Introduction: Clinical practice guidelines have recommended an endovascular-first approach (ENDO) for the management of patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI), whereas an open mesenteric bypass (OMB) is proposed for subjects deemed to be poor ENDO candidates. However, the impact of a previous failed endovascular or open mesenteric reconstruction on a subsequent OMB is unknown.

Introduction Blood-based protein biomarkers have several properties which make them attractive adjuncts in the diagnosis, monitoring, and prognostication of multiple sclerosis (MS). Proteins are often abundant in serum/plasma, stable in solution, and are straightforward to quantify. Furthermore plasma is easier to obtain than cerebrospinal fluid or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, particularly if regular measurements are required for ongoing monitoring.

1 When the NAVSUP FLC Norfolk Navy Food Management Team (NFMT) boards a ship to provide training, the ship’s food service team might be surprised to find a Soldier as part of the training team. They quickly learn that the Soldier is a vital part of NFMT. The U.S. Army Medical Command’s (MEDCOM) Army Veterinary Services (AVS) supports NFMT with Army Veterinary Food Inspectors (VFIs). They, along with NFMT Sailors, conduct assist visits and training aboard ships and classroom training.

Dear EditorThis article provides an important overview of the cases for and against fortification of food with Folic acid. It accidentally also provides a wonderful new name for this vitamin: "Benign vitamin B". Presumably this was meant to read "Vitamin B9" but Artificial Intelligence voice recognition software tripped up. A nice new name nevertheless. Competing interests: No competing interests
