Background: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is associated with increased risk of major adverse cardiac and limb events (MACLE). In patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), evolocumab is associated with decreased MACLE, improved maximal walking time, increased vascular flow-mediated dilation (FMD), and decreased carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). We investigated the additive effect of evolocumab in patients with CLTI on maximally tolerated lipid lowering therapy after an index revascularization for non-healing wounds.

Article Synopsis
- - Hypokalemia is a common issue typically seen as mild with no symptoms, but moderate-to-severe cases can lead to serious health problems.
- - Severe hypokalemia (potassium level of 2.5 mEq/L or lower) can cause symptoms like muscle cramps, weakness, and severe complications, including renal and respiratory failure.
- - The text presents a case of a patient with extremely low potassium levels (1.4 mEq/L) due to furosemide use, who only reports muscle spasms despite the severity of their condition.

Dacryoadenitis as a Rare Initial Presentation in a Patient with Suspected Crest Syndrome.
Eur J Case Rep Intern Med
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare disease that can affect different parts of the body, and this case is about a 51-year-old woman who had swelling in her eyelid.
- Doctors found she had an enlarged lacrimal gland and inflammatory symptoms that didn’t get better with regular treatments, which led them to explore further possible conditions.
- This case is important because it shows that SSc, specifically CREST syndrome, can have unusual symptoms like swelling in the eyes, and doctors need to think about different diagnoses when they see such signs.
