The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of foot revascularization in persons with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and below-the-ankle (BTA) arterial disease. Consecutive patients referred for a new active ischaemic DFU requiring lower limb revascularization were considered. Among those, only patients with a BTA arterial disease were included.

- There is currently no reliable system to predict the risk of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage after thrombectomy for ischemic stroke, prompting the development of a nomogram to address this issue.
- The study analyzed data from 3714 patients treated for large vessel occlusion and created the IER-SICH nomogram based on various factors, including age and procedure time, to assess hemorrhage risk.
- The IER-SICH nomogram demonstrated good predictive ability, with area under the curve values of 0.778 in the training set and 0.709 in the test set, making it the first validated model for early identification of high-risk patients post-thrombectomy.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create and validate a new nomogram, called IER-START, to predict unfavorable outcomes in stroke patients with large vessel occlusion who received intervention within 6 hours.
- This nomogram was based on key factors like the NIH Stroke Scale score, age, previous disability levels, and treatment methods, utilizing data from the Italian Endovascular Registry.
- The IER-START model demonstrated strong predictive performance, with an AUC-ROC of 0.838 in training and 0.820 in testing, making it a reliable tool for assessing patient outcomes after thrombectomy.
Chemoembolization with lipiodol (TACE) improves survival of selected patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but results in substantial toxicity. To improve treatment tolerance, we conducted this phase II study using doxorubicin-loaded beads (DC Beads®) delivered by selective transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE). We compared the results with those obtained with TACE in our historical controls.

Patients And Methods: Between October 1997 and March 2009, 44 patients (30 men and 14 women; mean age 79 years, range 51-95) with intractable haematuria secondary to advanced pelvic tumour arising from or invading the bladder, underwent internal iliac TAE. Twenty-four patients had transitional carcinoma of the urinary bladder, 12 adenocarcinoma of the prostate, five carcinoma of the uterus, one cancer of the vagina, two carcinoma of the rectum, three carcinoma of the kidney, two simultaneous carcinoma of prostate and bladder, one simultaneous carcinoma of prostate and kidney and one had haemorrhagic cystitis after radiotherapy.
Purpose: To compare the contribution of 64 channel multidetector row computed tomography angiography (64MDCT-angiography) with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in the detection of intracranial aneurysms.
Methods And Materials: Twenty-nine patients (10 males and 19 females, age: 40-84 years; average: 61.9 years) with clinical and imaging findings strongly suggesting the presence of subaracnoid hemorrhage underwent 64MDCT-angiography and DSA with a short interval between the two examinations (less than 12 h-5 days).
