Rapidly Fatal Internal Carotid Artery Mycotic Aneurysm Rupture in a Rheumatoid Patient Taking a TNF-α Inhibitor: Case Report and Literature Review
Conclusions Although fungal mycotic aneurysms of the ICA are rare, their incidence may increase with the expanded use of immunosuppressive medications. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis who take potent immunosuppression regimens may be prime candidates for mycotic aneurysms because they often have two favoring conditions: atherosclerosis and immunosuppression. These ICA aneurysms carry a high mortality rate, so early diagnosis and aggressive therapy, potentially by endovascular trapping/vessel occlusion coupled with long-term antifungal therapy, is essential.[...]Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Th...

Fixation of acetabular Fractures. a novel method of Pre-Operative Omega Plate contouring.
CONCLUSIONS Pre-operative contouring of an Omega plate based on a post-injury CT scan of the uninjured half of the pelvis is over 80% accurate or almost accurate. The multi-functional 3.5-mm pelvic plate Omega allows us to stabilise complicated fractures of the superior ramus of the pubic bone, anterior acetabular column or quadrilateral plate as well as fractures above the linea arcuata or uncomplicated fractures of the posterior column. The stabilisation of all fragments of the anterior column and quadrilateral plate is very firm and the Omega plate is resistant to fragment redisplacement. Also, it is its advantage that ...
