AI Article Synopsis
- Chronic mesenteric ischemia is characterized by involuntary weight loss, post-meal abdominal pain, and fear of eating due to inadequate blood flow.
- Occlusion or narrowing of the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries can lead to reliance on collateral blood supply, which in this case came from the right renal artery.
- The patient's symptoms were successfully alleviated by stenting the renal artery after an initial unsuccessful attempt to access the celiac and SMA through catheterization.
Article Abstract
The clinical syndrome of chronic mesenteric ischemia classically presents with a combination of involuntary weight loss, post prandial abdominal pain, and food fear. With occlusion or stenosis of the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries (SMA) collateral blood flow between mesenteric vessels is common and frequently act as the sole blood supply to the intestine. We present a rare case of chronic mesenteric ischemia in which the main blood supply to the celiac and SMA were collaterals coming off the right renal artery resulting in renal-splachnic steal. After an unsuccessful attempt to cannulate the SMA and celiac vessels it was possible to relieve this patient's symptoms with renal artery stenting.

Characteristics and prognostic values of abdominal aortic branches calcification in hemodialysis patients.
Ren Fail
December 2025
Institute of Nephrology, Zhong Da Hospital, Southeast University School of Medicine, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.
Background: Vascular calcification is highly prevalent and associated with mortality in hemodialysis patients. However, extreme splanchnic arterial calcification in calciphylaxis with poor prognosis raises questions regarding the reliability of previous vascular calcification scoring methods. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the distribution characteristics of abdominal aortic branch calcification and identify a more reliable predictor of mortality in hemodialysis patients.

Article Synopsis
- Sclerosing mesenteritis is a rare chronic condition that affects the mesenteric fat, involving inflammation and fibrosis without a clear cause, leading to variable symptoms, most commonly abdominal pain.
- Its diagnosis primarily relies on histological analysis, even though incidental findings have increased due to widespread CT imaging.
- The prognosis is generally good, but misdiagnosis is common, highlighting the need to consider it in cases of vague abdominal pain to prevent unnecessary treatments, though surgery might be required for severe cases like intestinal blockage.

BACKGROUND Terminal ileum (TI) anastomoses present challenges due to anatomical features and pressure from the ileocecal valve (ICV). The use of negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is commonly used to treat chronic skin ulcers. Its use for temporary abdominal closure following anastomosis is controversial but has shown promise in patients with inflammatory or vascular disease.

Paratuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by subspecies (MAP). Typically, ruminant animals including cattle, buffalo, goats, and sheep are infected with MAP. Animals get infected with MAP in a number of ways, such as by eating or drinking contaminated food or water, or by nursing from an infected mother who may have contaminated teats or directly shed the organism in milk or colostrum.
