Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare direct vs. indirect revascularization methods for the left vertebral artery in patients needing surgery involving the aortic arch.
- It found that patients undergoing direct revascularization had higher rates of complications like stroke, death, and nerve injuries compared to those with indirect revascularization via the subclavian artery.
- Results showed that direct revascularization patients were almost three times more likely to experience severe outcomes and six times more likely to have issues like hoarseness post-surgery.
Objective: Many studies have analysed gender bias in academic medicine; however, no comprehensive synthesis of the literature has been performed. We conducted a pooled analysis of the difference in the proportion of men versus women with full professorship among academic physicians.
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare disease triggered by dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway, consisting of a characteristic triad of nonimmune hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and renal failure. The risk of aHUS onset, recurrence, and allograft loss depends on the genetic background of a patient. We show a series of cases from a single family whose five members were affected by aHUS and presented distinct clinical outcomes.

We therefore sought to characterize the indications for home care nursing following vascular surgery from the surgeon's perspective.
Methods: An online survey was distributed to the 141 members of the Canadian Society for Vascular Surgery with questions related to home care nursing after carotid endarterectomy (CEA), endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR), open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair and open or hybrid revascularization for peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
Background: The care necessary to prevent amputation from diabetes and peripheral artery disease (PAD) remains disjointed in many jurisdictions. To help inform integrated regional care, this study explores the correlation between regional health care services and rates of lower extremity amputation.
Methods: This ecological study included 14 administrative health regions in Ontario, Canada.
