It is important to be aware of neuropathy involving the suprascapular nerve. While direct trauma to the suprascapular nerve is the usual cause (direct blow to the base of the neck or posterior shoulder, shoulder dislocation or fracture), the problem may result from overuse injuries (such as repetitive tennis serving or spiking of a volley ball), excessive horizontal adduction, weight lifting, b...

A 64-year-old woman with a history of coronary artery bypass and coronary angioplasty with unexpanded stent entrapment blocked in the circumflex coronary artery and left main is now presenting with crescendo angina pectoris. The Department of Cardiovascular Surgery established that a new surgical intervention presents a very high risk. In this condition, we decide for elective percutaneous coro...

Progerin, a mutated lamin A, causes the severe premature-aging syndrome Hutchinson-Gilford progeria (HGPS). Kubben et al. present a driving mechanism for HGPS involving trapping of NRF2 at the nuclear periphery by progerin. This local restriction results in impaired NRF2 signaling and chronic oxidative stress.

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is a rare but potentially limb threatening peripheral vascular disease occurring predominantly in young adults. We report a case of a 17-year-old boy who presented with intermittent claudication on the right side. Digital subtraction angiography revealed bilateral, focal narrowing of the popliteal arteries. Magnetic resonance imaging displayed compression of...

Our anatomic findings have led us to define conflictual relations that may be encountered in their course by the pudendal n. and its branches. Starting from the clinical study of a group of patients suffering from chronic perineal pain in the seated position, we have defined, beginning with the cadaver, three possible conflictual settings: in the constriction between the sacrotuberal and sacros...

ntrapment of the radial nerve, specifically the deep branch of the radial nerve (DBRN) in the arcade of Frohse, was first described in 1963.1 Prolonged entrapment may lead to a constellation of symptoms described in posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) paralysis.2 Reported attempts at diagnosis using imaging have mostly involved magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with a limited number of studies c...
