Can simultaneous coronary and peripheral angiography alter the treatment planning in Fontaine stage IV peripheral arterial disease?

Objectives: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and coronary artery disease (CAD) are major contributors to global morbidity and mortality. Many PAD patients remain asymptomatic for CAD, which often leads to undetected coronary artery involvement. This hidden coronary disease poses significant risks, particularly following peripheral revascularization, as increased cardiac demand can precipitate complications.

Global prevalence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection in pregnant women: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection (gonorrhoea) is associated with several pregnancy complications, including preterm labour, spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, miscarriage, growth retardation, and intrauterine death.

Objectives: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the global and regional prevalence of gonorrhoea in pregnant women as a scientific basis for further studies.

Data Sources: We systematically searched PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and SciELO databases from inception to 10 July 2022.
