“…True aneurysm has been caused by arteriosclerotic, congenital, and metabolic disorders [8,9], and can be associated with diseases such as Kawasaki's syndrome, Buerger's disease, Kaposi's sarcoma, and cystic adventitial disease [11][12][13][14][15][16]. Th e diff erential diagnosis includes ganglion or synovial cyst, abscess, neural tumors, muscular fi broma, and Reynaud's disease [1].…”

“…Th e current higher prevalence of pseudoaneurysms is attributed to the recurrence of invasive procedures for diagnosis and treatment [8]. Cardiac catheterizations performed for congenital heart diseases, arterial and venous punctures for the evaluation of blood gases, and invasive arterial monitorization are all potential causes of pseudoaneurysms.…”

“…Peripheral artery aneurysms located at the brachial artery level, generally lead to thromboembolic complications of the hand and fi ngers [7]. Combined preoperative evaluation was performed by interdisciplinary team consisted of surgeons and radiologist concluded that it was diffi cult to quantify risk, for the endovascular procedure, because no specifi c preoperative risk stratifi cation model is available to date for this pathology [8]. In the following case report, the diagnosis and surgical treatment of idiopathic and isolated true brachial artery aneurysm, which are rarely encountered in the older age group, has been presented in concert with the knowledge of literature.…”

True upper extremity peripheral artery aneurysms are a rarely encountered arterial disorder. Following computer-tomography angiographic (CT-a) imaging examination, true saccular aneurysm, originating from the left brachial artery was diagnosed in the 77-year-old female without history of trauma. The aneurysm was resected by surgical intervention, and primary repair of the brachial artery was performed by interposition of a part of great saphenous vein harvested from the left groin and creation of two end-to-end anastomoses between interposition graft and previously resected part of brachial artery. No complication was observed during the follow-up. Surgical intervention for upper extremity aneurysms should be initiated without delay. Factors combined with minimal morbidity associated with repair suggest that surgical repair should be performed routinely for true upper extremity arterial aneurysms.

Diverse mechanisms evolved by DNA viruses to inhibit early host defenses

In mammalian cells, early defenses against infection by pathogens are mounted through a complex network of signaling pathways shepherded by immune-modulatory pattern-recognition receptors. As obligate parasites, the survival of viruses is dependent upon the evolutionary acquisition of mechanisms that tactfully dismantle and subvert the cellular intrinsic and innate immune responses. Here, we review the diverse mechanisms by which viruses that accommodate DNA genomes are able to circumvent activation of cellular immunity. We start by discussing viral manipulation of host defense protein levels by either transcriptional regulation or protein degradation. We next review viral strategies used to repurpose or inhibit these cellular immune factors by molecular hijacking or by regulating their post-translational modification status. Additionally, we explore the infection-induced temporal modulation of apoptosis to facilitate viral replication and spread. Lastly, the co-evolution of viruses with their hosts is highlighted by the acquisition of elegant mechanisms for suppressing host defenses via viral mimicry of host factors. In closing, we present a perspective on how characterizing these viral evasion tactics both broadens the understanding of virus-host interactions and reveals essential functions of the immune system at the molecular level. This knowledge is critical in understanding the sources of viral pathogenesis, as well as for the design of antiviral therapeutics and autoimmunity treatments.

A systematic review was conducted of all published cases of endovascular repair of retrograde Stanford type A dissection or intramural hematoma to determine mortality of this less invasive approach to treatment. Using the PRISMA guidelines, databases were searched for any of the terms 'dissect$', 'IMH', ('aortic ADJ wall'), 'intramur$', 'intra-mur$' in combination with any of 'stent$', 'perc$', 'endo$', 'TEVAR' in combination with any of ('type ADJ A'), 'ascend$' and 'retro$.' The search retrieved 3131 titles, 280 abstracts, and 108 papers. Of 23 relevant papers selected, mortality data could be extracted from 11 studies, representing 60 patients. Overall in-hospital mortality was 1.8% (95% CI 1.2% to 2.4%). Additional all-cause mortality during follow-up was 5.4% (95% CI 3.5% to 7.2%). The placement of an endoluminal device in the descending thoracic aorta to treat a DeBakey IIId/retrograde type A aortic dissection or intramural hematoma may be a safer procedure in the short to medium term than open surgical replacement of the ascending aorta (with or without the arch). Open surgical repair in these patients may therefore be unjustified.
