Acute pancreatitis, a sudden inflammatory condition, can lead to a hypercoagulable state resulting in complications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE). This case report discusses a unique presentation of a massive PE in a patient with acute pancreatitis despite being on appropriate prophylactic anticoagulation. A 27-year-old man presented with acute abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.

Objective: To establish lactate and glucose differences between affected and non-affected limbs in cats with feline arterial thromboembolism (FATE). To evaluate the correlation between these values and survival to discharge as well as congestive heart failure (CHF).
Methods: Blood glucose and lactate concentrations were prospectively obtained on admission from client-owned FATE cats and client-owned cats presented for other conditions.
A Rare Case of Acute Aortic Occlusion Mimicking Cauda Equina Syndrome in a Patient With Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Acute aortic occlusion (AAO) is a rare and life-threatening condition, mostly secondary to acute thrombosis or embolism. It usually presents as bilateral lower limb ischemia; however, in rare cases, spinal cord infarction might coexist, mimicking cauda equina syndrome. We present a rare case of AAO by saddle embolism of a thoracic aortic mural thrombus.

Article Synopsis
- Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a serious complication from heparin therapy that leads to a low platelet count and increased risk of blood clots.
- A case study involved a 65-year-old woman with a history of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and kidney issues, who developed a significant pulmonary embolism.
- The case underscores the complexities of treating pulmonary embolism in patients with HIT, highlighting the importance of tailored anticoagulation approaches and teamwork among healthcare providers.
