Takayasu Arteritis in a 55‐Year‐Old Woman With Prior Mycobacterium leprae Infection: A Possible Postinfectious Association

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a rare large‐vessel vasculitis affecting the aorta and its major branches. Although autoimmune mechanisms are central, prior mycobacterial infections have been hypothesized to contribute to the disease onset. A 55‐year‐old South Asian woman with a history of vitiligo and treated multibacillary leprosy presented with

Cross-phenotype analysis of Immunochip data identifies KDM4C as a relevant locus for the development of systemic vasculitis. [PDF]

, 2018
OBJETIVE: Systemic vasculitides represent a heterogeneous group of rare complex diseases of the blood vessels with a poorly understood aetiology. To investigate the shared genetic component underlying their predisposition, we performed the first cross ...

Effectiveness of Four‐Limb Blood Pressure in Distinguishing Between Aortic Stenosis and Bilateral Lower‐Extremity Arterial Stenosis

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, Volume 27, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT In this study, we investigated the applicability of the ankle–brachial index (ABI) and brachial–ankle index (BAI) in distinguishing aortic stenosis (AS) from lower‐extremity arterial stenosis. The difference between the ABI on both sides (∆ABI) was defined as the absolute value of the left ABI minus the right ABI. Lower BAI (L‐BAI) was defined
