Biomarkers for Type2 asthma are not well described or validated and more research is needed. Breathomics has provided evidence to propose a number of exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as surrogate biomarkers for airway inflammatory phenotypes, disease activity and adherence to therapy. Analysis of urinary eicosanoids has identified eicosanoids related to Type2 and non-Type2 inflammation. Future clinical trials will be important in determining how exhaled VOCs or urinary eicosanoid profiles can be used to direct precision treatments. Their future clinical use will also depend on developing simplified instrumentation for biomarker analysis at the point-of-care.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is increasingly being used in the treatment of as diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). However, definitive evidence regarding its beneficial effects is still scarce. The present systematic review aims to analyse the role of HBOT in the prevention of limb amputation along with improvement of ulcer healing in patients with lower limbs DFU.

Three databases were searched PubMed, Scopus, and ISI Web of Knowledge. The search was enrolled during October 2020. Both titles and abstracts were examined by two independent reviewers. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting a comparison between standard DFU treatment and standard treatment associated with HBOT were included. In all studies eligibility was assessed and data regarding studies characteristics, methods and considered outcomes was obtained. Odds ratio (OR) was used to evaluate amputation and complete ulcer healing rates. Percentage of ulcer reduction at two weeks was evaluated using the inverse variance method, and the valnt HBOT decreases risk of major amputation while promoting wound healing when combined to standard treatment in the management of DFU. These findings may have clinical relevance in a selected group of patients, yet further larger studies are still needed.
Unfortunately, even today Thromboangiitis Obliterans has disease features that remain misunderstood or underappreciated. The epidemiology, etiology and pathophysiology of the disease are still unclear. Biomarkers and disease activity markers are lacking, thus clinical assessment is difficult. We are still struggling to establish unique diagnostic, staging and treatment criteria. This is an academic-collaborative effort to describe the pathophysiology, the clinical manifestations, the diagnostic approach, and the challenges of management of patients with TAO.

A systematic search for relevant studies dating from 1900 to the end of 2020 was performed on the PubMed, SCOPUS, and Science Direct databases.

Given the intriguing nature of presentation of TAO, its management, to some extent is not only different in different regions of the world but also varies within the same region. Following this project, we discovered ambiguity, overlap and lack of clear-cut criteria for management of TAO.

An international group of experts however came to one conclusion. They all agree that management of TAO is in need of a call for action for a renewed global look with multi-center studies, to update the geographical distribution of the disease and to establish a unique set of diagnostic criteria and a consensus-based guideline for best treatment based on current evidence.

Arterial stiffness may be the underlying cause of the divergent sac behavior after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). We evaluated arterial stiffness using pulse wave velocity (PWV) in patients undergoing EVAR for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and demonstrated that arterial stiffness is a predictor for determining sac behavior after EVAR.

One hundred nineteen patients with infrarenal AAA undergoing EVAR between November 2013 and July 2019 were included in this study. Preoperative brachial-ankle PWV was measured using an automated oscillometric method at our vascular laboratory. PWV and other risk factors were assessed with respect to being a risk factor for sac shrinkage at 2 years postoperatively. AZ 960 Univariate and multivariable analyses revealed preoperative PWV (odds ratio [OR] 0.87; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.79-0.98; p = 0.045) and the incidence of operative type II endoleak (OR 0.68; 95% CI 0.10-0.81; p = 0.048) as an independent risk factor for sac shrinkage at 2 year postoperatively. The receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the optimal cutoff value for predicting sac shrinkage was 17.79 m/s, and significantly predicted sac shrinkage.

Preoperative PWV was independently associated with sac shrinkage after EVAR, suggesting that arterial stiffness may be one of the key factors for determining sac behavior after EVAR.

Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) has been selectively used for uncomplicated acute type B Aortic Dissection (TBAD); however, not all cases will benefit from TEVAR. A search for high risk clinical and radiographic predictors for complications is ongoing. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to identify predictors of major adverse events during follow-up of uncomplicated TBAD, in order to identify who might benefit from elective TEVAR.

A systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) statement.

16 studies were included in a qualitative synthesis and 10 in the meta-analysis. Several risk factors associated to major adverse events have been described, including (1) aortic diameter ≥40 mm, (2) greater false lumen diameter (>22mm), (3) patent false lumen, (4) primary entry tear > 10mm, and (5) greater number of false lumen vessels origin. Quantitative synthesis identified an aortic diameter ≥40 mm significantly associated with major adverse events (HR=3.
