Pathology of Diptheria

A poster showcasing the disease diphtheria and detailing the mechanism of action of the A/B toxin responsible for the illness. The left side presents an overview of diphtheria, while the right side illustrates how the A/B toxin interacts with cells, disrupting ribosomes and leading to cell death.

Neobladder Creation

Neobladder Creation

This series of four slides illustrates the creation of a neobladder using the da Vinci robotic system, typically performed for bladder cancer. The procedure involves removing the bladder and, in male patients, the prostate, then creating a new bladder from a section of the small intestine. The main steps—suturing the posterior and anterior plates, ureter implantation, and the completed neobladder—are depicted for use in a video abstract.

Venous Bridge Syndromes

Venous Bridge Syndromes

This illustration showcases the venous drainage pathways from the left side of the body as they cross the midline to the superior and inferior vena cava, highlighting Nutcracker Syndrome and May-Thurner Syndrome, both resulting from venous compression. It also introduces the less commonly described Left Brachiocephalic Syndrome, caused by compression of the left brachiocephalic vein between the aortic arch and sternum, leading to venous congestion.
