Acute Type A Aortic Dissection Causing Collapse of Previous Stent Graft
1Division of Cardiovascular Surgery, Severance Cardiovascular Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Yonsei University Health System, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Abstract:
A 69-year-old man presented to the emergency department with back pain and paraplegia. Computed tomography showed acute type A aortic dissection with a primary tear right below the origin of the left subclavian artery. He had undergone endovascular aneurysm repair 13 months earlier, and the previously inserted endovascular graft had totally collapsed. Total arch replacement covering the primary entry tear was performed. Femoral pulse was undetected before the operation but was monitored postsurgically after cardiopulmonary bypass was weaned. The patient was discharged from the hospital on foot without an additional intervention.

Aortic Regurgitation I: Introduction
Acute Pharyngitis
Acute pharyngitis is the inflammation of the back of the throat (pharynx), commonly resulting in a sore throat. It is a frequently encountered condition that prompts individuals to seek medical advice.
Classification
Acute pharyngitis can be categorized based on its underlying cause:
Types of RNA
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
