Congenital Esophageal Stenosis

, 2016
Congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) is a rare entity with an estimated incidence of 1:25,000–50,000 live births. Three causes for CES have been described: tracheobronchial remnant, segmental fibromuscular hypertrophy, and membranous web.

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

Essential embryology for the Canadian pathologists’ assistant

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Pathologists' assistants (PAs) are pivotal in healthcare, conducting autopsies and examining tissues under a pathologist's guidance. Embryology knowledge is crucial for PAs to accurately assess anomalies and identify pathologies. Yet, it is often overlooked in academic PA training programs.

Esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula: A rare variant and cautionary tale

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2017
Esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) are relatively common congenital anomalies. Additional variants of these anomalies have been reported, including EA-TEF associated with congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) and a few

Drug‐coated balloons: From conventional designs to next‐generation innovations in vascular therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review traces the evolution of drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) from conventional designs to next‐generation platforms. We highlight innovations in balloon engineering, coating technologies, and therapeutic agents that enhance localized drug delivery while addressing challenges in efficiency, safety, and biocompatibility for vascular and emerging non ...

Superimposed Spontaneous Esophageal Perforation in Congenital Esophageal Stenosis

, 2004
Congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) is a very rare embryologic anomaly of tracheoesophageal development that requires lifelong management, usually with frequent esophageal dilations and dietary precautions. We present a patient with spontaneous thoracic

Esophageal caustic stenosis – difficulties of therapeutic management

Journal of Surgical Sciences, 2019
Esophageal stenosis is one of the most common sequels of caustic injury. After the ingestion, in the acute phase, the life support is sometimes critical, and the treatment varies from observation to esophagectomy.

Clinical Anatomy of the Left and Right Atrial Appendages in Humans: Comparative and Developmental Perspective

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human atrial chambers derive from distinct embryonic anlagens, the original embryonic atria gradually transforming into the so‐called auricles, or atrial appendages. This study quantifies macroscopic variations in pectinate muscle architecture in human atrial appendages and evaluates their visualization using clinical imaging modalities.
