The pathophysiological mechanism of CVD can be characterized by reflux, obstruction, or a combination of both, which leads to increased venous pressure. \u0000Compression therapy remains the gold standard of the conservative treatment of CVD in all stages. The possible forms of compression therapy are elastic stocking, non-elastic and elastic bandages, and intermittent pneumatic compression. Compression bandages have been proven to improve the healing of venous ulcers, in comparison with standard care without compression therapy. \u0000In the last years, inflammation has been shown to play an important role in the pathophysiology of CVD. The influence of the altered shear stress on the endothelial cells (EC) causes EC to release inflammatory molecules, chemokines, vasoactive agents, express selectins, and prothrombotic precursors such as ICAM-1, MCP-1, MIP 1β, VCAM, L-selectin, E-selectin, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12p40, IL-13, G-CSF, GM-CSF, IFN-γ, TNF-α, MIP-1α. \u0000Several studies were performed to investigate the influence of compression therapy on the level of various inflammatory biomarkers in patients with CVD.

There are three main types of aortic aneurysms: real, pseudo and dissecting. The most common aneurysms are abdominal aortic aneurysms defined as vasodilatation equal to or above 30 mm. Abdominal aortic aneurysm development is usually asymptomatic. Many various risk factors have been linked to AAA development. The pathophysiology of AAA is associated with inflammation, smooth muscle cells apoptosis and matrix degradation. The changes always result from imbalance between active matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors – TIMPs. \u0000 Abdominal aorta is the most common location for the aneurysm. The risk of developing AAA increases with age. It is more common in men. Its rupture is associated with a high risk of death. The pathogenesis of AAA is complex and still not fully understood. In pathophysiological processes, aortic wall degeneration and atherosclerosis dominate. The factors involved in the pathogenesis of AAA and TAA are not quite the same. Important factors involved in the formation of AAA and increasing the risk of its rupture are MMPs. Also, polymorphisms of numerous genes have been associated with the risk of developing AAA. The two groups of factors related to AAA formation and development are presented and discussed in this work.","PeriodicalId":41754,"journal":{"name":"Acta Angiologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49032903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy of contrast density measurements (differences) in all pulmonary veins and the left atrium for the prediction of PE. Materials and Methods: 75 patients with PE and 22 patients without PE on CTPA were included. 4 readers measured the enhancement of the blood in the pulmonary vein immediately before the entrance to the left atrium, right after the aperture, in the center of the left atrium, in the pulmonary trunk and in the aorta. Enhancement of the pulmonary veins with and without upstream PE, and ROC curves with HU thresholds for optimal sensitivity and specificity for PE were calculated. Results: More PEs were found in the right and lower lobes. PE-affected lobes demonstrated 13.8+/-45 HU less enhancement in the pulmonary vein, compared to a paired non-affected pulmonary vein of the same patient (P < 0.0001). On average, non-affected pulmonary veins demonstrated no difference in enhancement compared to each other: 0.2 +/-21 HU. The optimal cutoff level in the ROC curve analysis for PE affection proved to be decreasing enhancement in the pulmonary vein of more than 10 HU, compared to the atrium. Conclusion: Decreasing enhancement in the pulmonary vein of more than 10 HU compared to the atrium could provide additional information and confidence in the diagnosis of PE.","PeriodicalId":41754,"journal":{"name":"Acta Angiologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43528979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Material and methods: Lower extremity venous ultrasonography was performed on 290 subjects (64 men and 226 women; mean age = 71.9 ± 7.9 years) at 44 months after the disaster. All subjects completed questionnaires to gather information about their background factors which included the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale: K6. Results: The DVT detection rate was 10.7% in the temporary group. In the non-temporary group, it was 11.3% among the subjects who previously lived in temporary housing. For the subjects who were living in their own homes it was 9.2%. Psychological distress levels measured by K6 were significantly higher in the temporary housing group than in the non-temporary housing group. The multivariate analysis showed that the background factor associated with DVT risk was SV (soleal vein) dilatation in all subjects as well as in the non-temporary housing group, while hypertension and use of sleeping pills were found to be the factors in the temporary housing group. Conclusions: DVT detection rates were similar between the temporary and non-temporary housing groups, and were higher than that in the Japanese general population. The psychological distress level of the tsunami victims measured by K6 was also higher in the temporary housing group than in the non-temporary housing group.

Material and methods: The study included 72 patients, with a group of patients taking ASA on a permanent basis and a group of patients in whom treatment was implemented after the procedure. Patients were also divided according to the antiplatelet therapy applied, either double-therapy, or ASA monotherapy. Daily doses were 75 mg. Three methods were used for the evaluation of the platelet function: IVY bleeding time, cytometric evaluation of platelet surface antigen (CD62p and CD63) expression and hemostasis measurement by PFA-200®. Results: In the PFA-200 analysis, ASA resistance was found in 37.8% (64.7% were tobacco smokers) before surgery. Patients not taking ASA before, after PTA and first dose of ASA presented resistance in 63%. The first dose of clopidogrel after surgery was associated with resistance in 73.7%. Significant differences in the expression of CD62p and CD63 markers before and after PTA were observed. According to IVY method, aspirin resistance was found in 40% of patients permanently receiving ASA. Conclusions: Patients with PAD who undergo PTA are resistant to ASA in 40%, smoking is associated with this phenomenon. PTA increases the expression of CD62P and CD63, and thus the platelet activation, which is not adequately prevented by antiplatelet drugs at a dose of 75 mg. Dual antiplatelet therapy reduces the activation of thrombocytes more than the monotherapy of ASA.","PeriodicalId":41754,"journal":{"name":"Acta Angiologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43793816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
