Article Synopsis
- Mesenteric ischemia has a high mortality rate (up to 50%) due to challenges in diagnosis, primarily because symptoms can be vague and non-specific.
- Multi-Detector CT Angiography (MDCTA) is the preferred diagnostic tool for identifying issues related to vascular abdominal problems, especially for detecting mesenteric bowel ischemia accurately.
- The paper aims to outline the best practices for CT Angiography protocols, explain the blood supply and ischemic patterns of the gastrointestinal tract, and detail CT findings necessary for diagnosing acute mesenteric ischemia.

Introduction: The purpose of this research is to assess the mean change in A1C associated with patients who declined a pharmacy-led diabetes management program and to evaluate effects of predictor variables on the odds of achieving improved A1C in these patients.
Study Design: Retrospective, single-center, single-group, cohort study.
Methods: Patients 18 years or older with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes (defined as A1C ≥ 9%) who declined pharmacy-led diabetes management services were included in the study.

Introduction: Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a non-thermal ablation technique recently used in pancreatic cancer. In our prospective study we evaluated safety, feasibility and efficacy of a neoadjuvant protocol based on CT-guided percutaneous IRE followed by chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC).
Methods: We performed CT-guided percutaneous IRE in 20 patients with LAPC, followed by a combination of gemcitabine (1000 mg/mq) and oxaliplatin (100 mg/mq) biweekly.
