Acute kidney injury and undiagnosed immunoglobulin A nephropathy after dabigatran therapy.
We report a case of a man who resumed dabigatran after 6 weeks of prior therapy and began experiencing hematuria with worsening kidney function. Renal biopsy with immunofluorescence and electron microscopy showed mesangial deposits consistent with immunoglobulin A nephropathy. With discontinuation of dabigatran and addition of methylprednisolone, the gross hematuria cleared and urine output improved. PMID: 29904298 [PubMed]

High-resolution Intracranial Vessel Wall Imaging in Monitoring Treatment Response in Primary CNS Angiitis
Conclusions: Our report illustrates the utility of HR-VWI in diagnosing a case of PCNS angiitis through the demonstration of a vasculitic pattern of mural enhancement. Furthermore, it has provided evidence of disease response to treatment, assisting us in modifying treatment accordingly. Tracking disease activity and response to treatment in cases of central nervous system vasculitis can be another important use of HR-VWI in clinical practice besides assisting in establishing the diagnosis.

Isolated Cerebral Vasculitis in the Unilateral Middle Cerebral Artery in a Case with SLE.
Authors: Takeshita S, Ogata T, Tsugawa J, Tsuboi Y Abstract A 47-year-old woman, who was diagnosed to have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), was admitted because she suffered a severe ischemic stroke three weeks after experiencing a transient attack of aphasia. Diffusion-weighted MR imaging revealed high intensity at the borderzone of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), while the proximal portion of the left MCA was occluded with its vascular wall enhanced by gadolinium. Intravenous methylprednisolone and heparin were administrated without any symptomatic benefit. She developed severe right hemiparesis with aphasia...

P030  Antiphospholipid syndrome and giant cell arteritis: a coincidence or connection?
Conclusion In summary, this is a case of GCA and APS, treated with prednisolone, aspirin, warfarin and tocilizumab. There is increasing evidence describing the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies in patients with vasculitis. However, the role of these antibodies in GCA and the clinical significance rema ins unclear. This case reports highlights the need for physicians to consider APS in patients who have a history of GCA and subsequently develop arterial or venous embolic events.Disclosure L. Sammut: None.E. Htut: None.

Spinal cord infarction. A case report and narrative review
Acta Biomed. 2021 Apr 30;92(S1):e2021080. doi: 10.23750/abm.v92iS1.8395.ABSTRACTSpinal cord infarction is a rare but severe disorder, consistently less frequent than ischemic brain injury. It constitutes only 1-2% of all neurological vascular emergencies. Here we describe a case of spinal cord infarction in a 68-year-old Caucasian man without any neurological problem in his clinical history. The patient presented to the Emergency Department complaining for sudden onset of lower limbs weakness, as well as pain and mild loss of sensitivity in both legs. These symptoms suddenly arose after a 10 minutes bicycle race. He underw...

Case Report: Myxedema Coma Caused by Immunoglobulin A Vasculitis in a Patient With Severe Hypothyroidism
Myxedema coma is a critical disorder with high mortality rates. Disruption of the compensatory mechanism for severe and long-term hypothyroidism by various causes leads to critical conditions, including hypothermia, respiratory failure, circulatory failure, and central nervous system dysfunction. Infectious diseases, stroke, myocardial infarction, sedative drugs, and cold exposure are considered the main triggers for myxedema coma. A 59-year-old Japanese woman presented with bilateral painful purpura on her lower legs. She was diagnosed with coexisting immunoglobulin A (IgA) vasculitis and severe IgA vasculitis with nephri...

Three-Year Experience of Kidney Transplantation at a Single Center in Uzbekistan
CONCLUSIONS: Delayed graft function developed when duration of warm ischemia was increased, which was influenced by the number of vessels in the donor kidney. This is an important prognostic factor for acute rejection development. The risk of vascular complications increases due to postoperative hemodialysis trough, with development of delayed graft function. Recipient deaths during the first year after kidney transplant were mainly from pulmonary embolism, infection, and sepsis as a result of immunosuppression, hypovolemic shock, and acute ischemic stroke.PMID:35384804 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2021.O10
