Congenital aortic anomalies are uncommon causes of secondary hypertension and are seldom suspected in the adult age group. We present a case of aortic interruption unexpectedly diagnosed on autopsy in a 38-year-old male who presented with cardiovascular collapse. Apart from interruption, a finding unique to our case was aneurysmal dilation of the proximal descending aorta just before the obstruction with thrombosis. We also attempt to review the literature for interrupted aortic arch in adults and clarify the nomenclature of interruption versus coarctation.

Heterotopic submandibular gland with herniation through the mylohyoid boutonnière: a unique radiological case.
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
December 2024
Institute of Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital and University of Bern, Bern, 3010, Switzerland.
Purpose: To describe a rare case of heterotopic submandibular gland (SMG) tissue herniating through the mylohyoid boutonnière into the anterior submandibular space, diagnosed using imaging, and to provide insights into its clinical implications.
Methods: A 59-year-old male with a history of smoking and type 2 diabetes presented with new-onset hoarseness. Imaging, including contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), was performed.
Continuous intraocular pressure variations following positional transitions in normal subjects and open angle glaucoma patients using a contact lens sensor system.

State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Guangdong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Ocular Diseases, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, 510060, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of a novel contact lens sensor system (CLS) in detecting continuous intraocular pressure (IOP) variations following positional transitions, and to explore these IOP variation patterns among normal subjects, untreated glaucoma patients, and untreated ocular hypertension (OHT) subjects.
Methods: This prospective comparative study included 20 normal subjects, 14 high tension glaucoma (HTG) patients, 16 normal tension glaucoma (NTG) patients, and 14 OHT subjects. Participants wore the CLS for continuous IOP monitoring while undergoing sequential body position changes: from sitting to supine to a 10° head-down tilt (HDT), with each position maintained for ten minutes.
Two-step cluster analysis based on three-dimensional CT measurements of craniofacial structures in severe craniofacial microsomia.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to classify severe forms of craniofacial microsomia (CFM) by using 3D maxillofacial measurements to examine deformities in the zygomatic, temporal, and mandibular bones, as previous classifications lacked detailed information on temporomandibular joint deformities.
- - Researchers analyzed CT scans from 50 children with severe CFM, performing 3D measurements and using cluster analysis to categorize patients based on the continuity of the zygomatic arches and several other measurements.
- - Findings revealed two distinct clusters: one with continuous zygomatic arches and another with discontinuous arches, highlighting significant differences in specific measurements that may help in better treatment planning for patients needing prosthetic joints.
Surgical options in retrosternal oesophageal reconstruction.
Langenbecks Arch Surg
August 2024
Department of General, Visceral, Transplantation, Vascular, and Paediatric Surgery, University Hospital Wuerzburg, Wuerzburg, Germany.
Background: Retrosternal oesophageal reconstructions with collar anastomoses can become necessary when the stomach is either unavailable for oesophageal replacement, or orthotopic reconstruction is deemed impractical. Our aim was to analyse our results regarding technical approaches and outcomes.
Materials And Methods: All patients undergoing primary and secondary oesophageal retrosternal reconstructions with collar anastomoses at our centre (2019-2023) were retrospectively analysed and individual surgical reconstruction options were presented.
Complete genome sequence and phylogenetic analysis of a newly discovered fusagra-like virus infecting Carica papaya in Ecuador.

A new fusagra-like virus infecting papaya (Carica papaya L.) was genetically characterized. The genome of the virus, provisionally named "papaya sticky fruit-associated virus" (PSFaV), is a single molecule of double-stranded RNA, 9,199 nucleotides (nt) in length, containing two discontinuous open reading frames.
