Introduction. Spontaneous renal hemorrhage is a rare condition with potentially serious complications. Case report. We present a 76-year old woman with a 3-day history of fever and malaise, with no associated trauma. She was admitted in our emergency room with signs of shock. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan revealed an extensive right kidney hematoma. Despite quick surgical management, the patient died less than 24h after admission. Conclusion. Spontaneous renal hemorrhage should be quickly identified due to its fatal complications. An early diagnosis has important prognostic value.

Introduction: Groove pancreatitis is a rare form of chronic pancreatitis. Its radiological diagnosis is challenging and it can be difficult to distinguish from pancreaticoduodenal malignancy. Case description: A 64-year-old woman was admitted to our internal medicine ward after she contracted severe COVID-19 pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation. She presented with right upper abdominal pain, and a CT scan showed pancreaticoduodenal inflammatory tissue; malignancy was ruled out. Conclusion: Diagnosing groove pancreatitis is challenging and malignancy must be quickly excluded. No cases of COVID-19-associated groove pancreatitis have been previously described.

Introduction: Spontaneous renal haemorrhage is a rare condition with potentially serious complications. Case description: We describe a 76-year-old woman with a 3-day history of fever and malaise, with no associated trauma. She was admitted to our emergency room with signs of shock. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan revealed an extensive right kidney haematoma. Despite fast surgical management, the patient died less than 24 h after admission. Conclusion: Spontaneous renal haemorrhage should be quickly identified due to its fatal complications. Early diagnosis leads to a better prognosis.

The conference and resulting papers reflect on interdisciplinarity as not limited to the design of objects or services, but seeking awareness towards new lifestyles and innovative approaches to food sustainability.
