Aim: One of the parameters that is measurable using bioelectrical impedance is the phase angle (PhA), which is an indicator of skeletal muscle quality. The PhA reflects cellular health and nutritional status and is an important parameter for monitoring recovery after stroke. However, the factors affecting skeletal muscle quality remain unclear.

- * An 87-year-old woman with pancreatitis experienced significant abdominal pain, and tests showed high amylase levels and severe anemia, leading to a CT scan that identified a pseudoaneurysm in her dorsal pancreatic artery.
- * Due to her age and the high risks associated with surgery, the medical team opted for a less invasive endovascular procedure, successfully embolizing the pseudoaneurysm, which was confirmed to have resolved in a follow-up CT scan a week later.
Eruptive calcified nodules (CNs) are a manifestation of severely calcified plaques, which exist in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), non-ACS lesions. Optical coherence tomography is crucial for diagnosing and treating eruptive CNs in clinical practice. Management of eruptive CNs is still a challenge for interventional cardiologists.
