As the treatment of superficial venous insufficiency transitioned from the hospital to the office setting, a remarkable increase in provider interest developed. However, the novelty of the disease process and procedural opportunities are tempered by the challenges associated with knowledge acquisition, skill development, strategic planning, and program development. Only a unique recipe of clinical growth, technical acumen, management skill, operational efficiency, and financial sense lead to program success. Despite the variety of skills required, treating superficial venous insufficiency is obtainable for both the formally and non-formally trained physicians with sufficient commitment, education, and resources.

Blood sampling is often performed during animal studies. This is more challenging in mice than in larger animal species owing to their size and lack of blood vessel visibility. Guidelines for blood sampling in mice and papers on animal welfare often refer to the submandibular, cheek, buccal, and anterior facial veins.

: This study aimed to compare two surgical techniques-the free flap of the superficial palmar branch of the radial artery (SPBRA) and the free venous flap (FVF)-to evaluate their efficacy and aesthetic outcomes in repairing finger tissue defects. The goal was to determine which procedure offers faster healing curves and better overall patient outcomes, ultimately improving the quality of life for individuals undergoing these surgeries. : A retrospective study was conducted using the clinical database of Sanliurfa Mehmet Akif Inan Education and Research Hospital, University of Health Sciences, from 1 January 2019 to 1 January 2022.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a highly successful orthopedic procedure increasingly performed on younger, obese patients due to its ability to improve functional outcomes and quality of life. However, obesity presents challenges related to implant selection and long-term outcomes, particularly with the use of short femoral stems. While short stems offer benefits such as bone preservation and reduced stress shielding, their reliability in obese patients remains underreported.

Phlebolith is a term that refers to round-shaped calcified thrombi commonly located in the pelvic region. The occurrence of dense, linear calcifications or phlebolith-like formations within the soft tissues of the lower extremities, particularly in the superficial femoral, greater saphenous, or popliteal veins, is rare. This study presents the case of a 73-year-old woman who was being evaluated for postmenopausal bleeding.

Electrolyte imbalance management is crucial in diverse clinical scenarios, with intravenous potassium repletion often required. High-concentration infusions can pose severe complications if extravasation occurs, leading to phlebitis, local tissue damage, or in severe cases, cutaneous necrosis. This risk is elevated in geriatric patients due to factors like reduced tissue elasticity and sensitivity.
