Objective: Primary objective is to identify risk factors of endometriotic-cyst associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). Secondary objective is to evaluate the clinical characteristics of EAOC patients.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted by analyzing data of patients from 1999 to 2014. Cases were endometriotic-cyst associated ovarian cancer with pathologically confirmed diagnosis. Controls were randomly selected with year-matched patients with benign ovarian endometriotic cyst. Univariate and multivariate with logistic regression analyses were used to identify patients' characteristics that were risk factors for endometriotic-cyst associated ovarian cancer.
Results: Altogether, 158 controls and 79 EAOC cases were recruited. Mean age of the EAOC group was 13 years older than that of the control group (49 vs. 36 years). The most common stage of EAOC was stage I (59.74%). Clear cell subtype is the most commonly found in this population (60.76%). Univariate analysis showed that age ≥42 years, menopause, weight loss, cyst diameter ≥8.33 cm, presence of solid area, bilaterality and CA 125 higher than 117.6 units/ml were significant. Multivariate analysis showed that patients with age ≥42 years (OR 7.69, 95%CI: 2.47, 23.87), menopause (OR 33.19, 95%CI: 2.37, 465.12), weight loss (OR 11.94, 95%CI: 1.52, 94.08), cyst diameter ≥ 8.3 cm (OR 10.56, 95%CI: 4.39, 25.35) and presence of solid area by ultrasonography (OR 6.70, 95%CI: 2.19, 22.35) were significant risk factors for EAOC.
Conclusion: Advanced age, menopause, weight loss, cyst diameter ≥ 8.33 cm and presence of solid area from ultrasonography were important risk factors for EAOC.

Background: Due to the heterogeneity of literature findings, stent type selection for the endovascular treatment of complex aorto-iliac occlusive disease remains challenging. The BELSTREAM study, a physician-initiated, prospective, multicenter, single-arm study, aims to report the safety and efficacy of the balloon expandable LifeStream Peripheral Stent Graft System (BD, Tempe, Arizona, USA) for the treatment of complex TASC C and D aorto-iliac artery lesions.
Methods: Seventy patients and 133 lesions were included at six Belgian institutions.
Optimizing the life of vascular access during follow-up.

Optimizing the longevity of vascular access in hemodialysis patients remains a critical aspect of patient care, given the significant role of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) in enabling effective dialysis. Vascular access complications, such as stenosis, thrombosis, and cannulation-related damage, continue to challenge both the functionality and the sustainability of these access points. Recent advancements underscore the importance of a robust follow-up strategy, integrating clinical evaluations with diagnostic tools like color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) and emerging interventional approaches such as drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty.

Background: The aging population presents a significant public health challenge, particularly concerning mental health and injury prevention. Anxiety and depression are common among the older adult, affecting their quality of life and increasing the risk of unintentional injuries (UI). This study aims to explore the association between anxiety and depression and UI risk among the older adult in Guangxi, China, using data from the 2023 National Health Service Survey.
