Introduction: The Authors report their experience in the management of acute lower limb ischemia following percutaneous arterial closure device application.
Patient And Methods: Five patients required an emergency vascular operations for acute lower limb ischemia. The symptoms onset was < 1 hour in 1 case, 4-12 hours in 2 cases and > 24-36 hours in 2 cases. A preoperative angiography was performed in all the cases. A transfemoral embolectomy was carried out. Direct suture repair were performed in three cases, vein patch angioplasty was carried out in two cases. In one case, a common femoral artery endarterectomy was performed.
Results: No post-operative mortality and limb loss occurred.
Conclusions: Acute lower limb ischemia due to closure devices required an extensive approach with reconstruction in high risk septic area. Angiography is mandatory for surgical strategies. We prefer direct suture repair and vein path angioplasty for vascular reconstruction.

Purpose: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) could contribute to the specific atherosclerosis profile observed in premature coronary artery disease (pCAD) characterized by accelerated plaque burden (calcified and non-calcified), high risk plaque features (HRP) and ischemic recurrence. Our aims were to describe EAT volume and density in pCAD compared to asymptomatic individuals matched on CV risk factors and to study their relationship with coronary plaque severity extension and vulnerability.
Materials And Methods: 208 patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) were analyzed.

Introduction: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a severe inflammatory disease of the pancreas that could trigger a systemic inflammation and multi-organ dysfunction. Stigmasterol, a natural plant sterol found in various herbs and vegetables, exhibits a significant anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cholesterol-lowering effects. However, its therapeutic potential in AP have not been thoroughly investigated.

Background: A resting cortisol concentration (RC) higher than 2.0 μg/dL (55 nmol/L) is commonly used to rule out hypoadrenocorticism (HA). However, there is a significant overlap of RC between dogs with HA and those with other diseases.

Objectives: Testicular torsion, a condition requiring urgent intervention, can occur at any age and present with diverse symptoms. To the best of our knowledge, no study has evaluated the characteristics of testicular torsion in childhood, a less common age group. This study showed differences in patients' characteristics between childhood and adolescence and the variation across ages.
