The challenging management of acute mesenteric ischemia - too frail or too late?

INTRODUCTION: acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) presents a life-threatening emergency, requiring a high degree of suspicion for timely diagnosis. Despite advancements in the management of these patients, in-hospital mortality rates remain high. This study aims to assess the outcomes and prognostic factors in patients with AMI. METHODS: A retrospective single-center analysis of all patients undergoing emergent sur...

TEVAR for primary aortic mural thrombus: when and how?

INTRODUCTION: Primary aortic mural thrombus (PAMT) is a rare cause of peripheral embolization that has been associated with hypercoagulable states. Anticoagulation is usually the first-line strategy, but has been associated with a significant risk of recurrent embolization. CASE-REPORT: A 51-year-old male patient with a history of right lung carcinoma underwent a follow-up computed tomography angiography (CTA) ...

What is hidden behind persistent Inferior vena cava thrombosis?

LDT4QGIS: An open-source tool to enhance landscape analysis

Despite the variety of landscape software available, new tools keep being developed in order to improve the existing analytical capabilities. Scripts, packages, or standalone software are built to enhance performance, add features or fulfil specific needs. This paper introduces LDT4QGIS, an open-source tool built exclusively to operationalize the Landscape Dynamics Typology method. LDT4QGIS is a Python-based to...

Soil Management Practices, Fertilization, Pruning and Harvesting of Olive Groves

The cultural practices used in olive grove depend on cultivation method: traditional olive grove or modern olive grove. This chapter will analyse the practices of soil management, fertilization, pruning and harvesting methods in different cultivation methods. In traditional olive groves, producers tend to not invest significantly in the inputs as the groves do not provide great economic returns. In the majority...

Planning for Deer-Hunting Management at the Local and Regional Scales: Reconcil...

Game species with home ranges exceeding the area of the management units may entail conflicts over hunting rights and cause damage to crops and forest stands in surrounding areas. This is currently the case in the Mendro Mountain Range (Portugal), inhabited by free-ranging red (Cervus elaphus) and fallow deer (Dama dama) populations. This study’s primary goal was to uncover the processes underlying these tensio...

Physician modified endograft to treat a symptomatic juxta-renal aortic aneurysm...

BACKGROUND: Symptomatic or ruptured juxta-renal aortic aneurysms can be managed through open surgical repair or endovascular approaches, including chimney endovascular aortic repair (chEVAR), off-the-shelf branched devices, or physician-modified endograft (PMEG). PMEG has proven to be a feasible alternative with satisfactory long-term outcomes for such conditions. CASE REPORT: We document the inaugural case of ...
