The effect of above-normal body mass index (BMI) on health outcomes is controversial because it is difficult to distinguish from the effect due to BMI-associated cardiovascular risk factors. The objective was to analyze the impact on 10-year incidence of cardiovascular disease, cancer deaths and overall mortality of the interaction between cardiovascular risk factors and BMI. We conducted a pooled analysis of individual data from 12 Spanish population cohorts with 10-year follow-up.

Our purpose was to describe EAT, measured by transthoracic echocardiography, and to assess its association with metabolic syndrome (MS) in the RIVANA population-based study.
Methods: Physical examination was performed in 880 participants aged 45 to 74 years (492 of them with MS according to the harmonized definition).
Objective: Diabetes is a common cause of shortened life expectancy. We aimed to assess the association between diabetes and cause-specific death.
Research Design And Methods: We used the pooled analysis of individual data from 12 Spanish population cohorts with 10-year follow-up.
Article Synopsis
- Aortic stent-graft infections (ASGIs) are serious and can lead to high mortality rates; this study discusses two successful treatment cases with different approaches.
- Patient 1 received conservative treatment due to high surgical risk, while Patient 2 had endograft removal to address their infection; both patients showed no recurrent infection after 6 months.
- The study highlights that conservative treatment can be effective for high-risk patients, and it notes the first case of ASGI from Streptococcus haemolyticus and a fungal infection, along with a rare case of spondylodiscitis post-EVAR.
