The histopathological data about vascular inflammation in Behçet's disease(BD) mainly comprises patients with arterial involvement. Inflammatory cell infiltration was mainly observed around the vasa vasorum and adventitial layer of the aneurysmatic vessels, and only a few cells were seen in the intimal layer during active arteritis. There is limited data for the histopathology of venous inflammation. We recently showed that increased common femoral vein(CFV) wall thickness is a specific sign of vein wall inflammation in BD. We aimed to investigate the different vein subsections measuring the whole wall and the intima-media thickness(IMT) of CFV with ultrasonography in BD. We found increased IMT of CFV compared to controls as well as CFV wall thickness. This study shows that there is a full layer venous wall inflammation in BD independent of vascular involvement. Our results suggest that venous endothelial inflammation may trigger the thickening of the vein wall and cause thrombotic tendency in BD.

Pre-distance assessment from radial artery to lower extremity arterial lesion.
Int J Cardiovasc Imaging

Endovascular treatment (EVT) for patients with lower extremity artery disease is widely used as a less invasive alternative to surgical bypass. Recently, transradial artery intervention has gained popularity owing to its minimally invasive nature. The distance from the radial artery to the target vessel is critical for success; however, effective pre-assessment methods have not yet been established.

Introduction: Older patients may be denied endovascular revascularization of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) for peripheral artery disease (PAD) due to concerns of worse limb outcomes than younger patients.
Methods: We assessed adverse outcomes in patients after an index revascularization stratified by age (age < 65, 65-75 years, and > 75 years) from two centers between 2003 and 2011 and followed a median 9 (25 %-75 %: 7, 11) years. Outcomes included major adverse limb events (MALE) or minor repeat revascularization, death, and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE).
The combination of hip arthroscopy and periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) has been proven safe and effective for addressing symptoms in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). As not every patient with dysplasia will require a hip arthroscopy to obtain desired clinical improvement in the setting of periacetabular osteotomy, a challenge is identifying which patients require adjacent procedures (either via arthroscopic or open) to fully treat their hip pathology. Even though labral repair is the most reported arthroscopic procedure in cases of hip dysplasia, I would suggest that labral treatment is the least likely helpful component of hip arthroscopy in these cases.

Methods: This prospective, multicentre, observational study involved 440 FPIF patients with a minimum one-year follow-up. Data on demographics, clinical features, fracture characteristics, management, and mortality rates were collected and analyzed using both univariate and multivariate analyses.
The role of oxidative stress and antioxidants in older individuals with osteoporotic hip fractures.

Background: Osteoporosis is characteristically defined as a decrease in bone density and mass, accompanied by the deterioration of bone structure, which increases bone fragility and the risk of fractures. Osteoporosis frequently develops with age. In high-risk populations, oxidative damage is a common pathological condition.
