Aortic rupture in the presence of aneurysmal disease is well understood and extensively described in the literature. However, aortic rupture in a non-aneurysmal aorta is far less common. In the few reported cases, perforations are believed to result from a penetrating atheromatous ulcer of the aorta. We describe a rare case of non-aneurysmal aortic rupture in a 68-year-old man with Marfan syndrome and a history of proximal aortic surgery. The urgent need for hemorrhage control precluded any consideration of an endovascular repair.

Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder with an estimated prevalence of 1/5000 births. Clinical manifestation and disease progress can vary among individuals affected therefore serial follow-up examinations are mandatory in order to prevent serious complications.We report a case of giant proximal aorta aneurysm with associated aortic dissection in a young patient with Marfan syndrome who neglected medical advice to undergo periodic medical evaluation.Given the fact that clinical manifestations may differ among patients making prediction of disease progression very difficult, the patient with Marfan syndrome should be carefully monitored.

Objectives Marfan syndrome patients are at risk for aortic degeneration. Repair is traditionally performed with open surgery as this is deemed more durable. Endovascular aneurysm repair remains controversial. We report on the outcomes of Marfan syndrome patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms undergoing endovascular aneurysm repair. Methods The Vascular Quality Initiative registry identified 35,889 patients, including 29 with Marfan syndrome, treated with endovascular aneurysm repair from January 2003 to December 2017. Outcomes were analyzed per the Society for Vascular Surgery reporting standards. Results Median age was 70.0 years (IQR, 57.0–75.0), and 22 (75.9%) were male. Median aneurysm diameter was 5.3 cm (IQR, 4.9–6.3 cm), with an aortic neck length and diameter of 2.0 cm (IQR, 1.6–2.8 cm) and 2.5 cm (IQR, 2.2–2.8 cm), respectively. Twenty-one (72.4%) patients were asymptomatic, seven (24.1%) symptomatic, and one (3.4%) presented with rupture. Ten (34.5%) patients had prior a...

-- Signified by unique ficus leaf grapheme, Sign 327 of Indus Script -- Unique Squirrel grapheme, Sign 51 of Indus Script, signifies guild-master Thus, Sign 327 and Sign 51 signify the key Meluhha artificers of Bronze Age C-61. Text Script 6232. Chanhudaro. Sign 254 is composed of three horizontal linear strokes circumscribed by two vertical linear strokes-dula 'two' rebus: dul 'metalcasting' + koḍa 'one' rebus: koḍ 'workshop'; thus, metalcasting workshop. Three horizontal strokes is Sign 241 which signifies 'mint'. Thus, the Sign 254 is read as a composition of 'mint with metalcasting workshop'. Sign 327. Ligatured ficus leaf: loa 'ficus glomerata' rebus: loh 'copper' + *kāra 'ear'. [Connexion with kárṇa-is not clear] Wg. kār 'ear' (← Kho. kār) (CDIAL 3056) rebus: kāru 'artificer' + Sign 241. ṭankasala 'mint'. Thus, copper artificer mint.

This study reassesses an inscribed victory catalogue from Sinope (IK Sinope 105) that is often discussed in scholarship concerning agonistic culture in the Roman world. One particularly curious element of this inscription is the empty nature of the penultimate line, which bears only the numerals rho-nu. In the existing scholarship, this is usually interpreted as the sum of all the athlete’s victories. This paper challenges the orthodox interpretation, using a combination of David French’s squeezes housed at the British Institute at Ankara, supported by autopsy and recent photographs of the stone itself. It goes on to reconsider the practice of summing athletic victories in honorific inscriptions more generally, examining a specially compiled dossier of 207 inscriptions of comparable date to IK Sinope 105, and concluding that the practice was relatively rare. Finally, this paper considers other possible interpretations of the rho-nu in IK Sinope 105, among which is the suggestion that rho-nu could be a chronographic feature. While the interpretation of the rho-nu in IK Sinope 105 remains open, the combination of a close analysis of the stone with a wider contextual consideration of the genre demonstrates how much more remains to be said about even a well-known and often cited inscription.
