The work presents an experience with surgical treatment of 32 patients with critical ischemia of the lower extremities developed against the background of two-levels occlusive lesion of the arterial bed of the lower extremities. All the patients had atherosclerosis. Occlusion of the abdominal part of the aorta was the cause of reconstruction of the aorta and iliac arteries in 15 patients, occlusion of the iliac artery - in 14 patients, aneurysm of the abdominal aorta - in 3 patients. In all the patients the proximal lesion was associated with occlusion of the femoral arteries. In addition to proximal reconstruction, retrograde endarterectomy was made with a special instrument from the femoral arteries through the arteriotomy opening intended for distal anastomosis of a synthetic prosthesis. Complete revascularisation of the arterial bed of the lower extremities was obtained in all the patients. There were no lethal outcomes.

Background: To estimate a correlation between change in lung ultrasound aeration score (LUSS) and mortality in patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study in which lung ultrasound, the partial pressure of arterial oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen ratio (PaO/FiO ratio), and static lung compliance were performed for five consecutive days since the diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia (day 1-5) in a 20-bed multidisciplinary intensive care unit in at a tertiary care academic institute in Northern India. A hundred and seventeen ventilated patients were studied for the first 5 days after ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) development.

Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a non-atherosclerotic, non-inflammatory vascular disease of medium-sized arteries that causes abnormal cellular growth in arterial walls and most commonly affects young to middle-aged women (20-50 years of age). While FMD often involves the renal arteries, it can affect any arterial bed. FMD has a characteristic angiographic appearance of a "string of beads.

Recent evidence suggests its potential association with extracranial cardiovascular diseases, including pulmonary hypertension.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB) in patients undergoing proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) internal fixation surgery for intertrochanteric fracture (ITF).
Methods: Retrospective analysis of 95 patients with ITF undergoing PFNA internal fixation surgery in the First People's Hospital of Yong Kang from March 2021 to August 2023 was performed. Among them, 49 patients received general anesthesia (GA; GA group) and 46 patients received S-FICB combined with general anesthesia (S-FICB group).

Aim: To define the association between severe coronary artery disease and widespread atherosclerosis in younger individuals.
Methods: Individuals aged 1-50 years with sudden cardiac death (SCD) from 2019-23, autopsy-proven to be due to coronary artery disease, were identified using the state-wide EndUCD registry. Presence of extra-coronary atherosclerosis greater than modified American Heart Association class III was assessed in 5 arterial beds (intra-cerebral vessels, aorta, carotid, renal and femoral arteries).
