Background: Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) has been implicated in cross-organ protection in cerebrovascular disease, including stroke. However, the lack of a consensus protocol and controversy over the clinical therapeutic outcomes of RIC suggest an inadequate mechanistic understanding of RIC. The current study identifies RIC-induced molecular and cellular events in the blood, which enhance long-term functional recovery in experimental cerebral ischemia.

Background: Elevated blood pressure (BP) prompts immediate emergency department (ED) visits instead of outpatient care, thus constituting a high-weight concern for the ED. This study investigated the short- and long-term outcomes of high BP patients in the ED.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), reviewing ED visits from January to December 2022.

A 75-year-old woman with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) presented with isolate ocular symptoms, including a left scleral hematoma, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein (CRP). Initial evaluation combined with isolated ocular symptoms raised concerns for giant cell arteritis rather than an SLE flare. Thus, prompt initiation of high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone (250 mg every six hours) was warranted.

This video explores the technique of robot-assisted pyeloplasty using the Da-Vinci Single-Port robot through the supine anterior retroperitoneal access in a 28-year-old male with a right-sided ureteropelvic junction obstruction. The patient was placed in a supine position, with a 10°-20° elevation of the ipsilateral flank. Retroperitoneal access was obtained at the McBurney's point for the placement of the port.

Patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction require rapid and decisive interventions to restore blood flow to the affected myocardium, minimizing ischemic damage. This case report is particularly unique because it involves a patient presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, where the culprit lesion was an occluded coronary artery graft with an extensive thrombus burden. The complexity of this case necessitated a strategic shift to revascularize the chronically occluded native vessel instead of the graft.
