Aortic arch disease is one of the most complex and challenging field in cardiac surgery. The recent growing experience in endovascular procedures has allowed the surgeons to approach more complex cases with different strategies. We report herein a complicated Zone 0 Hybrid Arch Repair through a delayed Frozen Elephant Trunk with continuous perfusion of the brain and visceral organ and mild hypothermia avoiding circulatory arrest. This strategy, allowed using endovascular technologies, should be considered useful to reduce the operative risks.

Temperature fluctuations can negatively affect the quality of frozen shrimp. Research on novel cryoprotectants to replace traditional agents (phosphate, etc.) has become a hotspot.

Study Question: Are live birth rates (LBRs) per woman following flexible progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (fPPOS) treatment non-inferior to LBRs per woman following the conventional GnRH-antagonist protocol in expected suboptimal responders undergoing freeze-all cycles in assisted reproduction treatment?
Summary Answer: In women expected to have a suboptimal response, the 12-month likelihood of live birth with the fPPOS treatment did not achieve the non-inferiority criteria when compared to the standard GnRH antagonist protocol for IVF/ICSI treatment with a freeze-all strategy.
What Is Known Already: The standard PPOS protocol is effective for ovarian stimulation, where medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is conventionally administered in the early follicular phase for ovulatory suppression. Recent retrospective cohort studies on donor cycles have shown the potential to prevent premature ovulation and maintain oocyte yields by delaying the administration of MPA until the midcycle (referred to as fPPOS), similar to GnRH antagonist injections.

The locus coeruleus (LC) plays a vital role in cognitive function through norepinephrine release. Impaired LC neuronal health and function is linked to cognitive decline during ageing and Alzheimer's disease. This study investigates age-related alterations in olfactory detection and discrimination learning, along with its reversal, in Long-Evans rats, and examines the effects of atomoxetine (ATM), a norepinephrine uptake inhibitor, on these processes.

Introduction: Chronic shoulder pain caused by a rotator cuff tear is commonly treated with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery (ARCR). However, ARCR may be associated with moderate-to-severe postoperative pain, and poorly controlled pain can result in delayed functional recovery and the development of frozen shoulder. Terminal sensory articular nerve radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been shown to be clinically effective in patients with severe refractory shoulder pain from multiple etiologies.

Background: To reduce recurrence rates of inverted papilloma (IP), some have argued for the use of intraoperative frozen margins; results remain mixed and studies critically lack lengthy surveillance periods.
Objective: We aim to elucidate the impact of prolonged surveillance and intraoperative frozen margins on IP recurrence.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent resection of IP at a tertiary care center over a 10-year period from 2008 to 2018 followed by subsequent surveillance.
