The authors propose two signs for detecting moderate (about 50% reduction of the arterial lumen) stenosis at the origin of the internal carotid (IC) using the Doppler technique: (1) the 'arch-pattern,' drawn on the systolic and diastolic blood flow velocity enveloping curve when slowly translating the probe from the common carotid (CC) to the end of the accessible part of the IC; (2) The 'proximo-distal carotidian ratio,' the latter being pathological if below 1. A large scale confrontation with angiography is still necessary to validate them.

Background: Jianwei Xiaoshi oral liquid (JWXS), a classical traditional prescription comprising various edible medicinal plants, has demonstrated significant efficacy in treating paediatric indigestion. It originates from Jianpi Pill, which is developed in the Ming Dynasty and nourishes the spleen and regulates gastrointestinal function. However, the specific molecular mechanisms involved remain unclear.

Carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) comprises 2-5% of cancer diagnoses worldwide, with a prevalence that has modestly declined with increased availability of advanced diagnostic tools such as next-generation sequencing (NGS). This case presentation illustrates the possibilities and gaps that remain with improving diagnostic capabilities in identifying and effectively treating CUP. This is the case of a rapidly enlarging right axillary mass without a primary tumour site and histological evaluation demonstrating a poorly differentiated neoplasm.

Purpose And Background: The trigeminal artery is a rare anatomical variant, representing an embryonic vestige of the anastomosis between the internal carotid artery and the posterior circulator system, that can be asymptomatic or could have vast clinical manifestations produced by insufficient flow or by vascular nervous conflicts. This study is an anatomical presentation of 3 trigeminal artery cases observed at Medimar Imagistic Services Constanta.
Methods: The 3 trigeminal artery cases were discovered on a 860 magnetic resonance angiographies (0.

Liquid biomarkers are essential in trauma cases and critical care and offer valuable insights into the extent of injury, prognostic predictions, and treatment guidance. They can help assess the severity of organ damage (OD), assist in treatment decisions and forecast patient outcomes. Notably, small extracellular vesicles, particularly those involved in splenic trauma, have been overlooked.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is a potentially fatal multisystemic inflammatory syndrome that is better understood in the pediatric population. Consequently, the diagnostic criteria for adults still derives from studies conducted in the pediatric population. Several genetic mutations and secondary causes, including infections, autoimmunity, and malignancy, have been reported as significant actors in this condition, especially in adults.
