Abstract:
The link between coagulatory dysfunction in acute leukemias is well known, with patients having an increased risk of bleeding as well as thrombosis. Arterial thrombosis is particularly rare in this population however with only a few reported cases in the literature. We report the case of acute arterial occlusion secondary to a leukoblastic embolus causing limb-threatening ischemia in a patient with acute myelogenous leukemia. The patient was successfully treated surgically by open superficial femoral artery thrombectomy, common femoral endarterectomy with patch angioplasty, and percutaneous tibial embolectomy.

Acute Pharyngitis
Acute pharyngitis is the inflammation of the back of the throat (pharynx), commonly resulting in a sore throat. It is a frequently encountered condition that prompts individuals to seek medical advice.
Classification
Acute pharyngitis can be categorized based on its underlying cause:
Arteries of Lower Limbs
Arteries and Arterioles
Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
Acute Respiratory Failure-I
Definition: It is defined by specific criteria based on blood gas measurements. Hypoxemia happens when the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) falls below 60 mmHg. At the same time,...
Acute Respiratory Failure-II
The underlying physiological abnormalities that contribute to hypoxemic respiratory failure include:
