Systemic capillary leak syndrome is characterized by recurrent hypovolemic shock attributable to increased systemic capillary leakage. A 26-year-old woman was admitted because of recurrent episodes of hypovolemic shock. Hemoconcentration, hypoalbuminemia, and monoclonal gammopathy were observed. We diagnosed systemic capillary leak syndrome. Three years later, she again had an attack of systemic capillary leak syndrome complicated with pretibial compartment syndrome. This case emphasizes the importance of muscle compartment pressure monitoring during volume resuscitation in patients with systemic capillary leak syndrome.

Systemic sclerosis-associated Raynaud phenomenon (SSc-RP) confers poor outcomes, including ulceration, gangrene, autoamputation, and hand disability. Prostaglandin analogues (PG) are a group of prostacyclin-derived drugs with properties that may address underlying complex mechanisms of SSc-RP. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of PGs in SSc-RP.

Microneedle patches for topical administration of photodynamic therapy (PDT) sensitizers are attractive owing to their safety, selectivity, and noninvasiveness. However, low-efficiency photosensitizer delivery coupled with the limitations of the hypoxic tumor microenvironment remains challenging. To overcome these issues, we developed an effective microneedle patch based on intermolecular electrostatic interactions within a photosensitizer matrix containing a zinc-containing porphyrin analogue, .

A 60-year-old man with a significant 20-year history of smoking, averaging approximately 20 cigarettes per day, presented with type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension. Over the preceding three months, the patient reported recurrent episodes of acrocyanosis and erythema of the hands that were primarily induced by cold exposure. A capillaroscopy conducted in November 2024 revealed a "scleroderma-like pattern" that was characterized by enlarged capillaries, megacapillaries, and a capillary density of fewer than eight capillaries per millimeter.

Background: Acute type A aortic dissection (A-AAD) with severe acute aortic regurgitation (AR) and coronary involvement is a potentially fatal condition that causes left ventricular volume overload and catastrophic acute myocardial infarction. We present the successful management of a patient using Impella 5.5 following cardiopulmonary arrest caused by A-AAD with severe acute AR and left main trunk (LMT) obstruction.

Background: Hemorrhagic shock (HS) corresponds to absolute hypovolemia creating an imbalance between oxygen supply and consumption. This causes an impaired hemostasis, a systemic inflammatory response, and microvascular permeability which can lead to multiple organ failure (MOF). There is no specific treatment for the endothelial dysfunction that plays a major role in the evolution towards MOF.
