Color-coded duplex sonography (CCDS) remains the primary angiological method for most clinical cerebrovascular problems. The application of ultrasound is a non-invasive, cost-effective and arbitrarily repeatable examination technique. Simultaneous acquisition of morphologic B‑mode images and hemodynamic parameters with high temporal and spatial resolution is unequalled by any other neurovascular imaging modality.

Background: In recent years reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis have become major public health problems. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) gene influence the response to oral anticoagulant drugs, which are positively associated with the risk to develop osteoporosis. The aim of the present investigation was to clarify a potential role of CYP2C9 sequence variations and susceptibility to develop osteoporosis.

Vascular access induced complications contribute to the morbidity of patients on regular dialysis treatment. Impaired peripheral perfusion, cardiac stress and nerve lesions are the most common of these complications. In the first part of this paper, angiological problems caused by creating arterio-venous shunts are described.

Infusional, cyclic PGE1 treatment is effective in patients with intermittent claudication and critical limb ischemia (CLI). One of the problems related to chronic PGE1 treatment in vascular diseases due to atherosclerosis is to evaluate the variations of clinical conditions due to treatment in order to establish the number of cycles per year or per period (in severe vascular disease reevaluation of patients should be more frequent) needed to achieve clinical improvement. In a preliminary pilot study a group of 150 patients (mean age 67+/-12 years) with intermittent claudication (walking range from 0 to 500 m) and a group of 100 patients with CLI (45% with rest pain, and 55% gangrene; mean age 68 +/-11 years) the number of PGE1 cycles according to the short-term protocol (STP) needed to produce significant clinical improvement was preliminarily evaluated.

When dealing with feet of diabetic patients, disciplined and structured action on the part of the primary care physician--general practitioner or specialist--will ward off disabling and costly consequences. The physician replaces the patient's missing neuropathic sensibility; he demonstrates leadership during visits by checking the patient's feet, their pulse, look, feel of their skin, temperature, neurologic deficits and state of care. Shoes need to be checked thoroughly.
