Importance: Short sleep duration during pregnancy and the perimenopausal period has been associated with adverse cardiometabolic outcomes. However, it remains unclear how sleep duration changes after delivery and whether such changes are associated with the cardiometabolic health of birthing people.
Objective: To investigate whether persistently short sleep during pregnancy and after delivery is associated with incident hypertension and metabolic syndrome.

Background: Rotational vertebral artery occlusion, or bow hunter's syndrome (BHS), is a rare but clinically important cause of vertebrobasilar insufficiency. Extrinsic compression of the artery is usually caused by osteophytes, fibrous bands, or lateral disc herniation and typically occurs in the setting of anatomical variations, leading to dynamic compromise of the posterior circulation. Neoplastic causes of BHS are rare.

An 80-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with acute cerebellar infarction. Conventional magnetic resonance angiography and computed tomography angiography (CTA) showed occlusion of the right vertebral artery (VA). Carotid ultrasonography revealed that the right VA was narrowed at its entry point into the transverse foramen near C6.

Background: Vertebral artery (VA) stenosis can be caused by several factors, including arteriosclerosis, arterial dissection, and mechanical compression. Symptomatic vertebrobasilar insufficiency caused by VA stenosis due to mechanical compression associated with head rotation is well-known as Bow Hunter's syndrome. However, an accurate diagnosis of asymptomatic osteophyte compression-induced nonrotational VA stenosis is difficult.
