We report a rare case of Stanford type A acute aortic dissection associated with a distal aortic arch atherosclerotic aneurysm. A 71-year-old female was referred to us with the diagnosis of thrombosed Stanford type A acute aortic dissection, however on the next day transesophageal echocardiography revealed the false lumen has been recanalized. In the operation, there was a distal aortic arch atherosclerotic aneurysm which was unidentified at the preoperation. It is very rare that the dissection originated from atherosclerotic aneurysm and proceeded to proximal and distal portion of the aorta.

In the analysis of spatially resolved transcriptomics data, detecting spatially variable genes (SVGs) is crucial. Numerous computational methods exist, but varying SVG definitions and methodologies lead to incomparable results. We review 34 state-of-the-art methods, classifying SVGs into three categories: overall, cell-type-specific, and spatial-domain-marker SVGs.

Background: Acute Stanford Type A aortic dissection (AAD-type A) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) present with similar symptoms but require distinct treatments. Efficient differentiation is critical due to limited access to radiological equipment in many primary healthcare. This study develops a multimodal deep learning model integrating electrocardiogram (ECG) signals and laboratory indicators to enhance diagnostic accuracy for AAD-type A and AMI.

Expanded Uses of the Dorsal Nasal Flap: Redefining the Nasal Reconstruction Algorithm.

Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open

January 2025

From the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, Burlington, MA.

Background: Defects of the nose present complex reconstructive challenges to the plastic surgeon. We present our experience with using the dorsal nasal flap (DNF) to provide a durable reconstruction even in sizable defects that would otherwise be considered necessitating a paramedian forehead flap.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent reconstruction by DNF following resection of skin cancers on the nose.

Natural aging is associated with mild memory loss and cognitive decline, and age is the greatest risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. There is substantial evidence that oxidative stress is a major contributor to both natural aging and neurodegenerative disease, and coincidently, levels of redox active metals such as Fe and Cu are known to be elevated later in life. Recently, a pronounced age-related increase in Cu content has been reported to occur in mice and rats around a vital regulatory brain region, the subventricular zone of lateral ventricles.
