Objective. To assess the score of SOC (sense of coherence), BDI (Beck Depression Scale), STAI ( State and Trait Anxiety Inventory) in three examined groups and correlation of SOC score with sociodemographic data, anxiety and depression. Methods. The SOC, BDI, STAI questionnaires were given to 51 patients after limb amputation, 65 patients after vertebral surgery because of chronic back pain and 40 persons in the control group. Results. Patients after limb amputation achieved the same level of SOC score as the control group. Patients who had higher results on the SOC score rarely suffered from phantom pain. Patients after spine surgery had a lower level on the SOC score than the control group. A lower score of SOC was observed in older, unemployed, poorer educated, subjects taking medicine, who did not report improvement after operation. Patients after limb amputation and patients after spinal surgery were more depressed and anxious than healthy people. Conclusion. Patients with higher SOC results, in both examined groups, were less depressed and anxious.

Background: Krabbe disease (KD; globoid cell leucodystrophy) is a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disorder that affects the white matter of the peripheral and central nervous. Late-onset KD is less frequently diagnosed and often presents with milder symptoms, making accurate diagnosis challenging, especially when distinguishing it from peripheral neuropathy. In this report, we present two cases of late-onset KD in a Chinese family.

Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of endovascular coiling combined with tissue glue embolism for the treatment of iliac arteriovenous fistula (AVF) secondary to deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities. In addition, we aim to summarize the treatment methods and enhance understanding of the disease.
Methods: This research analyzes the clinical data and medical imaging materials of 20 cases with iliac AVF secondary to lower extremity DVT, ranging from December 2014 to December 2020, at our hospital.
Assessment of safety and effectiveness after percutaneous closure for decannulation of Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has emerged as a crucial component of critical care medicine, mainly as a lifesaving intervention for patients experiencing refractory cardiac arrest and respiratory failure.
Background: In the past, VA-ECMO decannulation was surgical and often associated with a high rate of periprocedural complications, such as surgical site infection, bleeding, and patient mobilization costs. To reduce the rate of these adverse events, many percutaneous techniques utilizing suture-mediated closing devices have been adopted.
Background: There are little available data about the impact of geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) on clinical outcomes following endovascular therapy (EVT) in chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) regarding the severities of renal dysfunction (RD).
Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of GNRI on clinical outcomes following EVT in CLTI regarding the severities of RD.
Methods: We enrolled 705 consecutive CLTI cases treated with EVT between January 2010 and December 2019 at our hospital.
