• IE is rarely associated with multisystem vasculitis. • A high index of suspicion is required to ensure proper treatment of IE. • Mistaking IE for vasculitis and treating with immunosuppressives can be fatal.

Article Synopsis
- Platelets, through their glycoprotein VI (GP VI) receptor, significantly influence the development and progression of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), a dangerous cardiovascular disease.
- In experimental studies with mice, the deletion of GP VI resulted in less aortic expansion and reduced inflammation, showing that it plays a crucial role in AAA pathology.
- The findings suggest that GP VI could serve as a potential biomarker for early detection of AAA in patients, as well as a target for future therapeutic interventions.
Identification of biomarkers for abdominal aortic aneurysm in Behçet's disease via mendelian randomization and integrated bioinformatics analyses.

Aims: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common, serious vascular disease with no effective pharmacological treatment. The nucleoside adenosine plays an important role in modulating vascular homeostasis, which prompted us to determine whether adenosine kinase (ADK), an adenosine metabolizing enzyme, modulates AAA formation via control of the intracellular adenosine level, and to investigate the underlying mechanisms.
Methods And Results: We used a combination of genetic and pharmacological approaches in murine models of AAA induced by calcium chloride (CaCl2) application or angiotensin II (Ang II) infusion to study the role of ADK in the development of AAA.

Background: Arterial/aortic tertiary lymphoid organs (ATLOs), characterized by germinal centers, control local arterial immune responses. T follicular helper cells (Tfh), resident in germinal centers, regulate immunoglobulin production and germinal center development. They consist of Tfh1, Tfh2, and Tfh17 subsets.

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are most commonly observed in elderly male patients and are particularly rare in children. Among the pediatric population, they are usually diagnosed in the context of connective tissue disorders, genetic mutations, or vasculitis. The same is true of visceral arteries aneurysms.
