Article Abstract
Management of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) is determined by patient age, risk of rupture, and comorbid conditions. While endovascular and microsurgical interventions offer solutions to mitigate the risk of rupture, pharmacological management strategies may complement these approaches or serve as alternatives in appropriate cases. The pathophysiology of IAs allows for the targeting of inflammation to prevent the development and rupture of IAs. The aim of this review is to provide an updated summary of different pharmaceutical management strategies for IAs. Acetylsalicylic acid and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitor antihypertensives have some evidence supporting their protective effect. Studies of selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors, statins, ADP inhibitors, and other metabolism-affecting drugs have demonstrated inconclusive findings regarding their association with aneurysm growth or rupture. In this manuscript, we highlight the evidence supporting each drug's effectiveness.

Ferroptosis is a regulated, non-apoptotic form of cell death marked by the accumulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxides. This process causes rapid rupture of the plasma membrane and the release of intracellular contents. Ferroptosis acts as an intrinsic tumor-suppressive mechanism.

Dural tears are a well-known complication of spinal surgery. While most occur intraoperatively and are promptly identified, some are overlooked or develop postoperatively. Delayed-onset dural tears are relatively rare but can result in significant neurological complications, including cauda equina syndrome (CES).

A 74-year-old man who had received Bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy for bladder cancer developed vasovagal syncope. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed multiple pseudoaneurysms in the left internal carotid artery, aorta, and right common femoral artery, which were considered to be infected aneurysms. Parent artery occlusion was planned for the left internal carotid artery, but the balloon occlusion test was not possible because of the patient's restlessness; therefore, the patient was treated with a Viabahn stent graft.

Introduction: Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a serious complication that can occur after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA). Prompt recognition and appropriate management are crucial to improve patient outcomes.
Case Presentation: An octogenarian with an 11-cm rAAA underwent emergent EVAR due to cardiovascular instability.

When cells in a primary tumor work together to invade into nearby tissue, this can lead to cell dissociations-cancer cells breaking off from the invading front-leading to metastasis. What controls the dissociation of cells and whether they break off singly or in small groups? Can this be determined by cell-cell adhesion or chemotactic cues given to cells? We develop a physical model for this question, based on experiments that mimic aspects of cancer cell invasion using microfluidic devices with microchannels of different widths. Experimentally, most dissociation events ("ruptures") involve single cells breaking off, but we observe some ruptures of large groups (~20 cells) in wider channels.
