Interruption of the ascending aorta is an extremely rare anomaly defined by a point of interruption between the intrapericardial and extrapericardial aorta and can be explained by developmental errors proximal to the embryologic right aortic sac. Herein, we present a case of interruption of the ascending aorta and describe a successful biventricular surgical repair of this unique anomaly.

Gestational - age - specific reference intervals for blood pressure in normal pregnancy in a Southern Chinese population.

Objective: Physiological blood pressure changes in pregnancy are insufficiently defined. This paper describes the blood pressure changes across healthy pregnancies in a Southern Chinese population to present gestational - age - specific blood pressure ranges with smoothed centiles (3rd, 10th, 50th, 90th, and 97th).
Methods: Antenatal blood pressure measurements [median (interquartile range) 9 (8 - 10) per woman] were repeated in 17, 776 women from a Southern China population.
In surgery for acute type A aortic dissection, controlling bleeding from the posterior wall of the proximal anastomosis is particularly challenging. To address this, we use the "reversed turn-up technique." For the reinforcement of the proximal aortic stump, Teflon felt strips were placed inside and outside the suture line with 4-0 polypropylene continuous transverse mattress sutures, and BioGlue was applied to the false lumen.

Survival into adulthood in patients with an interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is exceedingly rare. A recent literature review found 25 reported cases of IAA in adults. We describe the first case of prolonged, occult, postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding as a major complication following IAA surgery.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the growth of biosimilars in China, focusing on trastuzumab, aiming to understand its national uptake and the influencing factors.
- Utilizing interrupted time series analysis and a latent class trajectory model, the research analyzes data from March 2018 to February 2023, revealing trends in biosimilar and originator consumption post-introduction of the first biosimilar.
- Findings indicate a moderate national biosimilar penetration of 27% by February 2023, with faster uptake in regions with specific socioeconomic characteristics, such as better insurance coverage and lower GDP per capita.

Article Synopsis
- Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to both immediate and ongoing damage, disrupting important pathways and causing various physical impairments, highlighting the need for effective treatments.
- The study investigates a combined approach using a Chitosan hydrogel to repair injury sites and dual neuromodulation to enhance motor function in a rat model of cervical SCI.
- Results show that this combined strategy promotes tissue remodeling and supports the growth of motor axons in the spinal cord, suggesting potential for improved recovery in SCI patients.
