An aortic aneurysm (AA) is a life-threatening condition. Oxidative stress may be a common pathway linking multiple mechanisms of an AA, including vascular inflammation and metalloproteinase activity. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is the preferred surgical approach for AA treatment.

We report a case series with no options of AVF in which vessel caliber improvement after isometric exercise allowed for radiocephalic fistula creation in all of them.
Methods: Since 2017 to 2019, four patients were referred to our unit to create an AVF.
Efficacy and safety of intramuscular administration of allogeneic adipose tissue derived and expanded mesenchymal stromal cells in diabetic patients with critical limb ischemia with no possibility of revascularization: study protocol for a randomized controlled double-blind phase II clinical trial (The NOMA Trial).
Trials
September 2021
Article Synopsis
- - Chronic lower limb ischemia is a serious complication for patients with type 2 diabetes, leading to high rates of non-traumatic amputations, and existing treatments like antiplatelet therapy and statins have not been very effective.
- - This study aims to explore a new treatment method using mesenchymal stromal cells from adipose tissue to improve blood flow in patients who cannot undergo surgery for critical limb ischemia.
- - The research will involve a randomized trial with 90 patients divided into three groups to assess the safety and effectiveness of cell therapy over one year, while also considering the impact on patients' quality of life.
Background: Although most bloodstream yeast infections are caused by Candida spp., infections by rare or less common species have increased in recent years. Diagnosis of infections caused by these species is difficult due to the lack of specific symptoms and adequate diagnostic tools.

HD with an autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is associated with higher survival, lower health care costs and fewer complications. Although a distal forearm AVF is the best option, not all patients are good candidates for this approach and the primary failure rate ranges from 20% to 50%.
