AI Article Synopsis
- A 79-year-old man experienced sudden headaches and backaches, leading to a CT scan that revealed a 4 cm dissecting aneurysm with a contained rupture in the brachiocephalic artery.
- Emergency surgery was performed, involving the replacement of the proximal aortic arch while using a method to maintain blood flow to the brain.
- The patient successfully came off cardiopulmonary bypass and had a smooth recovery post-surgery.
Article Abstract
A 79-year-old man with no history of trauma complained of a sudden onset of headache and backache. Computed tomography showed an isolated dissecting aneurysm 4 cm in diameter associated with contained rupture at the takeoff region of the brachiocephalic artery. Surgery was performed on an emergent basis. The proximal aortic arch was successfully replaced using antegrade selective cerebral perfusion. The patient was easily weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass and recovered uneventfully.

Homeostats: The hidden rulers of ion homeostasis in plants.
Quant Plant Biol

Instituto de Ciencias Biológicas, Universidad de Talca, Talca, Chile.
Ion homeostasis is a crucial process in plants that is closely linked to the efficiency of nutrient uptake, stress tolerance and overall plant growth and development. Nevertheless, our understanding of the fundamental processes of ion homeostasis is still incomplete and highly fragmented. Especially at the mechanistic level, we are still in the process of dissecting physiological systems to analyse the different parts in isolation.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with osteogenic transdifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and accumulation of arterial calcifications (AC). Metformin (MET) inhibits this transdifferentiation in vitro. Here, we evaluate the in vivo efficacy of oral MET to reduce AC in a model of MetS.

Article Synopsis
- This study highlights the critical role of light in facilitating exciton formation and separation in photocathodes, essential for charging lithium-ion batteries.
- Light induces oxidation changes in titanium-based cathodes, while heat fails to produce similar effects.
- The research suggests that effectively managing heat and light can lead to more efficient solar energy systems with minimal impact on battery components.

Introduction: Anorectal melanoma (ARM) is rare and highly lethal neoplasm. It has a poorer prognosis compared with cutaneous ones. Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has become the preferred method of nodal staging method for cutaneous melanoma.

Brain stimulation has, for many decades, been considered as a potential solution for the unmet needs of the many people living with drug-resistant epilepsy. Clinically, there are several different approaches in use, including vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), deep brain stimulation of the thalamus, and responsive neurostimulation (RNS). Across populations of patients, all deliver reductions in seizure load and SUDEP risk, yet do so variably, and the improvements seem incremental rather than transformative.
