Quantitative susceptibility mapping of the human carotid artery: Assessing sensitivity to elastin and collagen ex vivo

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 94, Issue 2, Page 771-784, August 2025.
Abstract Purpose The aim is to establish the relationship between carotid susceptibility and microstructural components in diseased carotid arteries. Methods Excised cadaveric carotid arteries (n = 5) were scanned using high‐resolution QSM at 7 Tesla. After ex vivo imaging, all samples were brought to histology and stained for elastin, collagen, cells,

Surgical Approaches to Pre‐Auricular Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinomas Extending to the Temporal Bone

Head &Neck, Volume 47, Issue 6, Page 1736-1748, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Standardized surgical approaches to advanced pre‐auricular cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC) are lacking. Methods Fifty–four patients who underwent lateral temporal bone resection (LTBR) for pre‐auricular cSCC were grouped into “Levels” of increasing disease spread.

Carotid Plaque‐Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles Mediate Atherosclerosis and Correlate With Plaque Vulnerability

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 6, June 2025.
We profiled the differences in miRNA expression of plaque‐derived small extracellular vesicles (psEVs) from stable and vulnerable plaques of patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (aCAS), and identified five plasma‐derived sEV miRNAs as potential biomarkers for diagnosing plaque vulnerability.

Association of a State‐Wide Alternative Payment Model for Rural Hospitals With Bypass for Elective Surgeries

Health Services Research, Volume 60, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to measure the changes in rural hospital bypass for 11 common elective surgeries following the implementation of the Pennsylvania Rural Health Model (PARHM), a global budget payment model. Study Setting and Design We leveraged a natural experiment arising from the phase‐in of PHARM in Pennsylvania.

Artesunate Inhibits Neointimal Hyperplasia by Promoting IRF4 Associated Macrophage Polarization

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 19, May 22, 2025.
This study shows that macrophage interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) improved arterial injury‐induced neointimal hyperplasia by promoting of M2 polarization via up‐regulating krüppel‐like factor 4 (KLF4) in rodent and nonhuman primate models. Notably, artesunate is identified as a potent inducer of IRF4 in macrophages, and proposed as a promising ...

Macrophage HM13/SPP Enhances Foamy Macrophage Formation and Atherogenesis

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 18, May 15, 2025.
Previous research suggests that AIP may prevent atherogenic foamy macrophage formation. This study reveals that AIP, via its chaperone interaction with AHR, inhibits p38‐c‐JUN‐mediated transactivation of HM13, which encodes the ERAD protease HM13/SPP. HM13/SPP promotes foamy macrophage formation in addition to atherogenesis and plaque foamy macrophage ...

Modeling Hemodynamic Effects of the Closure Procedure of Carotid Artery Endarterectomy

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, Volume 41, Issue 5, May 2025.
In this study, computational fluid dynamics and geometrical analysis are applied to two patients postcarotid artery endarterectomy (CEA), each closed with a different method. The patch patient who restenosed exhibited a nonphysiological hemodynamic environment, in contrast to the successful primary closure patient.

Utility of laryngeal electromyography for establishing prognosis and individualized treatment after laryngeal neuropathies

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 833-845, May 2025.
Abstract Laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) is a technique used to characterize neuropathic injuries to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and superior laryngeal nerve (SLN). The RLN and SLN innervate the laryngeal muscles to produce vocal fold (VF) motion and elongation, respectively. VF motion deficiencies can affect voice, swallowing, and breathing,
