Subclavian-Brachial Bypass for Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia Associated with an Old Motorcycle Accident.

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia is rarely associated with previous traumatic injury. We present a case of a 28-year-old male with progressive digit ulcers, a weak pulse, cyanosis, and a cold limb. Eight months prior, he had a motorcycle accident resulting in a right clavicle fracture and brachial plexus injury.

Percutaneous creation of an arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis access.

Purpose: Arteriovenous fistulae (AVFs) created by conventional surgical techniques are associated with suboptimal short- and long-term patency. This study investigated the feasibility of creating fistulae with a percutaneous system and evaluated the utility of percutaneous AVFs (pAVFs) in providing hemodialysis access.

Materials And Methods: From August 2012 to September 2013, a percutaneous system was used to attempt pAVF creation between the proximal ulnar artery and a closely associated ulnar vein in 33 patients.

Birthweight percentiles by gestational age and gender for children in the North of Mexico.

The objective of this study was to determine the 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles of birthweight, by gestational age and sex, for newborns covered by the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) in the State of Chihuahua. To generate the database, we used IMSS hospitals' records in the State of Chihuahua, covering the period between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2004. We included singleton live births only, and excluded babies with congenital malformations.
