Establishing a Novel Animal Model of Tricuspid Regurgitation by Self-expanding Stent.
Ann Ital Chir
December 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Shaoxing People's Hospital, 312000 Shaoxing, Zhejiang, China.
Article Synopsis
- The aim of the study was to create a reproducible animal model of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) using a self-expanding nickel-titanium stent.
- The experiment involved 10 pigs, 7 in the experimental group undergoing TR induction through stent implantation, while 3 served as controls without the stent.
- Results showed significant changes in cardiac structure and function in the experimental group, indicating successful model establishment with no fatalities, making this approach effective for further research on right ventricular issues.
New evidence for baroreflex and respiratory chemoreflex mediated cerebral sympathetic activation in humans.

The brain is highly innervated by sympathetic nerve fibres; however, their physiological purpose is poorly understood. We hypothesized that unilateral cerebral norepinephrine (NE) spillover, an index of cerebral sympathetic nerve activity (SNA), would be elevated when engaging the baroreflex [via lower-body negative pressure (LBNP; -20 and -40 Torr)] and respiratory chemoreflexes [via carbon dioxide (CO) administration (+8 Torr)], independently, and in combination. Twelve young and healthy participants (5 females) underwent simultaneous blood sampling from the right radial artery and internal jugular vein.

Department of Ophthalmology, Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio, Texas.
We describe a case of orbital cellulitis with abscess formation following eyebrow piercing complicated by internal jugular vein thrombosis and subretinal abscesses requiring enucleation with orbital abscess drainage. The popularity of body piercing is increasing and physicians should be familiar with the possibility and management of vision-threatening complications of facial piercing. Following left eyebrow piercing, a 20-year-old female experienced increasing periorbital swelling, erythema, chemosis, orbital pain, decreased vision, and concomitant fever, chills, and rhinorrhea.

Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Nippon Medical School, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Previous computed tomography studies have reported that the superior mesenteric artery is often located ventrally to the superior mesenteric vein; however, the precise location of the peripheral jejunal arteriovenous system is unknown. This study investigated the arteriovenous positioning of the free jejunal flaps during reconstructive surgery.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 78 patients who underwent free jejunal flap reconstruction between June 2021 and May 2023.
Non-invasive removal of a misplaced and knotted guidewire during ultrasound-guided central venous catheter insertion in a hybrid operating room: a case report.
JA Clin Rep

Department of Anesthesiology, Yokohama Municipal Citizen's Hospital, Yokohama, Japan.
Background: The standard of care for placement of a central venous catheter (CVC) includes a real-time ultrasound (US)-guided technique. We describe a rare case in which the guidewire penetrated the posterior wall of the vessel, forming a knot, which precluded simple removal. This occurred despite the procedure being performed under real-time US guidance.
