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...

Treatment Of Post-Operative Chylothorax: The Role Of Intranodal Lymphangiograph...

Thoracic duct embolization has been increasingly adopted as a first-line therapy of chylothorax and this procedure includes lipiodol lymphangiography, thoracic duct access and embolization. Lymphangiography itself has a therapeutic role, with volume-dependent success rates of 37%-97% and even a reported 100% success rate in outputs of < 500 mL/day. We present a clinical case of a 48-years-old man diagnosed w...

Geophysical characterization of the Cercal Paleozoic structure, Iberian Pyrite ...

ABSTRACT: The Cercal Volcano-Sedimentary Complex (Cercal VSC) structure is the westernmost sector of the Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB) giant metallogenic province and was explored since Roman times for volcanogenic massive sulphides (VMS) and Fe–Mn (Ba) deposits. However, presently only a single deposit is known, the Salgadinho Cu-Ag-Au stockwork/disseminated deposit. Nevertheless, according to several mining compa...

Circular economyeast: saccharomyces cerevisiae as a sustainable source of gluca...

Glucans, a polysaccharide naturally present in the yeast cell wall that can be obtained from side streams generated during the fermentation process, have gained increasing attention for their potential as a skin ingredient. Therefore, this study focused on the extraction method to isolate and purify water-insoluble glucans from two different Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains: an engineered strain obtained from s...

New insights on the ultramafic intrusions surrounding the Kunene Anorthosite Co...

ABSTRACT: The Kunene Anorthosite Complex (KAC), located in SW Angola, is one of the largest anorthosite structures in the world. Dating from the Mesoproterozoic, its installation process is still not clear. Several mafic and ultramafic outcrops can be found surrounding the KAC. Once considered related with its emplacement, the study of these bodies may help us understand the history of this unique geological fe...

Metallogenetic potencial of the Paleoproterozoic mafic-ultramafic Hamutenha int...

ABSTRACT: In the SW sector of the Angolan shield occur the Kunene Anorthositic Complex (KAC), one of the most remarkable magmatic anorthositic suites worldwide. The KAC is considered a long-lived magmatic system that operated in the area intermittently during the Mesoproterozoic (1450 ± 2 Ma to 1371 ± 2.5 Ma). Smaller mafic-ultramafic intrusive bodies ranging in composition from dunite to harzbugite, pyroxenite...
