low prevalence, gradual progression, and nonspecific symptomatology. It is currently believed that prompt surgical intervention is recommended for endolymphatic sac tumors upon diagnosis.

Background: To establish an objective method for assessing plus disease severity in retinopathy of prematurity.
Methods: Six images of plus diseases that were color-coded according to severity and published in the International Classification of Retinopathy of Prematurity, Third Edition (ICROP3) were analyzed. These images were individually processed, and the best-fit curve and vessel course in zone I were obtained using ImageJ software.

Background: Growing evidence indicates that disruptions in mitochondrial quality management contribute to the development of acute kidney injury (AKI), incomplete or maladaptive kidney repair, and chronic kidney disease. However, the temporal dynamics of mitochondrial quality control alterations in relation to renal injury and its recovery remain poorly understood and are addressed in this manuscript.
Method: ology: Male Wistar rats (n = 60) were subjected to varying durations of ischemia and reperfusion.
Intraoperative Superficial Temporal Artery-middle Cerebral Artery Bypass Failure during Combined Bypass Surgery in Children with Moyamoya Disease.

Pediatric patients with moyamoya disease frequently show rapid progression with a high risk of stroke. Indirect revascularization is widely accepted as a surgical treatment for pediatric moyamoya disease, but it does not augment cerebral blood flow immediately, which leaves patients at risk for stroke peri-operatively. This delay in flow augmentation may make adding direct bypass the better option.
