Outcomes of endovascular treatment for popliteal artery disease.

Finding the appropriate endovascular revascularization strategy for patients with peripheral artery disease and a popliteal artery lesion remains particulary challenging. Data regarding predictors for a beneficial outcome are scarce. All endovascular procedures of popliteal artery lesions (n=227) performed in 197 patients between February 2009 and May 2018 at our institution were retrospectively analyzed.

A case report of -associated inherited lymphoedema with recurrent life-threatening lymphangitis.

Background: Most cases of lymphoedema are secondary to other causes, while cases of primary lymphoedema, in particular that of congenital origin, are uncommon. Limited genetic disorders are so far known to be associated with lymphatic malformation including mutations in . This clinical case highlights the possible complications of -associated lymphatic malformation in a female suffering from recurrent life-threatening septic lymphangitis.

Significant prevalence of peripheral artery disease in patients with disturbed wound healing following elective foot and ankle surgery: Results from the ABI-PRIORY (ABI as a PRedictor of Impaired wound healing after ORthopedic surgerY) trial.

Disturbed wound healing (DWH) following elective foot and ankle surgery is associated with a number of known risk factors. The purpose of this study was to determine if peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a potential risk factor that contributes to an increase in postoperative DWH. In a case-control study, we analyzed all patients undergoing elective foot and ankle surgery between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2017 at two institutions and identified 51 patients with postoperative DWH.

Endovascular therapy of subclavian artery occlusive disease involving the vertebral artery origin.

Unlabelled: Background: While the majority of subclavian artery (SA) lesions are localized in the proximal segment, the evidence in patients with medial SA disease involving the vertebral artery (VA) origin are scarce.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all patients who underwent percutaneous revascularization of the SA at our institution.

Results: A total of 196 patients were retrospectively analyzed.

Predictors of patient satisfaction after cardiac pacemaker implantation or ICD implantation.

Background And Aim Of The Study: The study aimed to identify predictors of satisfaction of patients receiving a cardiac pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD).

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study measuring patient satisfaction postdischarge by using a mailed questionnaire. Study participants included a random sample of hospitalized patients who had undergone implantation of a pacemaker or ICD in 30 hospitals in Germany.

Imaging Neuronal Activity in the Optic Tectum of Late Stage Larval Zebrafish.

The zebrafish is an established model to study the development and function of visual neuronal circuits in vivo, largely due to their optical accessibility at embryonic and larval stages. In the past decade multiple experimental paradigms have been developed to study visually-driven behaviours, particularly those regulated by the optic tectum, the main visual centre in lower vertebrates. With few exceptions these techniques are limited to young larvae (7-9 days post-fertilisation, dpf).

Age-related differences in the P3 amplitude in change blindness.

Observers often miss visual changes in the environment when they co-occur with other visual disruptions. This phenomenon is called change blindness. Previous research has shown that change blindness increases with age.
