Objective: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) growth remains a process not fully understood. The objective of this study was to analyze risk factors associated with changes in AAA diameter in a Mexican cohort.
Methods: An observational study in which we analyzed the entirely of patients in which an AAA was reported in a Computed Tomography (CT) study from 2014 to 2021 who had a follow-up CT.
Background: In Mexico, there is a paucity of evidence on mortality and hospitalization patterns associated with aortic aneurysms and dissections.
Objective: To analyze national databases and describe the epidemiological characteristics of different aortic pathologies.
Material And Methods: Retrospective, cross-sectional, observational study, in which mortality and hospitalization attributed to aortic aneurysms and dissections were analyzed.
Introduction: Carotid body tumors are rare neoplasms with malignant potential. We aim to follow up on our initial experience published in 2015 and compare the occurrence of complications and postoperative outcomes with the use of retrocarotid dissection (RCD) against the standard caudocranial (SCCD) technique.
Methods: This was an observational, case-control study in which we analyzed all of the carotid body tumor resections performed from 1986 to 2022.
Article Synopsis
- * The study, involving 13 hospitals, found that the majority of patients (88%) were male, all experienced bacterial infections, and 30% had fungal infections; complications related to the BCG vaccine occurred in 58% of vaccinated patients.
- * Genetic analysis revealed X-linked CGD was most common, with 89% diagnosed biologically and 89% genetically; notable findings include a significant presence of CYBA and NCF2 mutations,
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency syndrome which is characterized by increased susceptibility to severe fungal and bacterial infections. CGD is the result of the lack of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase enzyme in the patient's phagocytes to produce superoxide. It is characterized by recurrent infections with a narrow spectrum of bacteria and fungi, as well as a common set of inflammatory complications, including inflammatory bowel disease.
