Hemangiomas are congenital vascular disorders that occur primarily in the face and neck, extremely rare in the mesentery. Here, we report a rare small mesenteric mixed hemangioma. A 34-year-old woman was admitted to the gynecology department for an extended menstrual cycle. A cystic multi-atrial mass at the right anterior of uterus was observed by ultrasound examination, which was about 12.5 × 9.5 × 14.9 cm in size. The gynecologist mostly considered the possibility of the ovarian cyst. However, there was a huge multi-atrial cyst in the small intestine mesentery without the right ovarian cyst in the surgical exploration. The grape-like cystic mass about 15 cm in diameter adhered to the mesenteric root of the small intestine. The cyst was diagnosed as the mesenteric mixed hemangioma in the final histopathology.

Background Context: Elevation of mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) has been proposed to raise spinal cord blood flow (SCBF) after traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI). Current clinical guidelines for cervical TSCI suggest maintaining MAP 85-90 mmHg for 5-7 days using vasopressors, eg, noradrenaline. However, it remains unknown whether these interventions that promote an increased systemic MAP result in improved perfusion in the spinal cord.

Background: Trypanosoma rangeli is a haemoflagellate parasite that infects triatomine bugs and mammals in South and Central America. Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease, has a partially overlapping geographical distribution with T. rangeli, that leads to mixed human infections and cross-reactivity in immunodiagnosis.

Article Synopsis
  • A 4.5-year-old female spayed mixed breed dog presented with sudden vomiting and abdominal pain after a previous surgery for similar issues, which had no clear cause.
  • A CT scan indicated a mechanical obstruction in the small intestine, leading to further surgery.
  • Surgery revealed strangulation of the jejunum due to a rent from prior surgery, and removing the median ligament resolved the symptoms, highlighting the need to prevent such injuries during abdominal procedures.

Intra-abdominal heterotopic mesenteric ossification associated with intestinal volvulus in a sow (Sus scrofa domesticus).

J Comp Pathol

School of Veterinary Medicine and Science, University of Nottingham, Sutton Bonington Campus, College Road, Sutton Bonington, Leicestershire LE12 5RD, UK.

Article Synopsis
  • An adult female mixed breed sow was necropsied due to symptoms like lethargy and breathing difficulties.
  • Post-mortem examination revealed an intestinal volvulus caused by an unusual intra-abdominal bone-like growth termed intra-abdominal heterotopic mesenteric ossification (IHMO).
  • The study emphasizes the need for using CT and histopathology together for accurate diagnosis and suggests that further investigation could improve our understanding of this rare condition in animals.

Introduction: Non-typhoidal (NTS) is a major cause of gastroenteritis worldwide, often associated with meat consumption and meat processing. Research on NTS infection and circulating serovars in meat value chains in Uganda is limited. We aimed to establish NTS prevalence, antimicrobial resistance, and risk factors among slaughterhouse workers, and to identify potentially zoonotic serovars in the pork value chain.
