The present study included the results of 154 cases aortoiliac arteriosclerotic obstruction surgically treated at the Clinic for Surgical Diseases--Skopje Yugoslavia. The investigated operative clinical material was divided in to 3 groups. The I group consisted of endarterectomy in 89 patients. The II group had undergone resection of arterosclerotic obstruction in 26 cases. While in the III group a aortofemoral by-pass operation was carried out in 39 cases. In addition, a control group of 16 patients with aortoiliacal arteriosclerotic obstruction were medically treated. Preoperatively all patients were treated by Bergmann, s infusions. In our comparative study we found that the best satisfactory results were obtained by applying each of these methods on selected cases. There were 2 operative deaths.

The purpose of this study was to uncover potential diagnostic indicators of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), evaluate the function of immune cells in the pathogenesis of the disease, and find innovative treatment targets and medicines with the potential to enhance prognosis. Gene Expression Omnibus was utilized to acquire the PAH datasets. We recognized differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and investigated their functions utilizing R software.

Cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) is a stress-response protein that is expressed in various types of cells and acts as an RNA chaperone, modifying the stability of its targeted mRNA. Intracellular CIRP could also be released into extracellular space and once released, extracellular CIRP (eCIRP) acts as a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) to induce and amplify inflammation. Recent studies have found that eCIRP could promote acute lung injury (ALI) via activation of macrophages, neutrophils, pneumocytes and lung vascular endothelial cells in context of sepsis, haemorrhagic shock, intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury and severe acute pancreatitis.

A 77-year-old woman with a history of hypertension underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for hematemesis, and vasodilation with erosion was detected. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography and abdominal angiography revealed a gastric aneurysm penetrating the stomach wall. Endoscopic hemostasis was thought to be not applicable to a ruptured aneurysm.

Introduction: Paradoxically, the literature lacks an assessment of the impact of various factors on subsequent coronary interventions in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).

Aim: To assess the impact of various factors on subsequent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), as well as to characterize the clinical profile of people undergoing repeated diagnostic coronary angiography without significant coronary artery changes.

Material And Methods: We investigated retrospective data from 4041 subjects according to the clinical factors which may affect the occurrence of unplanned future PTCA.

[Treatment of renal artery stenosis in the year 2021].

Internist (Berl)

March 2021

KfH-Nierenzentrum, Maxstraße 48, 67059, Ludwigshafen, Deutschland.

Severe arteriosclerotic stenosis of the renal artery with at least 60-70% narrowing of the lumen can lead to various diseases: in the case of unilateral stenosis it can lead to renovascular hypertension, in the case of bilateral narrowing (or in a stenotic solitary kidney) also to an often progressive renal insufficiency (ischemic kidney disease) and/or to acute pulmonary edema (pulmonary flash edema). Renal artery stenosis may be treated by revascularization using either percutaneous (balloon angioplasty with or without stenting) or less commonly open surgical procedures, both with excellent primary patency rates of over 90%; however, randomized trials of catheter-based interventions have failed to demonstrate a longer term benefit with respect to blood pressure control and renal function as well as improved overall survival over optimal medicinal management alone. Due to improved clinical outcomes interventional revascularization is justified in cases with critical stenoses and clinical sequelae, such as pulmonary flash edema and progressive renal failure.
