Calciphylaxis: a rare cause of limb ulcer – a case report

BACKGROUND: Calciphylaxis is a rare disease with a poor prognosis predominantly found in end-stage renal disease patients treated with dialysis. This pathology most commonly presents with painful non-healing ulcers, predisposing to high risk of sepsis and death. The authors present a case of bilateral leg ulcers due to calciphylaxis. CASE REPORT: A 40-year-old female patient presented with painful ulcers in bot...

Pseudoaneurysm after partial nephrectomy managed by selective angiographic embo...

INTRODUCTION: Partial nephrectomy is considered the gold standard treatment for many renal tumors when technically feasible. Renal artery pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistulas are rare life-threatening complications that occur more frequently after laparoscopic rather than open partial nephrectomy. CASE REPORT: The authors present a case of a 67-year-old female patient with persistent hematuria due to a ren...

Results of the first 1000 infra-renal aortic aneurysms included in the Portugue...

INTRODUCTION: The Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) module of the Portuguese National Vascular Registry (RNPV) is a prospective, voluntary, population-based registry, that encompasses more than 90% of portuguese vascular departments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of the first 1000 infra-renal AAA included in the Portuguese RNPV. METHODS: Data were collected from November 2019 to December 2022 ...

RETROPERITONEAL CYSTIC LYMPHANGIOMA: CASE REPORT OF A RARE ENTITY

Cystic lymphangioma is a rare and benign malformation of the lymphatic system, with retroperitoneal location accounting for only 1% of all lymphangiomas. Clinical presentation is frequently nonspecific. Authors present a case report of a 38 years old woman with persistent abdominal pain refractory to treatment that required imaging investigation (abdominal ultrasound and thoraco-abdominopelvic computed tomograp...

THE FIRST YEAR OF THE ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM MODULE OF THE PORTUGUESE NATION...

Introduction: Clinical registries are fundamental tools to understand the reality and audit the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The Portuguese Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery, promotor of the National Registry of Vascular Procedures (RNPV), has developed a AAA module that started in December 2019. The objective of this report is to present data of the first year of the AAA module from P...

Collaborative mass customization of footwear: conceptualization of a three-stag...

Despite Mass Customization being already well known and quite studied in the literature, the interest in this productive approach has not been exhausted. This happens due to the continuous evolution of the paradigm based on technological evolution and on the increasing heterogeneity of the consumer profile. In fact, in the fashion industry and specifically in the footwear sector, there is a continuous interest ...

IMPORTANCE OF AAA SIZE AS A PREDICTOR OF COMPLICATIONS AFTER EVAR

Introduction: EVAR represents the preferred modality for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) repair. However, a comprehension regarding its limits is paramount to avoid future complications. AAA sac diameter has been described as a relevant risk factor for late complications. The purpose of this study is to summarize relevant findings regarding the association between AAA diameter and AAA-related complications. Me...

Vascular Pathways of Testosterone: Clinical Implications

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Testosterone (T) is an important sex hormone that triggers several genomic and non-genomic pathways, leading to improvements of several cardiovascular risk factors and quality of life in men. At the vascular level, the key effect of T is the vasorelaxation. This review discusses the molecular pathways and clinical implications of T ...
