The Lviv Military Medical Centre is the main hospital responsible for the management of wounded military personnel in Western Ukraine. Since the full-scale invasion of our country in 2022, we have had to rapidly adapt our department to managing a large influx of complex facial battle injuries. These wounds are generally from large explosive fragments such as from shells and commonly produce avulsive defects of the facial bones and overlying soft tissues. Using representative cases, we aim to discuss management of these extensive injuries and guide the future direction of our service, particularly in surgical training such as microvascular anastomosis.

Objective: Aim: To determine the effect of cell therapy on the intensity of lipid peroxidation processes in the liver, kidneys and lungs of rats of different ages under conditions of experimental cranio-skeletal trauma (CST).
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: In the experiments, 129 white male Wistar line rats of different age groups were used: immature rats aged 100-120 days and weighing 90-110 g; mature rats aged 6-8 months and weighing 180-200 g; and old rats aged 19-23 months and weighing 300-320 g. In each age group, CST was modeled under thiopental sodium anesthesia.

Successful management of mycotic anastomotic pseudoaneurysm of interposition vein graft following a carotid endarterectomy: a case report.
J Med Case Rep

Department of Vascular Surgery and Transplantology, Lviv Regional Clinical Hospital, Chernigivska st 7, Lviv, 79010, Ukraine.
Article Synopsis
- Anastomotic pseudoaneurysms of interposition vein grafts are rare but serious complications in vascular surgery, particularly concerning the carotid arteries, requiring urgent intervention to avoid critical issues like rupture and thromboembolism.
- A case report details a 49-year-old male who developed a false aneurysm after a carotid surgery complication and successfully underwent open surgical repair involving the removal of the affected graft and reconstruction using a vein graft from the subclavian artery.
- The conclusion emphasizes that while endovascular techniques exist, open surgical repair remains the standard treatment for these pseudoaneurysms due to its ability to effectively address infection and ensure better long-term outcomes, suggesting that further research should continue to refine surgical strategies.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the MedEvac program, which transferred Ukrainian cancer patients to EU hospitals during the 2022 Russian invasion, highlighting the urgent need for specialized cancer care in conflict zones.
- Out of 639 applications, 339 were analyzed, revealing that 82.9% of those had enough data for the analysis, and a significant majority were evacuated for systemic cancer therapy, with newly diagnosed patients being the most common.
- The findings emphasize that a good performance status greatly increased the chances of evacuation, suggesting the MedEvac program could serve as a model for handling medical crises in war-torn regions, requiring ongoing assessment for effectiveness.
