https://www.selleckchem.com/ Spinal cord ischemia (SCI) is a rare presenting symptom of acute complicated type B aortic dissection (TBAD); occurring in approximately 3% of patients.1 We present a case report of a patient with this presentation who had observed resolution of his paraplegia symptoms immediately after placement of a thoracic stent graft under local anesthesia. The temporal association between true lumen flow restoration and paraplegia resolution intra-operatively is a novel finding. We feel that this case report may provide support for recognized cord perfusion theory,2 as well as contribute to the understanding of the time frame associated with SCI and reversibility of paraplegia. OBJECTIVE Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is associated with an increased mortality, mostly cardiovascular events. Moreover, aorto-iliac calcification is associated with increased mortality in patients with peripheral occlusive disease. The aim of this study is to assess the potential association between ilio-femoral calcification, assessed by calcium score, in patients undergoing infrarenal (EVAR) or fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR) and long-term mortality, particularly caused by cardiac events. METHODS All patients with preoperative non-contrast enhanced CT scans that underwent infrarenal EVAR and FEVAR of non-ruptured AAA between 2004 and 2012 at a single tertiary center were screened for inclusion. Agatston calcium score was measured from the aortic bifurcation to common femoral arteries using a dedicated postprocessing software. The values are presented as median and interquartile range (IQR) RESULTS 404 (62,05%) out of 651 patients who underwent EVAR and FEVAR had sufficient imaging qualitfurther. Leishmaniasis is a protozoan parasitic infection that can manifest as visceral or cutaneous disease. Immunosuppression, mainly through TNF-α inhibition, is a risk factor for complicated leishmaniasis that is becoming increasingly known. Here, we present a case o
