Abstract Criteria for the classification of giant cell (temporal) arteritis were developed by comparing 214 patients who had this disease with 593 other forms vasculitis. For traditional format , 5 criteria selected: age ≥50 years at onset, new onset localized headache, temporal artery tenderness or decreased pulse, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (Westergren) mm/hour, and biopsy sample including an artery, showing necrotizing arteritis, characterized a predominance mononuclear...
Abstract Criteria for the classification of Takayasu arteritis were developed by comparing 63 patients who had this disease with 744 control other forms vasculitis. Six criteria selected traditional format : onset at age ≤40 years, claudication an extremity, decreased brachial artery pulse, >10 mm Hg difference in systolic blood pressure between arms, a bruit over subclavian arteries or aorta, and arteriographic evidence narrowing occlusion entire its primary branches, large proximal...
Abstract Criteria for the classification of Churg‐Strauss syndrome (CSS) were developed by comparing 20 patients who had this diagnosis with 787 control other forms vasculitis. For traditional format , 6 criteria selected: asthma, eosinophilia >10% on differential white blood cell count, mononeuropathy (including multiplex) or polyneuropathy, non‐fixed pulmonary infiltrates roentgenography, paranasal sinus abnormality, and biopsy containing a vessel extravascular eosinophils. The presence...
Abstract Criteria for the classification of Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) were developed by comparing 85 patients who had this disease with 722 control other forms vasculitis. For traditional format , 4 criteria selected: abnormal urinary sediment (red cell casts or >5 red blood cells per high power field), findings on chest radiograph (nodules, cavities, fixed infiltrates), oral ulcers nasal discharge, and granulomatous inflammation biopsy. The presence 2 more these was associated a...
Critical limb ischemia, first defined in 1982, was intended to delineate a subgroup of patients with threatened lower extremity primarily because chronic ischemia. It the intent original authors that diabetes be excluded or analyzed separately. The Fontaine and Rutherford Systems have been used classify risk amputation likelihood benefit from revascularization by subcategorizing into two groups: ischemic rest pain tissue loss. Due demographic shifts over last 40 years, especially dramatic...
In this article, the 2009 European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) recommendations for management of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) have been updated. The were on primary small and medium vessel vasculitis. 2015 update has developed by an international task force representing EULAR, Renal Association Vasculitis Society (EUVAS). are based upon evidence from systematic literature reviews, as well expert opinion where appropriate. presented was...
Criteria for the classification of polyarteritis nodosa were developed by comparing 118 patients who had this disease with 689 control other forms vasculitis. For traditional format classification, 10 criteria selected: weight loss greater than or equal to 4 kg, livedo reticularis, testicular pain tenderness, myalgias, mononeuropathy polyneuropathy, diastolic blood pressure 90 mm Hg, elevated urea nitrogen serum creatinine levels, presence hepatitis B reactants in serum, arteriographic...
It is now 10 years since the last technical review on preventative foot care was published (1), which followed by an American Diabetes Association (ADA) position statement preventive in diabetes (2). Many studies have been proposing a range of tests that might usefully identify patients at risk ulceration, creating confusion among practitioners as to screening should be adopted clinical practice. A task force therefore assembled ADA address and concisely summarize recent literature this area...
Abstract Criteria for identifying Henoch‐Schönlein Purpura (HSP) and distinguishing HSP from other forms of systemic arteritis were developed by comparing the manifestations in 85 patients who had with those 722 control vasculitis. By traditional format choosing different combinations candidate criteria their ability to separate cases controls, 4 identified: age ≤20 years at disease onset, palpable purpura, acute abdominal pain, biopsy showing granulocytes walls small arterioles or venules....

We studied the clinical features and course (average follow-up time, 18 months) of 27 patients with acute dilated cardiomyopathy (symptoms for less than 6 who were referred endomyocardial biopsy. Almost 40 per cent subsequently had a rise in left ventricular ejection fraction (on average, from 0.21 to 0.41) substantial improvement heart failure; remainder died or chronic cardiomyopathy. Biopsy revealed myocarditis patients, this finding was especially common (89 cent) been ill four weeks....
Abstract The International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) has published evidence‐based guidelines prevention and management of diabetic foot disease since 1999. This guideline is diagnosis, prognosis, peripheral artery (PAD) in patients with ulcers diabetes updates previous IWGDF Guideline. Up to 50% ulceration have concurrent PAD, which confers a significantly elevated risk adverse limb events cardiovascular disease. We know that treatment these are markedly different who do not...
The International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) has been publishing evidence-based guidelines prevention and management of diabetic foot disease since 1999. This publication represents a new guideline addressing use classifications ulcers in routine clinical practice reviews those which have published. We only consider systems classification used for active do not include that might be to define risk future ulceration. are based review available literature expert opinion leading...
Foot problems in diabetes are common and costly, people with make up about half of all hospital admissions for amputations. In the United Kingdom, account more than 40% hospitalizations major amputations 73% emergency room minor Because most preceded by foot ulceration, a thorough understanding causes management ulceration is essential. This treatise will therefore focus on pathways that result ulcer development, importance regular screening to identify members at-risk population, multiple...
Recommendations Examine a patient with diabetes annually for the presence of peripheral artery disease (PAD); this should include, at minimum, taking history and palpating foot pulses. (GRADE strength recommendation: strong; quality evidence: low) Evaluate ulcer PAD. Determine, as part examination, ankle or pedal Doppler arterial waveforms; measure both systolic pressure brachial index (ABI). (strong; We recommend use bedside non‐invasive tests to exclude No single modality has been shown be...
