Interventional oncology in children: Where are we now?

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
Abstract Paediatric Interventional Oncology (IO) lags behind adult IO due to a scarcity of specific outcome data. The suboptimal way to evolve this field is relying heavily on adult experiences. The distinct tumour types prevalent in children, such as extracranial germ cell tumours, sarcomas, and neuroblastoma, differ strongly from those found in ...

Iron and Other Metal Ions in Human Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Iron, copper, zinc, and calcium orchestrate cellular function through distinct yet cooperative mechanisms: redox‐active iron and copper cycle between oxidation states to act as Fenton catalysts and electron carriers in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS); redox‐inert zinc serves as a structural component of zinc‐finger proteins and a catalytic cofactor ...

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2023
Background The median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is a rare disease caused by compression of the celiac artery (ORPHA: 293208). Surgical treatment of MALS aims to restore normal celiac blood flow by laparoscopic celiac artery decompression. However,

Exercise and Autonomic Cardiovascular Function—Insights From Spinal Cord‐Injured Humans: A Narrative Review

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The cardiovascular response to acute exercise is mediated by the autonomic nervous system (ANS) control mechanisms that modulate vascular resistance to support blood pressure and ensure adequate blood flow to active muscles. These autonomic neurocirculatory control mechanisms include a feedforward mechanism, known as central command, and three

Intestinal Malrotation With Chronic Midgut Volvulus, Chylous Ascites, and Severe Malnutrition in an Adolescent: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In adolescents, chronic midgut volvulus can present insidiously over years with postprandial pain and progressive malnutrition, occasionally with chylous ascites from sustained mesenteric lymphatic obstruction. Prompt surgical correction can produce marked nutritional recovery, supporting secondary rather than primary lymphatic obstruction as ...

Retroperitoneal endoscopic release in the management of celiac artery compression syndrome [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2009
Celiac artery compression syndrome (CACS) can be treated successfully by division of the median arcuate ligament and celiac plexus fibers. The standard technique is the open approach by an upper midline or left subcostal incision. Only six single cases in which a laparoscopic transabdominal approach for CACS was used have been reported.
