Article Abstract
Introduction: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is often associated with poor prognosis without immediate intervention. Despite the severity of AMI, little is known regarding gender and race specific disparities in outcomes of hospitalized patients. The aim of this study was to characterize gender and race specific disparities in patients hospitalized with AMI using the U.S. National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed on patients admitted with a primary diagnosis of AMI between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2020, using the NIS database. Demographics, comorbidities, and in-hospital outcomes were compared between racial groups and genders. Categorical and continuous variables were analyzed with chi-squared test and multivariable linear regression, respectively. Odds ratios (ORs) for the race and gender cohorts were obtained with logistic regression models.
Results: Of 99,225 patients, 55,420 (55.8%) were female. Compared to males, females had lower odds of in-hospital mortality (OR 0.93, P = 0.04), acute kidney injury (OR 0.70, P < 0.001), vasopressor use (OR 0.79, P < 0.001), invasive (OR 0.77, P < 0.001) and noninvasive mechanical ventilation (OR 0.70, P < 0.001), hemodialysis (OR 0.92, P < 0.001), venous thromboembolism (OR 0.78, P < 0.001), myocardial infarction (OR 0.80, P = 0.003), sudden cardiac arrest (OR 0.89, P = 0.002), and small bowel resection (OR 0.92, P = 0.003). Relative to White patients, Hispanic patients had significantly lower odds of inpatient mortality (OR 0.87, P = 0.04) and Native American patients had a higher risk of inpatient mortality (OR 1.64, P = 0.01). African American patients were significantly less likely to undergo percutaneous vascular intervention (OR 0.39, P < 0.001) and more likely to undergo small bowel resection (OR 1.25, P < 0.001).
Conclusions: AMI has worse outcomes in males. Disparities were also observed based on the race of the patients, with a worse complication profile among certain minority groups.

General Surgery, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, USA.
Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the narrowing of the space between the SMA and the aorta, resulting in the compression of the third portion of the duodenum. This syndrome has many names, including cast syndrome, arterio-mesenteric duodenal compression syndrome, and Wilkie syndrome. This is attributed to the loss of the intervening mesenteric fat pad, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its nonspecific presentation.

Adults with short bowel syndrome (SBS), malabsorption, and malnutrition often require long-term parenteral nutrition (PN), typically as total PN (TPN). These patients are susceptible to bloodstream infections and sepsis. We present a case of a 63-year-old male patient who developed SBS following an acute mesenteric event.

Aims: Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (II/R) injury predominantly causes acute lung injury (ALI), and in severe instances, acute respiratory distress syndrome, both associated with high mortality. Electroacupuncture (EA) excels in regulating autonomic nervous system balance and safeguarding organ function. This study delved into EA's impacts and mechanisms on II/R-induced ALI.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of mesenteric artery stenosis and its association with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) among elderly patients presenting at the emergency department with acute abdominal pain.
Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study included 500 consecutive patients aged 65 years or more who underwent contrast enhanced computed tomography at the emergency department due to acute abdominal pain between 2013 and 2014. Imaging data were retrospectively evaluated by a consultant interventional radiologist for ≥50% stenosis of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), celiac artery (CA) and inferior mesenteric artery (IMA).
