Prevalence of lower extremities peripheral arterial disease among Egyptian ischemic patients attending cardiac rehabilitation unit.

Background: Atherosclerosis is progressive and diffuse pathological disorders which can simultaneously affect multiple vascular beds. Diagnosing Lower extremities peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with Coronary artery disease (CAD) admitted to cardiac rehabilitation program can help to tailor exercise regimen to fit these patients, in addition, early treatment and/or intervention may help to control progression of the disease.

Aim: The study is to search for the prevalence of undiagnosed PAD using ankle brachial index (ABI) in Egyptian patients with documented CAD undergoing cardiac rehabilitation program.

Surgical management of dysthyroid diplopia with preservation of the anterior ciliary vascularization: review of ten cases.

Purpose: During the surgical correction of dysthyroid diplopia, the risk of ischemia by transection of the anterior ciliary arteries is well-known. In order to avoid this, we modified the classical surgical technique: (1) through the preservation of the vascular pedicles during muscle recession and (2) if necessary, through a plication (instead of a resection) of the ipsilateral antagonist muscle. The objective to be achieved is thus the resolution of the diplopia without ischemic complications.

[Cavernous hemangioma in the orbital apex revealed by optic neuropathy].

Cavernous hemangioma is the most common primary vascular neoplasm. It typically occurs in middle-aged women, causing a progressive painless proptosis as the principal symptom. It exceptionally compresses the optic nerve.
