SS23 Clinical Outcomes and Cost Effectiveness of Initial Treatment Strategies for Non-Embolic Acute Limb Ischemia in Real-Life Clinical Settings [PDF]
ObjectiveThe optimal initial treatment for patients with acute limb ischemia (ALI) remains undefined. Although clinical outcome data are inconsistent, catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) with tissue plasminogen activator is increasingly used.

Brachial plexopathy:a case-control study of the relation to physical exposures at work [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Work-related upper limb disorders constitute a diagnostic challenge. However, patterns of neurological abnormalities that reflect brachial plexus dysfunction are frequent in limbs with pain, weakness and/or numbness/tingling. There is limited
