Current classifications of chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) are insufficient to identify Rutherford (R) 4 patients with a poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic factors for patients with R4 CLTI who undergo endovascular treatment (EVT) using data from the Tokyo-taMA peripheral vascular intervention research COmraDE (TOMA-CODE) registry and to propose a risk-scoring system. We analyzed the data of 2,248 prospectively enrolled patients from the registry, divided into 3 groups: intermittent claudication (IC), n = 1,185; R4, n = 401; and R5-6, n = 662.

Multilevel lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a prevalent degenerative condition characterized by lower back pain, intermittent claudication, and radicular leg pain. It ranks as one of the primary indications of spinal surgery in patients aged 65 and older. In this study, we aim to compare single-level and multilevel approaches for decompression alone in LSS considering the incidence of complications, reduction in pain score, and rates of surgical revisions.

Objective: In this feasibility study, firstly, we aimed to assess whether intramuscular pH (IMpH) could be measured with a glass-tipped electrode. Secondly, we aimed to explore whether we could monitor changes in skeletal muscle pH before and throughout static (isometric) and after dynamic (treadmill) exercise, comparing individuals with intermittent claudication (IC) to a group of healthy controls.

Methods: Forty participants with IC (mean age ± SD) 68 ± 8) and 40 healthy volunteers (63 ± 10) were recruited.

Introduction: Intermittent claudication is a peripheral artery disease caused by arteriosclerosis. People with intermittent claudication experience leg cramping during walking, with relief of symptoms during rest. Evidence shows that by participating in supervised exercise therapy and smoking cessation programs, people with intermittent claudication can reduce those symptoms and improve health-related quality of life and maximal walking distance while minimizing the need for an operation.
