“…CAA has an estimated prevalence of less than 1 in 10 000 live births,4 with approximately 150 cases reported in the literature 5. The aetiology of CAA is uncertain, but the most commonly propagated theories involve the fourth primitive aortic arch, which normally gives rise to the aortic arch.…”

A 72-year-old man presented with epistaxis on two occasions requiring admission. Prior to performing a bilateral sphenopalatine artery ligation diathermy, anaesthetic concern was raised regarding what the patient described as a 'congenital aortic aneurysm', with an overlying scar secondary to explorative surgery as a child. The abnormality was a cervical aortic arch (CAA). CAA is a rare vascular anomaly, which most commonly manifests as a pulsatile neck mass. In this case, we discuss the differential diagnosis for a pulsatile neck mass and considerations to be made in the workup. We also highlight the importance of cardiovascular risk factor management in patients with CAA.

“…Cervical aortic arch (CAA) was first described by Reid in 1914 and approximately 150 cases have been reported in literature up to 2009 [1]. A rarer finding is CAA with aneurysm formation, which constitutes about 20% of all cases [2].…”

KEY WORDSaortic aneurysm, cervical aortic arch, echocardiographyNoninvasive echocardiography can have invaluable information prior to studies such as computed tomography or invasive angiography. A 23-year old man presented to our hospital with a chest x-ray showing widened upper mediastinum. Echocardiography demonstrated color flow jets in opposite directions, compatible with tortuous aneurysmal dilatation of the aortic arch at the cervical position. The 640-slice computed tomography later confirmed the developmental anomaly of cervical aortic arch. ª

“…Current efforts to establish a permanent presence on the moon and to pursue a human mission to Mars raise concerns for human safety and health during long‐duration space missions. Systematic changes induced by µG include a decline in mass and function of the musculoskeletal system, [ 1 ] cardiovascular deconditioning, [ 2 ] neurological deficits, [ 3 ] and immune system dysfunction. [ 4 ] To elucidate the underlying mechano‐sensing mechanisms contributing to altered function in spaceflight, research has traditionally focused on the use of human and animal models or monolayer cell cultures.…”

The growing interest in bioengineering in‐vivo‐like 3D functional tissues has led to novel approaches to the biomanufacturing process as well as expanded applications for these unique tissue constructs. Microgravity, as seen in spaceflight, is a unique environment that may be beneficial to the tissue‐engineering process but cannot be completely replicated on Earth. Additionally, the expense and practical challenges of conducting human and animal research in space make bioengineered microphysiological systems an attractive research model. In this review, published research that exploits real and simulated microgravity to improve the biomanufacturing of a wide range of tissue types as well as those studies that use microphysiological systems, such as organ/tissue chips and multicellular organoids, for modeling human diseases in space are summarized. This review discusses real and simulated microgravity platforms and applications in tissue‐engineered microphysiological systems across three topics: 1) application of microgravity to improve the biomanufacturing of tissue constructs, 2) use of tissue constructs fabricated in microgravity as models for human diseases on Earth, and 3) investigating the effects of microgravity on human tissues using biofabricated in vitro models. These current achievements represent important progress in understanding the physiological effects of microgravity and exploiting their advantages for tissue biomanufacturing.
