AI Article Synopsis
- - COVID-19 can lead to various blood clotting issues that increase health risks and can be life-threatening.
- - A rare case of intestinal ischemia resulting from a thrombus was reported in a patient with COVID-19, who initially showed symptoms like fever, malaise, and diarrhea.
- - The patient's condition worsened due to severe blood clotting in the superior mesenteric artery, highlighting a serious complication linked to COVID-19.
Article Abstract
COVID-19-associated arterial and venous thrombotic events are multifactorial in origin, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Intestinal ischemia due to thrombus is a rare manifestation of COVID infection. Here, we report the case of a patient who presented with fever, malaise, and diarrhea, and was found to be COVID-19 positive; his clinical course was further complicated by devastating thrombosis of the superior mesentery artery (SMA) associated with COVID-19 infection.

Zinc pretreatment for protection against intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury.
World J Gastrointest Surg

State Key Laboratory of Organ Failure Research, Department of General Surgery, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Precision Medicine for Gastrointestinal Tumor, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou 510515, Guangdong Province, China.
Background: Intestinal ischemiareperfusion (I/R) injury (II/RI) is a critical condition that results in oxidative stress, inflammation, and damage to multiple organs. Zinc, an essential trace element, offers protective benefits in several tissues during I/R injury, but its effects on intestinal II/RI remain unclear.
Aim: To investigate the effects of zinc pretreatment on II/RI and associated multiorgan damage.
The Natural History of Portal Venous System Aneurysms.

Division of Vascular Surgery, UPMC, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Department of Surgery, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Electronic address:
Background: Portal venous system aneurysms (PVA) are increasingly diagnosed on cross-sectional computed tomography (CT) imaging. However, the natural history of these aneurysms is poorly understood and reports are limited to small case series.
Methods: Terms relevant to PVA were searched in radiology reports (2010-2022) with PVA presence confirmed by manual review.
Intestinal oxygen utilisation and cellular adaptation during intestinal ischaemia-reperfusion injury.
Clin Transl Med

The gastrointestinal tract can be deranged by ailments including sepsis, trauma and haemorrhage. Ischaemic injury provokes a common constellation of microscopic and macroscopic changes that, together with the paradoxical exacerbation of cellular dysfunction and death following restoration of blood flow, are collectively known as ischaemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Although much of the gastrointestinal tract is normally hypoxemic, intestinal IRI results when there is inadequate oxygen availability due to poor supply (pathological hypoxia) or abnormal tissue oxygen use and metabolism (dysoxia).

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating disease observed in premature infants, characterized by intestinal ischemia and inflammation. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), a master regulator of the cellular response to hypoxia and ischemia, plays a critical role in NEC pathogenesis. However, the precise mechanisms by which HIF-1α influences the intestines in NEC remain poorly understood.

Organ transplantation is a vital intervention for end-stage organ failure; however, ischemia-reperfusion injury is a complication of transplantation, affecting the prognosis and survival of transplant recipients. As a complex ecosystem, recent research has highlighted the role of the intestinal microecology in transplantation, revealing its significant interplay with ischemia-reperfusion injury. This review explores the interaction between ischemia-reperfusion injury and intestinal microecology, with a special focus on how ischemia-reperfusion injury affects intestinal microecology and how these microecological changes contribute to complications after organ transplantation, such as infection and rejection.
