Objective: This report presents a case of mechanical thrombectomy for left internal carotid artery (ICA) terminal portion occlusion performed by left common carotid artery recanalization during hospitalization after diagnosing bilateral common carotid artery occlusion due to Takayasu arteritis.
Case Presentation: A 25-year-old woman with fever and cervix pain a few months ago visited our department after repeated transient aphasic attacks. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated diffuse infarction in the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) area, and she was diagnosed with Takayasu arteritis due to bilateral common carotid artery occlusion and left subclavian artery stenosis. On the 20th day of hospitalization, the terminal portion of the left ICA was occluded and thrombectomy was performed after balloon dilation of the left common carotid artery. Lastly, left common carotid artery stenting was performed. Aphasia and sensory disturbance remained, but she was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital with a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 2 on the 65th day of hospitalization. Antithrombotic and immunosuppressive therapy were performed, and restenosis did not develop.
Conclusion: Angioplasty and stenting of common carotid artery occlusion can be effective treatments in thrombectomy for intracranial occlusion due to Takayasu disease.

Introduction: The core objective of this study was to precisely locate metastatic lymph nodes, identify potential areas in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients that may not require radiotherapy, and propose a hypothesis for reduced target volume radiotherapy on the basis of these findings. Ultimately, we reassessed the differences in dosimetry of organs at risk (OARs) between reduced target volume (reduced CTV2) radiotherapy and standard radiotherapy.

Purpose: Pituitary adenomas, despite their histologically benign nature, can severely impact patients' quality of life due to hormone hypersecretion. Invasion of the medial wall of the cavernous sinus (MWCS) by these tumors complicates surgical outcomes, lowering biochemical remission rates and increasing recurrence. This study aims to share our institutional experience with the selective resection of the MWCS in endoscopic pituitary surgery.

Background: Arterial diseases like coronary artery disease, carotid stenosis, peripheral artery disease, and abdominal aortic aneurysm have high morbidity and mortality, making them key research areas. Their multifactorial nature complicates patient treatment and prevention. Biomarkers offer insights into the biochemical and molecular processes, while social factors also significantly impact patients' health and quality of life.

Non-invasive estimation of pressure differences using 2D synthetic aperture ultrasound imaging offers a precise, low-cost, and risk-free diagnostic tool. Unlike invasive techniques, this preserves natural blood flow and avoids the limitations of devices that occupy lumen space. This paper evaluates a previously published estimator, modified to incorporate Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) echo-cancellation, using data from ten healthy volunteers and one patient.
