Do the technical features of carotid eversion affect early restenosis? Design of a prospective multicenter study
Myointimal hyperplasia restenosis remains a concern following carotid endarterectomy. It occurs in about 6% of people. The 3-year rate of stroke after restenosis is 5.2%. Several risk factors for restenosis have been identified, such as smoking, hypertension, female gender, diabetes, dyslipidemia, or small carotid diameter. The primary objective of this prospective multicenter study was to determine whether the technical characteristics of the eversion technique influence the 1-year rate of restenosis.

How To Avoid China ’ s Medicine Monopoly
I want to share a shocking statistic with you… Around 80% of all the pharmaceuticals sold in America — both prescription and over-the-counter — are manufactured in China. I’m talking about drugs for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, blood pressure and blood thinners, diuretics, aspirin, antibiotics, and a big chunk of the world’s insulin and diabetes drugs — just to name a few.1 We don’t even make penicillin anymore. The last penicillin plant in the U.S. closed its doors in 2004. Americans who rely on medicine are now almost entirely at the mercy of a country whose relations with the U.S. have become more ...

Primary Aldosteronism
Am Fam Physician. 2023 Sep;108(3):273-277.ABSTRACTPrimary aldosteronism is the underlying cause of hypertension in primary care settings in approximately 6% of cases, and it is even more common in patients with resistant hypertension. However, it is estimated that only about 2% of patients who have risk factors for primary aldosteronism have been formally tested or diagnosed. The first step in the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism is case detection and involves testing patients who are at risk, including individuals with resistant hypertension, as well as those with well-controlled hypertension and a first-degree relative...

Vasculitis associated with adenosine deaminase 2 deficiency: at the crossroads between Beh çet's disease and autoinflammation. A viewpoint
Reumatismo. 2023 Sep 18;75(3). doi: 10.4081/reumatismo.2023.1578.ABSTRACTAdenosine deaminase 2 deficiency (DADA2) is a rare monogenic vasculopathy caused by loss-of-function homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in ADA2, formerly CECR1 (cat eye syndrome chromosome region 1) gene. The DADA2 phenotype is widely heterogeneous, and patients may present with fever, weight loss, livedo reticularis/racemosa, digital ischemia, cutaneous ulceration, peripheral neuropathy, abdominal pain, bowel perforation, and portal or nephrogenic hypertension. More specific manifestations include early-onset ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke...
