Measurement of blood flow during exercise is crucial for understanding physiological responses and performance outcomes. However, traditional methods are often invasive, costly, or require substantial training, limiting widespread research in this area. This study introduces the innovative use of limb-affixed ultrasound probe holders for vascular imaging during exercise to overcome these challenges.

Background: AD/ADRD diseases currently impact more than 6 million people in the US. Rare forms of AD/ADRD are caused directly and unambiguously by genetic mutations. However, most AD/ADRD burden is complex in etiology and thought to result from an interplay among multiple incompletely understood genetic, biochemical, lifestyle, environmental and psychosocial risk factors.

Over the past decade, the systems-based multi-omic approaches employed by the Accelerating Medicines Partnership in AD (AMP-AD) have resulted in the identification of promising peripheral markers of disease heterogeneity. This scientific review will highlight these advances with a particular focus on the consortium's successes in peripheral protein biomarker discovery in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma.

Background: Black patients, those with low socioeconomic status (SES), and those living in rural areas have elevated rates of major lower extremity amputation, which may be related to a lack of subspecialty chronic limb-threatening ischemia care. We evaluated the association between race, rurality, SES, and preamputation vascular care.
Methods: Among patients aged 66 to 86 years with fee-for-service Medicare who underwent major lower extremity amputation for chronic limb-threatening ischemia from July 2010 to December 2019, we compared the proportion who received vascular care in the 12 months before amputation by race (Black versus White), rurality, and SES (dual eligibility for Medicaid versus no dual eligibility) using multivariable logistic regression adjusting for clinical and demographic covariates.

Background: Current guidelines recommend preserving at least one of the bilateral pelvic flows in patients with aortoiliac aneurysms. The sandwich parallel graft, using commercially available devices, provides a viable option for patients who fall outside the instructions for use of iliac branch devices. However, gutter endoleak remains a significant challenge.
