Stroma is viewed as the supportive framework of a predominant epithelial organ, comprising mostly of connective tissue, blood vessels and nerves. Since the discovery of telocytes one decade ago (Popescu and Faussone-Pellegrini J Cell Mol Med 2010;14(4):729-40), their presence was proven in several exocrine gland stromata, including major and minor salivary glands, mammary glands as well as exocrine pancreas.Telocytes have been found in a close connection with acinar and ductal structures but also with their stromal neighbours - nerves, blood vessels or other connective elements, either cells or collagen fibres.The approaches used to reveal the telocytes' location were immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy.

Department of Vascular Surgery, AZ Sint Blasius, Dendermonde, Belgium.
Background: Due to the heterogeneity of literature findings, stent type selection for the endovascular treatment of complex aorto-iliac occlusive disease remains challenging. The BELSTREAM study, a physician-initiated, prospective, multicenter, single-arm study, aims to report the safety and efficacy of the balloon expandable LifeStream Peripheral Stent Graft System (BD, Tempe, Arizona, USA) for the treatment of complex TASC C and D aorto-iliac artery lesions.
Methods: Seventy patients and 133 lesions were included at six Belgian institutions.

Department of Paediatrics, College of Medicine, University of Nigeria Ituku/Ozalla and University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Ituku/Ozalla, Enugu, Enugu State, Nigeria.
Background: Children with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) usually present with right heart abnormalities, however much is not known if these children presents with left ventricular dysfunction.
Objectives: This article is aimed to ascertain the left ventricular function of children with TOF compared with those without any congenital heart disease. It also elicits the correlation if any, between left ventricular mass and descending aorta blood flow.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels. Yoga is a low-cost, easily accessible lifestyle modification program that holds as an approach to decreasing cardiometabolic risk factors and increasing exercise self-efficacy among high-risk subjects. This study aimed to assess the impact of the yogic lifestyle (including diet) on cardiovascular risk scores by using the Framingham (FRS), QRISK3 score, and World Health Organization (WHO) CVD risk prediction charts at baseline, three months, and six months.

Objective: Detecting and measuring changes in longitudinal fundus imaging is key to monitoring disease progression in chronic ophthalmic diseases, such as glaucoma and macular degeneration. Clinicians assess changes in disease status by either independently reviewing or manually juxtaposing longitudinally acquired color fundus photos (CFPs). Distinguishing variations in image acquisition due to camera orientation, zoom, and exposure from true disease-related changes can be challenging.

Millions of patients and their caretakers live and deal with the devastating consequences of spinal cord injury (SCI) worldwide. Despite outstanding advances in the field to both understand and tackle these pathologies, a cure for SCI patients, with their peculiar characteristics, is still a mirage. One of the most promising therapeutic strategies to date for these patients involves the use of epidural electrical stimulation.
