Lipid profile abnormalities & 10 yr risk of CVD assessment among adult in North East India: A cross-sectional study.

Background & Objectives: In India, lifestyle changes have contributed to increase in the number of people suffering from lipid profile abnormalities, which is a major risk factor for coronary artery diseases. The present study was aimed to estimate the prevalence of lipid profile abnormalities and 10 yr risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among the adult population in west Tripura district and to study the association of lipid profile abnormalities and increased CVD risk with sociodemography, body mass index (BMI), hypertension, random blood sugar (RBS) and haemoglobin level.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted amongst 445 adults of 20 to 60 yr of age from a randomly selected block in west Tripura district.

Percutaneous Thrombin Injection with Balloon Protection for a Large Iatrogenic Femoral Artery Pseudoaneurysm: A Case Report with Review of Literature.

Iatrogenic femoral artery pseudoaneurysms (IFAPs) are not uncommon due to the increase in various minimally-invasive endovascular procedures. Percutaneous thrombin injection is an established technique for large pseudoaneurysms. When ultrasound-guided compression of an aneurysmal neck is not feasible, percutaneous thrombin injection can be combined with endovascular balloon occlusion to prevent leakage of thrombin into the parent artery.
