Increase in the frequency of scurvy in children with food selectivity: A case series.

Scurvy is a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency. Although rare, in recent years, the number of scurvy cases in children with eating disorders has increased. Its manifestations are varied because vitamin C is a cofactor in numerous processes, such as collagen synthesis.

Covered stent assisted coil embolization of large Buhler aneurysm in setting of chronic celiac trunk occlusion.

Background: The arc of Bühler (AOB) is a residual embryonal anastomosis between the celiac artery (CA) and the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). Although usually asymptomatic, it has clinical relevance when compensatory reverse flow between the SMA and the CA in response to celiac artery obstruction leads to aneurysm formation and bleeding. Endovascular coiling is the mainstay therapy because of the deep AOB retropancreatic location, which hinders open surgery.

Reduced atmospheric levels of PM2.5 and decreased admissions and surgery for Ischemic stroke in Italy.

Spatio-temporal correlation between admissions for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms and levels of atmospheric pollution in Italy.

Aims: The aim of our study was to determine a correlation between rates and number of patients admitted with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA) in Italian regions with different levels of atmospheric pollution.

Methods: We analyzed a possible correlation between the number and rate (ruptured versus not ruptured) of patients with rAAA admitted in eight Italian regions with different levels of atmospheric pollution.

Results: Number and rates of patients with rAAA were statistically correlated with levels of air pollution and low air temperature (RR = 1.

Trends (2020-2022) toward Reduced Prevalence of Postcoronavirus Disease Syndrome and Improved Quality of Life for Hospitalized Coronavirus Disease 2019 Patients with Severe Infection and Venous Thromboembolism.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic seems to be at its end. During the first outbreak, alfa was the dominant variant, and in the two following years, delta was the dominant variant. Questions remain about the prevalence and severity of post-COVID syndrome (PCS).

Heterogeneous Characteristics of Patients with Inflammatory Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Systematic Review of Therapeutic Solutions.

Background: Endovascular repair of inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms (IAAAs) has emerged as an alternative to open surgery, but direct comparisons are limited. The aim of the study was to compare clinical outcomes of endovascular and open repair for IAAA according with specific clinical characteristics.

Methods: We performed a literature review of reports describing patients who had open or endovascular repair for IAAA.

Prevalence and Complications of Aberrant Subclavian Artery in Patients With Heritable and Nonheritable Arteriopathies.

Background: An aberrant subclavian artery (ASA) (or lusoria) is the most common congenital anomaly of the aortic arch (0.5%-2.2%; female-to-male ratio 2:1 to 3:1).

Sex-Related Differences and Factors Associated with Peri-Procedural and 1 Year Mortality in Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia Patients from the CLIMATE Italian Registry.

Background: Identifying sex-related differences/variables associated with 30 day/1 year mortality in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).

Methods: Multicenter/retrospective/observational study. A database was sent to all the Italian vascular surgeries to collect all the patients operated on for CLTI in 2019.
