Silent Contained Rupture of an Inflammatory IgG4-Related Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
No full textThis report describes a case of a 66-year-old male patient with accidental diagnosis of chronic contained rupture of an aortic aneurysm. Surgery was performed through a median laparotomy. A thick periaortic tissue with fibrosis and lymphnodes covered the AAA. Immunohistochemical examination of the aneurismatic aortic wall revealed intense positivity for inflammatory markers and a large number of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) positive cells. The postoperative course was uneventful and patient was discharged in the fifth postoperative day. Patient was then followed periodically at the outpatient rheumatologic clinic. No adverse events occurred during 3 and 6 months follow up. Conclusion: Identification of IgG4-inflammatory aneurysms as an expression of the IgG4-related systemic disease is essential both for clinical follow up and surgical and pharmacological treatment considering the possibility of aneurysm rupture and the involvement of other organs

Genetic delineation of venous leg ulcer and clinical implication
No full textThe recognition that functional gene variants, mainly single nucleotide
polymorphisms significantly involved in venous ulcer establishment and in wound
healing, have an extraordinary role in the prognosis, diagnosis and treatment of
chronic wounds.
• Single nucleotide polymorphisms in hemochromatosis and coagulation factor XIII
genes can be used as molecular markers or prognostic tools. This allows the
development of strategies to predict patients at increased risk of developing severe
complications of chronic venous disorders and to predict healing time after
superficial venous surgery.
• Clinical practice could be strongly influenced by the results of an hemochromatosis
genetic screening test. A positive test would strengthen the indications and
priorities for surgical correction of superficial venous insufficiency. Primary varicose
veins could be treated more appropriately before any lesions develop in patients
with a genetic haplotype associated with an increased risk of lesion development
