The aneurysms of digestive arteries are a rare pathological entity, with a risk of rupture associated to a high mortality rate, often asymptomatic, then they are discovered incidentally during a exam for other diagnostic purposes. We report three cases of digestive aneurysms, one of celiac trunk, one of mesenteric artery on behçet disease, and one of splenic artery, which were treated surgically with success.

Experiences of Surgical Approach for Aortoduodenal Fistula Repairs in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Patients.
Yonsei Med J

Department of Surgery, Gangnam Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the characteristics and outcomes of patients with an aortoduodenal fistula (ADF) who underwent surgical treatment at a single institution.
Materials And Methods: The data of patients diagnosed with ADF at the Yonsei University Gangnam Severance Hospital, South Korea, between 2019 and 2022 were included. Primary repair and segmental resection of the duodenum with duodeno-jejunostomy were the two main methods used to repair ADF.

Kawasaki disease (KD), an acute systemic vasculitis that primarily affects children under 5 years of age, is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in this age group. Recent studies propose a novel perspective on KD's etiology, emphasizing the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, particularly the role of gut permeability. This review delves into how disruptions in gut barrier function trigger systemic inflammatory responses, exacerbate vascular inflammation, and contribute to coronary artery aneurysms.

Article Synopsis
- This study examined the effects of dicamba, a common pesticide, on carp fish, focusing on multiple hormone and immune system levels.
- Fish were exposed to two different concentrations of dicamba over 4 and 30 days, showcasing varied hormonal changes, including increased ACTH, cortisol, and TNF-α, along with decreased growth-related factors.
- Histopathological analyses revealed significant damage to gill and liver tissues, indicating that dicamba can cause notable stress and health issues in aquatic organisms.

Aims: Diabetes mellitus (DM) links the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Inverse to the enhanced expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), the development of aortic aneurysm is lower in diabetic population. We examined the hypothesis that DM-induced alteration of metal ion levels declines the activity of MMPs to decrease aortic aneurysm risk.

Introduction: Several studies investigated the implication of the gut microbiota (GM) in the formation and progression of aneurysms, suggesting a key role for GM metabolites in aneurysmal pathogenesis and prognosis.
Aim: This systematic review aims to collect key findings concerning the impact of gut bacterial compositions, GM-related metabolites, probiotics administration, and inflammatory markers in aneurysmal development and rupture.
Methods: A PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Web of Science database search was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews, targeting all studies assessing the GM's role in aneurysms till 2023.
