Article Abstract
Head and neck cancers represent an aggressive form of neoplastic diseases that warrant surgical resection, in order to achieve optimal outcomes. Moreover, the involvement of the carotid artery is associated with a dismal prognosis and radical tumor resection becomes challenging. The current case report presents a patient with locally metastatic neck carcinoma attached to the right carotid bifurcation, involving both the external and internal carotid arteries up to the distal segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA) at the level of the C1 vertebra. The patient underwent en bloc tumor and vessel resection. The carotid artery was reconstructed using an interposition graft from the common carotid artery to the ICA by means of an autologous saphenous vein graft. A vertical mandibular osteotomy was performed, in order to expose the distal ICA. The postoperative recovery was uneventful. The patient was under follow-up for six months, without any signs of recurrence.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Meşelik Campus, Büyükdere Neighborhood, Prof. Dr. Nabi Avcı Boulevard No:4, Odunpazarı, Eskişehir, 26040, Turkey.
Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of artificial intelligence-assisted segmentation methods in detecting carotid artery calcification (CAC) in panoramic radiographs and to compare the performance of different YOLO models: YOLOv5x-seg, YOLOv8x-seg, and YOLOv11x-seg. Additionally, the study aims to investigate the association between patient gender and the presence of CAC, as part of a broader epidemiological analysis.
Methods: In this study, 30,883 panoramic radiographs were scanned.
Systemic cardiovascular and carotid baroreflex support of arterial pressure during recovery from passive heat stress in young and older adults.

Department of Human Physiology, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon, USA.
We evaluated the systemic cardiovascular and carotid baroreflex support of arterial pressure during recovery from whole-body, passive heating in young and older adults. Supine mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac output (Q; acetylene washin), systemic vascular conductance (SVC), heart rate (HR), and stroke volume (SV) were evaluated in 16 young (8F, 18-29 years) and nine older (6F, 61-73 years) adults at normothermic baseline and for 60-min passive heating and 120-min normothermic recovery. Externally applied neck pressure was used to evaluate HR, brachial vascular conductance, and MAP responses to carotid baroreceptor unloading.

Center for Physical Activity Research, National Institutes of Biomedical Innovation, Health and Nutrition, Settsu, Japan.
This study investigated the association between parameters derived from bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS) and arterial stiffness, as measured using carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) pulse wave velocities. Data from 292 Japanese adults were analyzed. BIS was used to assess the phase angle (PhA), extracellular water to intracellular water ratio (ECW/ICW), and body cell mass-to-free fat mass ratio (BCM/FFM).

Objective: The current selection of patients for carotid revascularisation is mainly based on neurological symptoms and the degree of carotid artery stenosis. Individualised MRI based PRediction scOre using plaque Vulnerability for symptomatic carotid artEry disease patients (IMPROVE) can identify high risk patients who may benefit from carotid revascularisation, based on intraplaque haemorrhage, stenosis severity, cerebral symptoms, sex, and age. For use in clinical trials and eventual practice, the decision rule must be acceptable to clinicians.
