Background: Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is an emerging zoonotic intestinal pathogen primarily transmitted through contaminated food and water. Infections caused by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis are typically self-limiting, often presenting as gastroenteritis or "pseudoappendicitis," which is characterized by fever and abdominal pain. Although bloodstream infections with Yersinia pseudotuberculosis are rare, they can lead to multiple distant sites of infection, including abscesses in the liver, spleen, and kidneys, as well as in the hip and knee joints, particularly in individuals with underlying immunodeficiency.

High-flow pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) aneurysms secondary to celiac trunk occlusion or stenosis have a high risk of rupture. Embolization offers a less invasive alternative to surgery. We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of retrograde embolization via the superior mesenteric artery of high-flow PDA aneurysms without celiac trunk revascularization.

This editorial article is intended to perform a discussion on the manuscript entitled "Simultaneous portal vein thrombosis and splenic vein thrombosis in a COVID-19 patient: A case report and review of literature" written by Abramowitz . The article focuses on the diagnostic processes in a 77-year-old-male patient with a simultaneous portal vein and splenic artery thrombosis accompanying coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The authors postulated that splanchnic thrombosis should be on the list of differential diagnoses in a patient presenting with abdominal pain in presence of a COVID-19 infection.

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains the leading cardiac problem affecting pregnant women, especially in low- to middle-income countries. In nearly one-third of the cases, it is detected during pregnancy when they present with complications. Infective endocarditis (IE) in pregnancy is rare, with an incidence of 1 in 100 000 pregnancies, and carries high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.

A comprehensive understanding of the cardio-spleen-bone marrow immune cell axis is essential for elucidating the alterations occurring during the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus (DM). This study investigates the dynamics of immune cell kinetics in DM after myocardial infarction (MI) over time. MI was induced in diabetic and healthy control groups using C57BL/N6 mice, with sacrifices occurring at days 1, 3, 7, and 28 post-MI to collect heart, peripheral blood (PB), spleen, and bone marrow (BM) samples.

Atraumatic splenic rupture (ASR) is an unfamiliar entity that is potentially life-threatening if there is a delay in the diagnosis. Due to its rarity and its non-specific presentation, it can be a challenge to diagnose early. In this report, we present a case of a 42-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department with nonspecific abdominal pain and had no past medical history.
