Abstract

To report the midterm outcomes of treating prosthetic peripheral and aortic graft infections using a biosynthetic collagen prosthesis in a tertiary vascular center. A retrospective analysis of all patients with prosthetic peripheral and aortic graft infections who underwent in situ reconstruction using a biosynthetic collagen prosthesis between March 2015 and November 2020 was conducted. Perioperative and midterm outcomes were analyzed. A biosynthetic collagen prosthesis was used in 19 patients (14 males, median age 66 years) to reconstruct the femoral artery (n = 6), iliac artery (n = 1), and infrarenal aorta (n = 12). All patients were treated for a prosthetic vascular graft infection. The median follow-up period was 26.6 months (range 1-66 months). The 30-day graft failure rate was 15.7% (n = 3), leading to a major amputation in one patient (5.3%). All grafts were occluded aortofemoral reconstructions in patients with occluded superficial femoral artery and were treated by immediate thrombectomy. The 30-day mortality rate was 5.3% (n = 1), and survival after 3 years was 63.2%. The reinfection rate was 5.3% (n = 1). At 13.6 months, the occlusion of a femoral graft was detected in 5.3% (n = 1) and was treated with a new interp...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
