Mycotic Aneurysm in an Immunocompromised Patient with Pneumonia and Spondylodis...

BACKGROUND: Mycotic aneurysm is a rare entity with rapid progression, which can be fatal without adequate treatment. The incidence of rupture is greater than that of degenerative aneurysms and is associated with a high mortality rate. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 58-year-old man with a known history of HIV infection with good immunovirological staging, treated squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal a...

A Giant Arteriovenous Malformation of the Abdominal Wall

INTRODUCTION: Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) are high-fow anomalous connections between the arterial and venous systems composed of dysplastic vessels resulting from aberrant angiogenesis. They are congenital and when symptomatic they rarely manifest before adolescence. Depending on the location, size, stage and severity of the symptoms, treatment options vary from conservative management to surgical resect...

Comparing outcomes after open and endovascular chronic mesenteric ischemia reva...

INTRODUCTION: Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a rare but life-threatening disease. This study aimed to analyze the safety and effectiveness of open (OR) and endovascular (ER) revascularization and respective outcomes in a consecutive series of CMI patients. METHODS: From 2013 to 2023, all CMI patients treated with OR and ER were retrospectively identified. Demographics, comorbidities, clinical presentation...

Uma disseção muito complicada: um caso clínico

INTRODUÇÃO: A disseção aórtica aguda tipo B (DAAB) é uma síndrome aórtica aguda que apresenta elevada taxa de mortalidade. Atualmente, na fase aguda, preconiza-se o tratamento médico nos casos de DAAB não complicada, ficando a cirurgia reservada para os casos de DAAB complicada (rutura, síndrome de malperfusão, dor/hipertensão ref ratária, expansão rápida ou progressão proximal/distal). A cirur...

Assessment of antimicrobial resistance spread in surface aquatic systems: a stu...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) spread in surface water systems, providing water for drinking or for recreational activities, can have serious implications to human, animal and environmental health. The standard criteria to assess water quality are based in the absence of specific bacteria, and do not include AMR study. Here we evaluate the spread of AMR bacteria in rivers of North Portugal under diverse anthrop...
