Comparison of the risk scoring systems in long term restenosis due to percutaneous interventions to the superficial femoral artery.
Vasa
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Kafkas University School of Medicine, Kars, Turkey.
Percutaneous superficial femoral interventions remain the preferred method of treatment for superficial femoral artery (SFA) disease. Nevertheless, long term restenosis continues to be a major limitation of percutaneous interventions. In this context, the objective of this study is to compare the efficacies of CHA2DS2-VASc, CHA2DS2-VASc-HS, ATRIA, ATRIA-HSV, and HATCH risk scoring systems in predicting long-term (5 years) restenosis due to percutaneous interventions to the superficial femoral artery.

With only 30-40% of patients eligible for surgery upon diagnosis, alternative therapies are imperative. This study assesses the efficacy of Yttrium-90 (Y-90) radioembolization for unresectable ICC patients in a non-university tertiary care center (NUTCC).

Department of Orthopedics, Brown University, Providence, RI.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Objective: Evaluate the utility of Delirium Risk Assessment Score (DRAS), Delirium Risk Assessment Tool (DRAT), and Delirium Elderly At-Risk (DEAR) in patients undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusions.
Background: Surgical interventions can place patients at risk for postoperative delirium (POD), an acute and often severe cognitive impairment associated with poor outcomes.
Differentiating true precocious puberty and puberty variants in consecutive 275 girls: a single center experience.
J Pediatr Endocrinol Metab
January 2025
Department of Pediatric Endocrinology, Kocaeli City Hospital, Kocaeli, Türkiye.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify clinical features of girls referred to a pediatric endocrinology clinic for suspected precocious puberty, differentiate true precocious puberty from other variants, evaluate treatment status, and identify distinguishing factors between patient groups.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the records of 275 consecutive girls aged 0-10 years referred for suspected precocious puberty.
Results: Among the patients, 30 (10.
Costimulation blockade: the next generation.
Curr Opin Organ Transplant
January 2025
Division of Nephrology, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia, USA.
Purpose Of The Review: Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) are central to immunosuppression in kidney transplantation (KT), improving short-term outcomes but falling short in enhancing long-term outcomes due to cardiovascular, metabolic, and renal complications. Belatacept, an FDA-approved costimulation blocker, offers a less toxic alternative to CNIs but is limited by its intravenous administration and reduced efficacy in high-immunological-risk patients.
Recent Findings: Emerging therapies target more specific pathways to improve efficacy and accessibility.
