Focused issue on vascular disease in women available now
(SAGE) Vascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and death worldwide. There are important sex-related differences in risk factors, clinical manifestations, and therapeutic outcomes in peripheral vascular diseases, including peripheral artery disease (PAD), venous thromboembolism (VTE), and aortic disease. In addition, some vascular conditions predominantly affect women. With this in mind, Vascular Medicine, the official journal of the Society for Vascular Medicine, dedicated its April 2017 issue to the topic of Vascular Disease in Women.

What methods do reviews of normative ethics literature use for search, selection, analysis, and synthesis? In-depth results from a systematic review of reviews
ConclusionReviews which fail to provide sufficient relevant information to readers have reduced methodological transparency regardless of actual methodological quality. In order to increase the internal validity (i.e. reproducibility) as well as the external validity (i.e. utility for the intended audience) of future reviews of normative literature, we suggest more accurate reporting regarding the goal of the review, the definition of the information unit, the ethical approach used, and technical aspects.

Wartime Vascular Injury.
Authors: Rasmussen T, Stockinger Z, Antevil J, White C, Fernandez N, White J, White P Abstract Wartime vascular injury can be particularly challenging due to the complexity of the case, concomitant injuries, resource limitations, and often lack of expertise of the operating surgeon. The proliferation of vascular shunting has been of particular importance as a damage control surgery technique to restore perfusion and temporize the immediate need for definitive repair necessary for limb salvage, particularly in austere locations. Diagnosis of vascular injury can be made using a variety of techniques, from physical ex...

Cost Model Analysis Of Gore® Propaten® Vascular Graft Verse. Standard Eptfe Vascular Graft For Infrapopliteal Bypass In Peripheral Arterial Disease (pad) Management: Spanish Scenario
Demonstrate the cost savings of using the GORE® PROPATEN® Vascular Graft compared to standard ePTFE vascular grafts in the management of PAD patients. Superior clinical outcomes in terms of primary / secondary patency and limb salvage rates result in lower average per-patient treatment costs. Background: Vascular bypass is used in patients with PAD (Peripheral Arterial Disease) to treat ischemic rest pain, to improve walking distance in patients with severe life-limiting claudication, and to save limbs that might otherwise require amputation.
