We present a rare case of a 70-year-old man with a known case of hypertension and carcinoma larynx, he was admitted under ENT (ear, nose and throat) services for a laryngectomy. On admission, he started having severe per rectal bleeding. The patient underwent a number of radiological investigations to determine the origin of the bleed, including Tc 99 m labelled red blood cells tagged scan, a CT scan and two angiographies. The final angiogram showed an aberrant artery supplying the duodenum showing active extravasation. It was arising from the replaced right hepatic artery which itself arose from the superior mesenteric artery. Successful embolisation was performed using polyvinyl alcohol particles and microcoil. We present this rare case of an aberrant artery supplying the duodenum.

Excessive consumption of nicotine and alcohol has been proven to effect the organ system. Both stimulants are consumed in the population to a not insignificant extent. The question therefore arises as to what effect the consumption of nicotine and alcohol has on the complication rates and to what extent this should be reduced or stopped before performing a joint arthroplasty? A literature search was carried out to answer these questions.

Purpose: To describe a case in which a right replaced posterior cerebral artery (PCA) was associated with an ipsilateral superior cerebellar artery (SCA) type persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) variant.
Methods: A 53-year-old man who had been diagnosed with chronic dissection of the left vertebral artery (VA) 4 months previously underwent follow-up magnetic resonance (MR) angiography using a 3-Tesla scanner.
Results: MR angiography showed a slightly dilated left VA at the terminal segment without interval change.

Purpose: The two-stage exchange revision represents a pivotal strategy in the management of prosthetic joint infections, wherein the judicious timing of reimplantation serves as a crucial determinant for therapeutic success. At present, attempts have been made to utilize predictive models to establish the optimal timing for reimplantation; however, their predictive accuracy remains unsatisfactory. This inadequacy primarily arises from the lack of dependable predictive indicators, which demonstrate inconsistent effectiveness across various studies and occasionally yield contradictory outcomes.

In two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial electronics, vertical field-effect transistors (VFETs), where charges flow perpendicular to the channel materials, hold promise due to the ease of forming ultrashort channel lengths by utilizing the thinness of 2D materials. However, the poor performance of p-type VFET arises from the lack of a gate-field-penetrating electrode with suitable work functions, which is essential for VFET operation. This motivated us to replace graphene (work function of ∼4.

Hypercalcemia is a common electrolyte disturbance, most frequently caused by hyperparathyroidism or malignancy, though it can also arise from adrenal insufficiency, creating diagnostic challenges. We present a case of a 78-year-old male patient with stage 3b chronic kidney disease due to immunoglobulin A nephropathy who exhibited altered mental status following dehydration caused by a five-day episode of diarrhea. The patient presented with hypercalcemia and acute kidney injury.
