AI Article Synopsis

  • Duplication of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is an uncommon condition seen in radiologic studies.
  • The occurrence of IVC duplication along with thrombosis is extremely rare.
  • The case discussed involves a patient with duplicated IVC who experienced symptomatic venous thrombosis in her lower extremity.

Article Abstract

Duplication of inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare finding in radiologic studies and its coincidence with thrombosis is even rarer. Here we described a rare case with duplication of IVC and symptomatic venous thrombosis of her lower extrimity.

Persistent trigeminal artery variant as a duplicate anterior inferior cerebellar artery.

Surg Radiol Anat

December 2024

Department of Neurosurgery, Nakamura Memorial Hospital, South 1, West 14, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, 060-8570, Hokkaido, Japan.

Purpose: A persistent trigeminal artery is the most common persistent carotid-vertebrobasilar anastomosis. Persistent trigeminal artery variants (PTAVs) terminate in the cerebellar arteries without connecting to the basilar artery; of these, the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) is the most common. AICA duplication is frequently observed.

Inferior vena cava aneurysms (IVCAs) are rare yet potentially lethal, especially if they are symptomatic or complicated. Among the IVCAs reported in the literature, only a few are associated with congenital vascular anomalies, including congenital IVC obstruction, tetralogy of Fallot, left-sided IVC, duplicated IVC, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome, and Klipper-Trenaunay syndrome. We present the case of an 8-cm symptomatic saccular IVCA in a patient with tetralogy of Fallot, treated successfully with surgical repair.

Background: Current advances in high-throughput sequencing technology enable the precise identification of Y chromosome microdeletion and primary duplication in infertile couples, but the mechanism and clinical significance of these mutations in assisted reproductive techniques remain unclear.

Objectives: To investigate the effects of AZFc (b2/b4, b1/b3, b2/b3, and gr/gr) deletions and primary duplications on the outcomes of the first intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment cycle.

Methods: Y chromosome microdeletions and primary duplications in infertile men were detected using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers found that tandem-duplications of the UBTF gene are linked to severe types of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in young patients, who typically do not respond well to standard treatments.
  • The study examined 14 pediatric MDS patients and discovered distinctive bone marrow changes, including hypercellularity, significant dysplasia, and unique features like increased micromegakaryocytes and abnormal erythropoiesis.
  • These findings suggest that identifying UBTF mutations through genetic tests can enhance understanding of the disease and help develop better treatment strategies for affected children.
