Objective: Long-term clinical outcomes including delayed rupture of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) after coil embolization (CE) remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the precise timing of re-treatment for recanalized UIAs before rupture.
Methods: From February 2012 to June 2020, a total of 197 patients with 207 UIAs underwent CE in our institution and were followed up for more than 6 months. The follow-up period, as well as morphological changes from treatment to recanalization, regrowth, and rupture, was retrospectively analyzed. Delayed rupture was defined as a rupture that occurred more than 1 month after CE.
Results: The average length of follow-up was 48.7 months. Three of 207 UIAs (1.45%) ruptured after CE. The aneurysm locations were the middle cerebral artery (MCA), anterior communicating artery (AcomA), and internal carotid artery-posterior communicating artery (ICA-Pcomm). The annual rupture rate after CE was 0.36%. Immediately after the first CE, treated aneurysms were graded according to the Modified Raymond-Roy Classification with class II for MCA aneurysms and class IIIb for AcomA and ICA-Pcomm aneurysms. The ICA-Pcomm aneurysm was treated with two additional CEs and was finally graded as class I. In all cases, DSA or MRA before aneurysm rupture showed recanalization and regrowth of aneurysms. The average periods from final embolization to regrowth and from regrowth to rupture were 54.3 months (±16.8) and 2.3 months (±0.9), respectively.
Conclusion: UIAs with recanalization and regrowth after CE should undergo re-treatment as early as possible.

Objectives: Optimal timing for intervention for abdominal aortic aneurysms remains unclear. Given the increased rupture risk with larger aneurysms, timely intervention is critical. This study sought to examine endovascular aortic aneurysm repairs (EVAR) delays across Canadian centers, focusing on potential differences related to geography, sex and race.

Background And Purpose: We explored the impact of various craniotomy approaches on the outcomes and long-term cognitive function of microsurgical clipping for superiorly projecting anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 127 superiorly projected ACoA aneurysms underwent microsurgical clipping between January 2014 and January 2022. Patients were categorized into two types: type 1 (70 patients), characterized by the posterior positioning of the ipsilateral A2 segment (open A2 plane side), and type 2 (57 patients), characterized by the anterior positioning of the ipsilateral A2 segment (closed A2 plane side).

This case series reports four late pregnancy broodmares that were diagnosed with bladder rupture. The initial presentations were abdominal discomfort (n = 3) and dystocia (n = 1). All mares (n = 4) were overdue or at their expected time of delivery.

Background: Neonatal sepsis remains one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality among neonates in developing countries. It can cause severe morbidities and sequelae, even though patients survive. Prolonged recovery time of neonatal sepsis leads to hospitalization, increased cost of treatments, antimicrobial resistance, disseminated intravascular coagulation, respiratory failure, septic shock, brain lesions, renal failure, and cardiovascular dysfunction, and eventually death.

(Pm) is a widespread zoonotic pathogen with the ability to infect wild animals, livestock, and humans. Pm infection can cause haemorrhagic pneumonia, indicating that the pathogenesis involves serious vascular injury and inflammation. 18β-Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) has cardiovascular protective and anti-inflammatory effects, but its effect on vascular injury caused by Pm infection is not clear.
