In recent decades, many new flavi-like viruses have been discovered predominantly in different invertebrates and, as was recently shown, some of them may cause disease in humans. The Jingmenvirus (JMV) group holds a special place among flaviviruses and flavi-like viruses because they have a segmented ssRNA(+) genome. We detected Alongshan virus (ALSV), which is a representative of the JMV group, in ten pools of adult ticks collected in two geographically-separated Russian regions. Three of the ten strains were isolated in the tick cell line IRE/CTVM19. One of the strains persisted in the IRE/CTVM19 cells without cytopathic effect for three years. Most ALSV virions purified from tick cells were spherical with a diameter of approximately 40.5 nm. In addition, we found smaller particles of approximately 13.1 nm in diameter. We obtained full genome sequences of all four segments of two of the isolated ALSV strains, and partial sequences of one segment from the third strain. Phylogenetic analysis on genome segment 2 of the JMV group clustered our novel strains with other ALSV strains. We found evidence for the existence of a novel upstream open reading frame in the glycoprotein-coding segment of ALSV and other members of the JMV group.

Article Synopsis
- Inappropriate therapy (IAT) is a significant issue associated with implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) therapy, particularly highlighted in early subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) studies which showed high rates of inappropriate shocks (IAS).
- The PRAETORIAN trial, an international study with 849 patients, found no major differences in IAT and IAS rates between S-ICD and transvenous ICD (TV-ICD) groups, as both groups had similar cumulative incidences.
- Key predictors for IAT varied between the two groups, with TV-ICD patients experiencing IAT mainly from supraventricular tachycardias, while S-ICD patients faced issues from cardiac oversensing

Article Synopsis
- The S-ICD was created to eliminate lead-related issues found in the TV-ICD, as it is an external device that sits under the skin rather than using leads inside the body.
- This analysis comes from the PRAETORIAN trial, where patients were randomly assigned to either S-ICD or TV-ICD and assessed for quality of life through various questionnaires at different stages.
- Results showed no significant differences in physical and mental well-being between the groups, but patients who experienced a shock recently reported lower social functioning and emotional health compared to those who did not.
Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of angioleiomyoma.

Article Synopsis
- Vascular leiomyoma, also known as angioleiomyoma, is a rare benign tumor primarily found in the extremities, often appearing as a painful subcutaneous lesion.
- This study reviewed 139 patients over 17 years, specifically examining 50 cases with imaging studies to better understand the tumor's clinical, pathological, and imaging characteristics.
- The findings revealed a distinctive ultrasonographic pattern, characterized by a well-defined, homogeneous, and highly vascularized tumor, suggesting that such features in a slow-growing subcutaneous tumor increase the likelihood of it being an angioleiomyoma.

Background And Objectives: Autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) and paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes (PNSs) encompass a heterogeneous group of antibody-associated disorders. Both the number of syndromes and commercially available antibody tests have increased considerably over the past decade. High-quality population-based data on epidemiology of these disorders and real-world performance of antibody tests are needed.

Several aspects of the management of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) are still a matter of debate, or not yet addressed in international guidelines. The objective of this expert consensus from the French Society of Vascular Medicine (SFMV) and the French Society of Cardiovascular Imaging (SFICV) was to define the main elements of diagnosis and treatment of this syndrome, and to develop a proposal for its preoperative, procedural and follow-up management. In this consensus, the following issues were addressed: clinical and ultrasound diagnosis; pre-procedural workup; indications and contraindications to venous recanalisation; procedures; clinical and duplex ultrasound reports; follow-up; long-term treatment; management of great saphenous vein incompetency; anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy after venous stenting.
