A 65-year-old man with a history of bilateral trabeculectomy augmented with mitomycin C underwent surgery for a scleral rupture following trauma. The site of the rupture was a posterior extension of the scleral flap. Attempted closure of a ragged scleral wound was not possible without excessive distortion and induced astigmatism. Persistent hypotony due to over drainage was treated by patching the site with a donor pericardium graft, secured with 10-0 nylon sutures. Although the trabeculectomy became nonfunctional and further glaucoma surgery was eventually required, a good visual outcome was achieved due to early repair following trauma.

Unlabelled: is to assess protective capabilities of the polymer coating made of polyvinyl alcohol to prevent leukocyte adhesion to epoxy-treated bovine pericardium, which is used in production of bioprosthetic heart valves.
Materials And Methods: Fragments of unmodified (control) and modified with polyvinyl alcohol epoxy-treated bovine pericardium were incubated in the dedicated chambers connected to a pulsatile flow system (Ibidi GmbH, Germany). During 48 h incubation was conducted in whole donor plasma containing 310 of mononuclear fraction cells.

Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary valve replacement and right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) have seen advancements, particularly in right ventricular outflow tract technology since the first procedure in 1964.
- Valved homograft conduits (VHC) offer significant benefits, including better hemodynamics and less need for lifelong anticoagulation, making them ideal for these surgeries, although donor shortages have led to alternatives like polytetrafluoroethylene conduits.
- Emerging tissue engineering technologies aim to create patient-specific valved conduits using recipient cells, which could eliminate issues like immune rejection and the need for growth adjustments as children develop.

The surgical reconstruction of severe corneal ulcers is a common and crucial component of the clinical practice of veterinary ophthalmology. Numerous surgical techniques are used in dogs for corneal reconstruction, and these techniques may be categorized by the material used to repair the corneal lesion. The first part of the present review described procedures that utilize autogenous ocular tissues, homologous donor tissues, and heterologous donor tissues.

Background: A detailed understanding of the sympathetic innervation of coronary arteries is relevant to facilitate the development of novel treatment approaches.
Aims: This study aimed to quantitatively examine periarterial innervation in human epicardial coronary arteries.
Methods: Coronary arteries with adjacent epicardial adipose tissue were excised along the left main coronary artery (LMCA), left anterior descending artery (LAD), left circumflex artery (LCx), and right coronary artery (RCA) from 28 body donors and examined histologically.
Orthotopic heart transplantation in patient with situs inversus and pectus excavatum: a case report.

Background: Heart transplantation in patients with situs inversus is challenging, especially in terms of reconstruction of the systemic venous return. Several rerouting techniques have been presented but are associated with vulnerability to external compression, which might cause hemodynamic instability, especially in the presence of chest deformity. In this study, we report a rare case of successful heart transplantation in the presence of situs inversus and pectus excavatum.
