Most anesthetics reduce cardiac functions and lower blood pressure (BP), potentially causing excessive BP reduction in dehydrated patients or those with heart conditions, such as coronary artery disease (CAD). Considering the increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease with age, anesthesiologists must be cautious about BP reduction during general anesthesia in older adults. In the present case, a 76-year-old male patient with undiagnosed CAD in a hypovolemic state experienced a significant drop in systolic BP to the fifties during propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia.

Background And Purpose: Having good collaterals is associated with better clinical outcomes in patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy. This study aims to evaluate whether the effect of collateral status on functional outcomes is modified by volemia at admission.
Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective analysis of patients who had acute proximal anterior circulation occlusion and underwent endovascular thrombectomy between January 2019 and June 2022.

A 59-year-old male presented to the emergency department with distressing epigastric pain after seeking medical attention at a nearby clinic three hours prior. Upon examination, the attending physician noticed edematous changes in the proximal segment of the superior mesenteric artery, and a subsequent enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed the diagnosis of an isolated dissection of the artery. Notably, the true lumen of the vessel was significantly narrowed, raising concerns for potential vascular compromise.

The prevalence of aneurysm formation in adults with Moyamoya disease (MMD) is higher than that in the general population. The treatment strategy is often individualized based on the patient's disease characteristics. A 22-year-old man was diagnosed with MMD after presenting a small thalamic intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhage in the quadrigeminal cistern.

After more than four decades of post-approval, cisplatin is still an important treatment for numerous cancers. However, acute kidney injury (AKI), defined as significant impairment of renal filtration as discussed below, is the major limiting side effect of cisplatin, occurring in approximately 30% of patients (25-33% after the first course). Cisplatin also damages the kidneys' ability to reabsorb magnesium in 40-100% of patients, with collateral health risks due to subsequent hypomagnesemia.
