In this case-control study, we assessed heme/heme-related markers in 142 men with AAA and 279 men with a normal aortic diameter consecutively recruited from an ultrasound screening program in Sweden. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were used to measure heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and...
other studies have identified only basic urine, blood, and stool analyses as recommended tests to exclude organic causes of recurrent abdominal pain.20 In our experience, we recommend a com- bination of blood, urine, stool, and an abdominal ultrasound as the initial investigations in an emergency...

However, no consensus exists regarding the optimal time intervals between ultrasounds.10 Heterogeneity exists in the literature describing AAA growth and rupture, resulting in an inability to aggregate studies.11,12 Rarely is the variability in growth rates between patients reported, a factor that ...
