A Core Head, Neck, and Neuroanatomy Syllabus for Physical Therapy Student Education
ABSTRACT Head, neck, and neuroanatomy are essential components of physical therapy education due to their broad clinical applications. Detailed syllabi exist for medical students, yet none have been developed for physical therapy. This study aimed to produce an International Federation of Associations of Anatomists core head, neck, and neuroanatomy ...

ABSTRACT Background Endovascular therapy (EVT) for chronic total occlusions (CTOs) in patients with critical limb‐threatening ischemia (CLTI) remains technically challenging, particularly in infrapopliteal lesions. Direct injection in occlusive lesions (DIOL) fashion is a novel adjunctive strategy that utilizes hydraulic contrast injection through a ...

Management of Lost Atherectomy Devices in the Coronary Arteries
ABSTRACT Rotational and orbital atherectomy are important tools to treat calcific coronary disease. Entrapment of an atherectomy device, that is, rotational atherectomy burr or orbital atherectomy crown, is a serious complication during atherectomy. Loss of an atherectomy device is a more challenging complication that usually follows device entrapment.

Assessment of occlusive arterial disease of abdominal aorta and lower extremities arteries: value of multidetector CT angiography using an adaptive acquisition method [PDF]
We evaluated 16-detector-row CT in the assessment of occlusive peripheral arterial disease (PAD) of the abdominal aorta and lower extremities using an adaptive method of acquisition to optimise arterial enhancement especially for the distal foot arteries.

Homocysteine in cerebrovascular disease: An independent risk factor for subcortical vascular encephalopathy [PDF]
Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for obstructive large-vessel disease. Here, we studied plasma concentrations of homocysteine and vitamins in patients suffering from subcortical vascular encephalopathy (SVE), a cerebral small-vessel disease leading ...

Drug Coated Balloons Versus Drug‐Eluting Stents in Patients With De Novo Coronary Artery Disease
ABSTRACT Background In patients with de novo coronary artery disease (CAD), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug eluting stent (DES) implantation is the gold standard therapy. New evidence is available with drug coated balloons (DCB) angioplasty. The objective of this meta‐analysis was to compare the efficacy and safety of DCB angioplasty
