Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the concept of an 8-week personalised activity plan, using short periods of physical activity to break up sitting time in people with Intermittent Claudication (IC), to improve walking ability, and reduce time spent sitting.
Methods: The study was designed as a single centre, single arm, before and after study and is registered with clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04572737).
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare physical activity and physical function in individuals with type 2 diabetes who have peripheral artery disease (PAD) versus those who do not.
- Participants wore accelerometers to measure various levels of physical activity over a week, and their physical function was assessed using several tests.
- Results indicated that those with PAD engaged in significantly less physical activity and had poorer physical function compared to those without PAD, although some differences were affected by other factors.
Background: The aim was to determine the comparative benefits of structured high-pain exercise, structured low-pain exercise, and usual-care control, to identify which has the largest effect on walking ability in people with intermittent claudication (IC).
Methods: A network meta-analysis was undertaken to assess two outcomes: pain-free walking ability (PFWA) and maximal walking ability (MWA). Nine electronic databases were searched.
We present a case series highlighting a novel use of arterial spin labeling (ASL), a MRI perfusion technique, to evaluate both high- and low-flow peripheral vascular malformations (PVMs) across a range of anatomical locations. While the role of ASL in assessing intracranial vascular malformations is more established, there is limited evidence for PVMs. Our results provide preliminary evidence for the feasibility of ASL in imaging PVMs and its potential ability to distinguish between high- and low-flow PVMs.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study utilised data collected from a prospectively maintained VaLS clinic database. Patients aged ≥50 presenting to the VaLS clinic with CLTI between February 2018 and April 2019 were included.
