The causes frequently ascribed to coarctation of the abdominal aorta include atherosclerosis, trauma, inflammatory aortitis, and extrinsic compression. We present a case of coarctation of the abdominal aorta with stenosis of the left renal artery due to fibrodysplasia in a 35-year-old woman, hospitalized for treatment of intermittent claudication and hypertension. This coarctation was resected and end-to-end anastomosis with reimplantation of the left renal artery was performed. Results of an anatomopathologic examination of the resected aortic specimen and the trunk of the left renal artery revealed typical lesions of fibromuscular dysplasia. The specific features of lesions in this case were compared with those from the literature.

: The role of surgery in pancreatic metastases of renal cell carcinoma (PM_RCC) is highly controversial, particularly in the context of modern systemic therapies and the conflicting results of studies published so far. This study aims to explore a single surgical center experience (including mainly pancreatic resections) regarding the indications, the type of pancreatectomies, and early and long-term outcomes for PM_RCC. : The data of all patients with surgery for PM_RCC (from 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2023) were retrospectively assessed, and potential predictors of survival were explored.

Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a process in which impaired perfusion is restored by restoring blood flow and tissue recirculation. Nanomedicine uses cutting-edge technologies that emerge from interdisciplinary influences. In the literature, there are very few in vivo and in vitro studies on how cerium oxide (CeO) affects systemic anti-inflammatory response and inflammation.

: Extracellular volume (ECV) analysis using computed tomography is recognized as a potential method for diagnostic application. It is currently the only noninvasive method for quantitatively evaluating myocardial fibrosis in dialysis patients for whom gadolinium contrast agents are contraindicated. In this study, we assessed the utility of ECV measurement via CT in the left ventricular (LV) myocardium (LVM) to predict major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in dialysis patients.

: Kidney cancer accounts for approximately 2% of all diagnosed cancers and fatalities worldwide, and a notable increase in its incidence has been observed in recent years. Previous studies have identified various risk factors for renal cell carcinoma (RCC), including age, gender, smoking, hypertension, overweight, and obesity. However, limited information is available regarding the correlation between RCC risk factors and tumor lateralization.
