The purpose of this report is to describe, based on the experience with 50 patients, transcranial colour-coded duplex ultrasonography and to evaluate its practical potential in the routine examination in comparison with conventional transcranial Doppler ultrasonography. Under visual control, the Doppler angle between the ultrasonic beam and the flow direction can be adjusted. The mean angle of incidence in the middle cerebral artery was 33 degrees +/- 15 degrees, in the anterior cerebral artery 35 degrees +/- 17 degrees, in the posterior cerebral artery 45 degrees +/- 18 degrees and in the basilar artery 15 degrees +/- 14 degrees. The measurements of blood flow velocity under consideration of the angle of incidence resulted in 15%, 18%, 30% and 3% respectively higher velocity values. Examples of pathologic findings demonstrate the practical potential of this noninvasive method.

The relationship between different ventricular rate control levels and cardiac remodeling in early persistent atrial fibrillation: a prospective cohort study.
Front Cardiovasc Med
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China.
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia, with ventricular rate control being a critical therapeutic target. However, the optimal range for ventricular rate control remains unclear. Additionally, the relationship between different levels of ventricular rate control and cardiac remodeling in patients with atrial fibrillation remains unclear.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of the SaCo videolaryngeal mask airway (VLMA) in combination with a bronchial blocker in patients undergoing minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 120 patients who underwent minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery from January 2022 to December 2023. Patients were grouped based on their treatment methods: 68 patients who received the SaCo VLMA combined with a bronchial blocker intraoperatively were designated as the L group, while 52 patients who received a tracheal tube combined with a bronchial blocker intraoperatively were designated as the E group.
Adverse effect of Henle fiber layer hemorrhage due to retinal arterial macroaneurysm rupture on retinal sensitivity.

Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama, Japan.
Purpose: To investigate the effect of Henle fiber layer hemorrhage (HFLh) on retinal sensitivity (RS) before and after displacement of the submacular hemorrhage (SMH) caused by retinal arterial macroaneurysm (RAM) rupture.
Methods: This retrospective study included 31 eyes undergoing vitrectomy for SMH. Eyes were grouped based on the presence or absence of HFLh (HFLh [+/-] group).
Biomechanical and clinically controlled study of different fenestration positions in vascularized iliac bone flaps for treating femoral head necrosis.

Department of Joint and Trauma Surgery, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China.
Background: No appropriate studies have been conducted that compare the biomechanical properties of different fenestration positions in deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA)-vascularized iliac bone grafts for femoral head necrosis (ONFH) treatment. In this study, we aimed to explore the fenestration locations of DCIA-vascularized iliac grafting in ONFH treatment using FEA and clinical retrospective analysis.
Methods: We simulated an iliac bone flap transplantation with a vascularized tip by finite element analysis (FEA).
Leg Blood Flow During Exercise with Blood Flow Restriction: Evidence for and Implications of Compensatory Cardiovascular Mechanisms.

Proximal limb cuff inflation to 40% arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) is assumed to reduce exercising leg perfusion, creating "blood flow restriction" (BFR). However, no study has validated this assumption. 18 healthy young participants (9F) performed two-legged knee flexion/extension exercise at 25% WRpeak with bilateral cuffs applied to the proximal thigh at 0% AOP (CTL), 20% AOP and 40% AOP.
