Article Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to determine whether the proximity of the median arcuate ligament (MAL) and the celiac artery (CA) changes in patients following surgery to correct adult spinal deformity (ASD). We hypothesized that the distance between the MAL and the CA shortens after corrective spinal surgery, which may cause acute celiac artery compression syndrome (ACACS).
Methods: A total of 89 patients (68.4±7.6 years; 7 men/82 women) with ASD treated with spinal correction surgery were included in the present retrospective study. The level of the MAL, CA, and distance between the MAL and the CA (DMC) were determined reconstructed computed tomography. MAL overlap was determined preoperatively and postoperatively.
Results: The MAL and CA moved caudally following surgery. On average, after surgery, no changes in DMC were observed. We found preoperative MAL overlap in 32 (36%) patients, who also had postoperative MAL overlap. No patients showed any MAL overlap postoperatively.
Conclusions: Contrary to our hypothesis, the distance between the MAL and the CA did not shorten, and emerging MAL overlap was not observed postoperatively.

Purpose Of Review: Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is understood to be a condition where compression of the celiac artery by the median arcuate ligament (MAL) may lead to symptoms of postprandial or exercise-induced abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, oral aversion, and weight loss. This review summarizes recent literature on pediatric MALS while highlighting the challenges, comorbidities, and controversies encountered in this condition.
Recent Findings: The pathophysiologic mechanism by which MALS leads to pain is currently unknown.

Age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of central vision loss in the elderly. Early hallmarks of the disease include basal laminar deposit beneath the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and choriocapillaris degeneration. We utilized sialic acid binding lectins Sambucus nigra/Elderberry Bark Lectin (EBL) and Maackia amurensis lectin II (MAL-II), to assess the localization of ɑ-2,6 and ɑ-2,3 sialic acids, respectively, in human macular retina, RPE, basal laminar deposits, and choroid.

Fever and inflammation of unknown origin (FUO/IUO) remain challenging clinical syndromes today, in which the internists play a central role in orchestrating the diagnostic process and interpreting key findings. FUO and IUO share similar diagnostic evaluations and overlapping etiologies, although the relative frequencies of their causes may differ. The established five-category classification includes infectious diseases (INF), non-infectious inflammatory diseases (NIID), malignancies (MAL), miscellaneous (MISC) and undiagnosed illnesses (UI).

The construct of narcissism can be conceptualized very differently depending on the psychological literature. The social-personality conceptualization of narcissism often emphasizes high self-esteem as well as a range of associated maladaptive and adaptive outcomes. The clinical literature focuses on the pathological aspects of narcissism and highlights maladaptive aspects that correspond to the relationship between narcissistic grandiosity and narcissistic vulnerability.

Purpose Of Review: Dizziness is a frequent neurologic symptom in patients with headache, which overlaps with many etiologies beyond vestibular migraine. This review aims to help neurologists distinguish when dizziness is due to vestibular migraine (VM) versus other vestibular syndromes.
Recent Findings: VM is now recognized as the most common cause of spontaneous episodic vertigo, with expanding diagnostic criteria, new pathophysiological insights involving CGRP, and emerging treatment strategies including anti-CGRP therapies.
