Objective: Coronary artery, aortic valve, and descending aorta calcification (CAC, AVC, DAC) are manifestations of atherosclerosis, and cardiac epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) indicates heart adiposity. This study explored the association between cardiac adipose tissue and cardiovascular calcification in participants with long-standing T1D.
Methods: EAT and intra-thoracic adipose tissue (IAT) were measured in 100 T1D subjects with cardiac computed tomography (CT) scans in the EDIC study.

This peculiarity poses clinical and radiological challenges for surgeons throughout their careers, particularly during laparoscopic or open procedures.

Sarcoidosis is a systemic disorder characterized by the aberrant development of granulomatous inflammation within various organs in the body. In over 90% of cases, sarcoidosis typically manifests initially in the intra-thoracic region, characterized by pulmonary involvement or mediastinal lymphadenopathy. It is rare for sarcoidosis to manifest exclusively as extra-thoracic involvement and even more rarely for hypercalcemia to be the only initial sign.

Article Synopsis
- Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis is a rare condition that can be challenging to diagnose early, which is essential for effective treatment.
- A 75-year-old male presented with acute lower limb ischemia, revealing complications related to prior anticoagulation treatment for a pulmonary embolism, and was later found to have a malignant lung tumor.
- The diagnosis of non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis was supported by the patient's clinical history, imaging results, and the presence of thrombosis without signs of infection, leading to a favorable outcome with surgical intervention and further oncology care.
