Despite the current availability of flow diverter devices (FDD), problems remains regarding optimal endovascular treatment (EVT) for blood blister-like aneurysms (BBAs) of the internal carotid artery (ICA). To evaluate the safety and efficacy of EVT of BBAs in the ICA with a Willis covered stent. 20 consecutive patients (5 men and 15 women) with ruptured BBAs underwent EVT using a Willis covered stent in two institutions from March 2013 to March 2018. Clinical observations, angiographic characteristics, and procedural and follow-up outcomes were retrospectively evaluated. 20 consecutive patients (5 men and 15 women) with ruptured BBAs underwent EVT using a Willis covered stent in two institutions from March 2013 to March 2018. Clinical observations, angiographic characteristics, and procedural and follow-up outcomes were retrospectively evaluated. Our initial results demonstrate that reconstructive EVT using a Willis covered stent provides a viable approach to treat ICA BBAs. However, an expanded clinical evaluation and larger cohort are needed to confirm the results.

The complexities in the differential diagnosis of restless legs syndrome (Willis-Ekbom disease).

Introduction: We present a literature review on the clinical conundrums surrounding the differential diagnosis of restless legs syndrome (RLS, Willis-Ekbom disease), as well as conditions that can mimic RLS. An extensive literature search showed that secondary causes of RLS ranged from commonly recognized causes, such as iron deficiency anemia, to less widely noted causes, such as rheumatoid disorders and hypothyroidism. There is a controversial association with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and RLS, whereby RLS is proposed as a prodromal feature.

Knowledge about seafloor depth, or bathymetry, is crucial for various marine activities, including scientific research, offshore industry, safety of navigation, and ocean exploration. Mapping the central Arctic Ocean is challenging due to the presence of perennial sea ice, which limits data collection to icebreakers, submarines, and drifting ice stations. The International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean (IBCAO) was initiated in 1997 with the goal of updating the Arctic Ocean bathymetric portrayal.

Article Synopsis
- An isolated left vertebral artery (ILVA) is often affected by aortic arch pathologies, and preserving its blood flow during endovascular repair can be challenging, with no clear consensus on the best strategy.
- This case report details a successful endovascular procedure in a 72-year-old man with an ILVA, where a novel technique called antegrade needle-assisted fenestration was used to revascularize the artery without traditional surgical methods.
- The patient had a favorable outcome, with follow-up imaging showing a patent ILVA and good aortic remodeling, suggesting this technique could be a valuable option for similar cases.
Comparison of subjectively and objectively measured sleep-wake patterns among patients with primary brain tumors.
Neurooncol Pract

Department of Neurology, Division of Neuro-Oncology, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia, USA.
Article Synopsis
- This study compares sleep-wake patterns in patients with primary brain tumors using a subjective measure (Consensus Sleep Diary) and an objective measure (ActiGraph actigraphy) over 14 nights among 30 participants.
- While some sleep-wake time parameters showed equivalency in results, many sleep disruptions and general sleep quality showed significant differences and low correlation between the two methods.
- The researchers concluded that using both subjective and objective sleep measures gives a more accurate picture of sleep health in these patients.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most prevalent form of thyroid cancer, with a disease recurrence rate of around 20%. Lymphoid formations, which occur in nonlymphoid tissues during chronic inflammatory, infectious, and immune responses, have been linked with tumor suppression. Lymphoid aggregates potentially enhance the body's antitumor response, offering an avenue for attracting tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and fostering their coordination.
