Anatomical variations of the circumflex femoral arteries: a systematic review and meta-analysis of their prevalence and new classification of risk for surgical management.

BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION The femoral circumflex arteries (FCAs), arising from the femoral and profunda femoris arterial system, exhibit substantial anatomical variability and are clinically relevant due to their role in supplying the femoral head and proximal thigh musculature. These variations may affect surgical,...

Comparative Metabolic Effects of Glibenclamide in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Background: Glibenclamide remains widely used for glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but its comparative metabolic effects across glycemic, lipid, anthropometric, and cardiometabolic outcomes remain uncertain. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) co...

A Facet-Associated Cyst with Aneurysmal Bone Cyst Morphology Causing T10–T11 Compressive Myelopathy Mimicking Cauda Equina Syndrome in an Octogenarian

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are benign, locally aggressive osseous lesions that predominantly affect children and young adults; ABC morphology in a facet-associated cystic lesion in an octogenarian is highly unusual and may overlap radiologically with a degenerative facet or synovial cyst. An 81-year-old woman present...

Mapping the lingual artery: a scoping review and proposed imaging-informed risk classification for surgical and radiological practice

The lingual artery (LA) shows significant morphological and topographical variation that can affect the safety and results of head and neck surgeries, carotid interventions, and free flap reconstructions. Traditional descriptions such as the thyrolingual trunk (TLT), linguofacial trunk (LFT), and thyrolinguofacial trun...
