Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nonselective bilateral embolization of the internal iliac arteries (IIAs) with n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) in hemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic fractures.
Material And Methods: Twelve patients underwent nonselective bilateral embolization of the IIAs using NBCA diluted with lipiodol at our institution between January 2004 and March 2014. We analyzed the time of bilateral occlusion of the IIAs, the time from admission to entrance into the interventional radiology room, the need for repeat embolization, outcomes, cause of death, follow-up period, and complications.
Results: The mean duration of bilateral occlusion of the IIAs was 17 min (range, 4-34 min), and the mean time from admission to entrance into the interventional radiology room was 89 min (range, 28-168 min). All patients underwent technically successful embolization. Repeat embolization was required after treatment in three patients. The mortality rate was 33.3%. Complications after embolization were suspected in one patient.
Conclusions: Nonselective bilateral embolization of IIAs with NBCA could be a choice of treatment for hemodynamically unstable patients with severe pelvic fracture hemorrhage.

Article Synopsis
- Previous research primarily focused on cognitive control in bilinguals but not on specific brain regions that process phonological information during language production.
- Using representational similarity analysis, the study examined phonological representations in both native and second languages within single and mixed-language contexts.
- Findings revealed that bilinguals show more brain activation and worse performance in mixed contexts, with dominant language (L1) phonological representations prominently found in language processing areas during L2 production, supporting the nonselective processing hypothesis.

Article Synopsis
- Catheter-based treatments are becoming important for both acute and chronic pulmonary blood clots, making it essential to understand the anatomy of pulmonary arterial branches.* -
- A study of 179 patients undergoing angiography showed a variety of branching patterns in the pulmonary arteries, with a total of 7 patterns in the right upper lobe, 3 in the right middle lobe, and so on across the left lobes.* -
- Notably, only 2-3 branching patterns per lobe were responsible for over 90% of the observed variations, offering valuable insights for medical professionals and future research in pulmonary interventions.*

Purpose: Cervicothoracic ventral-dorsal rhizotomy (VDR) is a potential treatment of medically refractory hypertonia in patients who are not candidates for intrathecal baclofen, particularly in cases of severe upper limb hypertonia with limited to no function. A longitudinal cohort was identified to highlight our institutional safety and efficacy using cervicothoracic VDR for the treatment of hypertonia.
Methods: Retrospective data analysis was performed for patients that underwent non-selective cervicothoracic VDR between 2022 and 2023.

Objective: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) often experience medically refractory hypertonia, for which there are surgical therapies including neuromodulation and rhizotomy. Traditional surgical treatment for medically refractory mixed hypertonia or dystonia includes intrathecal baclofen pumps and selective dorsal rhizotomy. A nonselective lumbosacral ventral-dorsal rhizotomy (VDR; ventral and dorsal roots lesioned by 80%-90%) has the potential to address the limitations of traditional surgical options.
