Background: Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) are two endovascular intervention methods for circulatory support. The aim of this study was to compare the hemodynamic effects of simultaneous mechanical chest compressions (MCC) with IABP, REBOA and those with only MCC (overall and detailed in the MCC cycle) and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in experimental non-traumatic cardiac arrests (CA).
Method: CA was electrically induced (ventricular fibrillation) in 24 anesthetized pigs, which then were randomized to MCC synchronized IABP (n = 8), total occluded REBOA (n = 8), or control (n = 8).

Background: Handheld neck massagers pose a risk for thromboembolic stroke, a topic that has not been thoroughly explored in the literature.
Case Description And Literature Review: We present a case of acute ischemic stroke in a 79-year-old male patient who experienced left upper extremity weakness after using a handheld neck massager. Imaging revealed a ruptured stenotic atherosclerotic plaque at the right internal carotid artery bulb and acute infarcts in the right middle cerebral artery vascular territory.

Introduction And Importance: Massage is a form of health care, but incorrect techniques can potentially harm the human body (Qin et al., 2023 [1]). While there have been no reported cases of lateral thoracic artery pseudoaneurysm and rupture induced by axillary massage, it is important to further explore how to address and prevent such potential risks.
