Article Abstract
The pathogenesis of spontaneous cervical artery dissection remains unknown. Infection-mediated damage of the arterial wall may be an important triggering mechanism. We describe a 21 year-old man with respiratory infection (bronchial pneumonia) which was diagnosed and treated with antibiotic few days prior to the right internal carotid artery dissection. The patient presented ischemic retinal and cerebral strokes. Based on literature review, we discuss the possibility of a causal link between infection and arterial dissection.

Impact of D3 lymph node dissection extent on postoperative bowel function and nutritional status in right-sided colon cancer: a prospective randomized controlled trial.
Int J Surg
September 2025
Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, Shandong, China.
Aim And Background: This study investigates the impact of D3 lymph node dissection extent on postoperative bowel function and nutritional status in patients undergoing radical surgery for right-sided colon cancer. Given that postoperative diarrhea can significantly affect the quality of life, we examined whether dissection boundaries influence these outcomes.
Methods: This was a prospective, randomized controlled trial conducted at a high-volume tertiary hospital.

Spontaneous arterial dissection regarding the superficial femoral artery (SFA) is known to be an uncommon finding, and this clinical entity, when noted bilaterally, is exceptionally rare. Diagnosis is typically achieved by imaging modalities such as angio-tomography (angio-CT) or arteriography. This case report involves a 78-year-old male patient with a history of hypertension (HTN), cardiovascular disease, and arrhythmias who presented with leg pain and aches.

Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Kansai Medical University, Shinmachi 2-5-1, Hirakata-city, Osaka, Japan.
Purpose: For submandibular gland resection, conventional surgery with the naked eye remains the standard. With its excellent automatic focus and high magnification, the ORBEYE 3D exoscope enables precise submandibular gland resection with less stress. Therefore, we aimed to examine the usefulness of the exoscope in submandibular gland resection.

Background: Umbilical arterial catheterisation is a common intervention performed in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) especially in extremely preterm and extremely low birth weight neonates. Rarely catheter fracture or breakage can occur, leaving behind part of the catheter in the aorta. A handful of cases have been reported in the literature, with the majority being managed surgically.

Background: Pediatric acute ischemic stroke is a rare yet severe condition with multifactorial etiology, often associated with vasculopathies. Endovascular intervention in children with focal cerebral arteriopathy is seldom reported.
Purpose: Our aim was to report feasibility of intracranial rescue stenting for the management of pediatric focal cerebral arteriopathy with flow-limiting stenosis.
