Mass-wasting of ocean island volcanoes is a well-documented phenomenon. Massive flank collapses may imply tens to hundreds of km and generate mega-tsunamis. However, the causal links between this large-scale, low-frequency instability, and the time-space evolution of magma storage, crystal fractionation/accumulation, lithospheric assimilation, and partial melting remains unclear. This paper aims at tracking time variations and links between lithospheric, crustal and surface processes before and after a major flank collapse (Monte Amarelo collapse ca. 70 ka) of Fogo volcano, Cape Verde Islands, by analysing the chemical composition (major, trace elements, and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopes) and age-controlled stratigraphy (K-Ar and Ar-Ar dating) of lavas along vertical sections (Bordeira caldera walls). The high-resolution sampling allows detecting original variations of composition at different time-scales: (1) a 60 kyrs-long period of increase of magma differentiation before the collapse; (2) a 10 kyrs-long episode of reorganization of magma storage and evacuation of residual magmas (enriched in incompatible elements) after the collapse; and (3) a delayed impact at the lithospheric scale ~ 50 kyrs after the collapse (increasing EM1-like materiel assimilation).

Spontaneous rupture of an ovarian artery aneurysm complicated by postpartum hypertensive disorders of pregnancy after caesarean section: a case report and literature review.
J Med Case Rep
November 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Occupational and Environmental Health, 1-1 Iseigaoka, Yahatanishi-ku, Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, 807-8555, Japan.
Background: The spontaneous rupture of an artery aneurysm during the perinatal period is considered a serious complication associated with the physiological alteration by pregnancy and delivery. The rupture of an ovarian artery aneurysm is rare and leads to rapid retroperitoneal hemorrhage. Here, we report one case complicated by postpartum hypertensive disorder of pregnancy associated with massive bleeding into retroperitoneal cavity by the spontaneous rupture of ovarian artery aneurysm after caesarean section, and reviewed previous literature.

Although rare, local anesthetic use has been associated with adverse central nervous system and cardiovascular adverse events. One complication is local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST), wherein the anesthetic agent inadvertently enters systemic circulation resulting in widespread inhibition of fast-gated sodium channels. Organs dependent on aerobic metabolism, such as the heart and brain, are especially susceptible to toxic injury resulting in cardiovascular collapse.

Department of General Surgery, Honjoudaiichi Hospital, Yurihonjou, JPN.
Article Synopsis
- Wunderlich syndrome is a rare condition that causes spontaneous kidney bleeding, typically marked by symptoms like severe abdominal pain and low blood volume shock, often linked to tumors or vascular issues.
- A case involving an 80-year-old woman highlights this syndrome's development from a kidney infection, leading to septic shock and a serious kidney hematoma.
- The report underscores the necessity of surgical treatment alongside antibiotics, especially for patients with health issues like diabetes that can complicate recovery.
The Use of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy to Manage a Knotted Ureteric Stent: A Case Report.
Cureus
September 2024
College of Medicine, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam, SAU.
This case report describes the successful management of a knotted ureteric stent in a 57-year-old male with diabetes mellitus, who presented with left flank pain and lower urinary tract symptoms after seven months of stent placement. Initial imaging revealed migration and encrustation of the stent, along with knotting at the proximal end. As rigid cystoscopy to attempt stent retrieval met resistance, a semirigid ureteroscope was used to laser transect the stent, allowing for the insertion of a new stent.

August 2024
Hospital Medicine, Miami Valley Hospital, Dayton, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a severe condition often triggered by a cytokine storm, which can lead to death, particularly in the presence of sepsis that masks early HLH signs.
- - A case study is presented where a patient showed persistent symptoms like high fever and confusion, ultimately being diagnosed with HLH after complications such as deep vein thrombus and renal failure despite treatments.
- - Despite aggressive treatment for HLH, including antineoplastics and corticosteroids due to associated T-cell lymphoma, the patient’s condition deteriorated, leading to shock and eventually cardiac arrest.
