Abstract:
Internal jugular central venous line placement is a standardized and common clinical procedure. However, even the most skillful physician may face complications. Careful patient evaluation and detailed vascular anatomical knowledge can minimize the risk of iatrogenic injuries. Following a strict protocol in case of unsuccessful attempts of venous puncture helps to improve patient outcome. In this case report, we present a patient who suffered an unusual injury. Further, we discuss current treatment options for pseudoaneurysms.

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...
Depolarizing Blockers: Mechanism of Action
Succinylcholine is the most commonly used depolarizing blocker. Chemically, it constitutes two molecules of acetylcholine joined together by an acetate methyl group. They act on the receptors in the same way as acetylcholine. Because...

Chemical Synapses
Because chemical synapses depend on the release of neurotransmitter molecules from synaptic vesicles to pass on their signal, there is an approximately one millisecond delay between when the axon potential reaches the presynaptic terminal and when the neurotransmitter leads to opening of postsynaptic ion channels. Additionally, this signaling is...
