Article Abstract

Objective: To simulate the surgical approaches for intracranial aneurysms using three-dimensional CT angiography (3D-CTA) and assess the value of 3D-CTA in early microneurosurgery for ruptured intracranial aneurysms.

Methods: Forty-eight patients with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured intracranial aneurysm were confirmed by early operation. All the patients were classified according to Hunt-Hess, including 11 of grade I, 29 of grade II, and 8 of grade III. CTA was performed before the operation and surgical simulation was conducted. The preoperative findings on CTA and the intraoperative findings were compared and the clinical value of cerebral 3D-CTA was analyzed.

Results: Pre-operative 3D-CTA clearly displayed the location, size and shape of the aneurysms, the axis direction of the aneurysm apex and the width of aneurysm neck. The spatial relation between the parent aneutysm artery, the aneurysm, the peripheral vessels and the bony structures were also demonstrated. These findings were basically consistent with the intraoperative findings. The Glasgow outcome score was 5 in 41 patients, 4 in 4 patients, 3 in 2 patients, and 2 in 1 patient upon discharge from the hospital.

Conclusions: Preoperative 3D-CTA examination can simulate the surgery for ruptured aneurysms to help improve the surgical success rate.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality; patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at particularly high risk, highlighting the need for reliable biomarkers for early detection and risk stratification. We investigated whether combining the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) improves CHD detection in T2DM. In this retrospective cohort of 943 T2DM patients undergoing coronary angiography, associations of SHR and SIRI with CHD were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic splines; robustness was examined with subgroup and sensitivity analyses.

Background: In Canada, the Indigenous population is the youngest and fastest growing, yet ongoing health disparities for Indigenous peoples are widely recognized. There is a concerning lack of research on childhood disabilities and health conditions in Indigenous populations in Canada. For children with disabilities and chronic health conditions, ongoing access to rehabilitation services, such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, and audiology, is critical in promoting positive health and developmental outcomes.

Background: Circumcision is a widely practiced procedure with cultural and medical significance. However, certain penile abnormalities-such as hypospadias or webbed penis-may contraindicate the procedure and require specialized care. In low-resource settings, limited access to pediatric urologists often leads to missed or delayed diagnoses.

Background: In recent years, social media has emerged as a pivotal tool in implementation science efforts to address the HIV epidemic. Engaging community partners is essential to ensure the successful and equitable implementation of social media strategies. There is a notable lack of scholarship addressing the operational considerations for studies using social media strategies in community-partnered HIV research.

Background: Congenital accessory auricle is a common aurcile malformation, often associated with tragus malformation, impacting the appearance and psychology of patients. To optimize surgical treatments for congenital accessory auricle with tragus malformation, this article proposes a novel classification and explores surgical strategies.

Methods: This retrospective study included 120 patients with congenital accessory auricle and tragus malformation who underwent surgery between December 2019 and June 2024.
