Article Abstract
Ischemic limb lesions occasionally occur in neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units. Known risk factors include the placement of arterial catheters, arterial punctures to obtain blood samples, and the use of vasoactive/vasopressor medications for hypotension. Prolonged peripheral tissue ischemia may result in serious complications, and successful management depends on early detection, proper assessment, and the institution of appropriate intervention. Currently, there is no standard approach for the management of peripheral tissue ischemia in extreme preterm infants. Topical nitroglycerine use is one of the promising options used to manage ischemic limb injuries in neonates, as demonstrated in several case reports. We report a case of digital ischemia in an extreme preterm infant with no clear risk factors except extreme prematurity, which recovered after topical nitroglycerine therapy.

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury is an important mechanism of liver failure that occurs in many clinical conditions, including massive hemorrhage, major hepatectomy and liver transplantation, and leads to poor outcomes. The underlying cellular and molecular reactions are extremely complex and not completely understood. Anaerobic metabolism, ATP depletion, intracellular acidosis, calcium overload, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, activation of Kupffer cells and neutrophils, platelet aggregation, nitric oxide production, activation of the complement system and overexpression of cytokines and chemokines constitute the main pathophysiological actions and pathways for possible therapeutic strategies.

Introduction: Celiac trunk dissection is an extremely rare vascular injury in the setting of blunt abdominal trauma, accounting for less than 0.01 % of all trauma cases. Despite its rarity, this condition carries significant clinical relevance due to the celiac artery's role in perfusing vital upper abdominal organs.

BackgroundPercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improves outcomes in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by restoring myocardial perfusion. However, post-procedural malignant ventricular arrhythmias (MVA), as a serious complication, can cause hemodynamics instability and lead to in-hospital sudden cardiac death. Systemic inflammation indices serve as reliable biomarkers of inflammatory status and may predict arrhythmia risk.

Background: Myocardial bridging is an anatomical variant in which coronary arteries course within the myocardium rather than on the epicardial surface. Complete intramyocardial coronary systems are extremely rare and can lead to significant clinical consequences.
Case Summary: An 18-year-old man with left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy experienced chest pain and syncope while playing basketball, and was subsequently diagnosed with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is an extremely rare manifestation in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), associated with a poor prognosis. Here we present a case of 50-year-old female patient with long-term asthma treatment who presented initially with extreme eosinophilia (56%) and severe progressive ascending paresis, similar to Guillain-Barré syndrome, leading to tetraplegia. After navigating through diagnostic mazes, the diagnosis of EGPA was established based on eosinophilia, myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA) positivity, asthma, eosinophil granulomatosis in the gastrointestinal tract, and severe peripheral nervous system involvement, complicated with rare central nervous granulomas and ischemia.
