The incidence of abdominal AA in men from 65 to 75 years of age is approximately 1.9% [8], while thoracic AA occurs at a rate of 5–10 per 100,000 person-years in the general population [9]. Aortic rupture is a serious complication progressed by AA, with a mortality rate exceeding ...
Background:Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) impact approximately 6 to 10 individuals per 100,000 people, though the actual prevalence is likely higher due to frequent asymptomatic presentations, posing a challenge for early diagnosis. The rupture of these aneurysms presents a significant risk, resulting...
16-23 A recent database study of 6.4 million patients found that use of fluoroquinolones was associated with a 4-fold increased risk of Achilles tendinopathy, and a 2-fold increased risk of tendon rupture.19 Not only is tendon composed of collagen, collagen is also a major extracellular ...
However, the number of patients hospitalized is likely only a small fraction of the patients who rupture their aneurysm; most will die before they can receive medical attention. It would be impossible, then, to ever acquire data regarding the true incidence of rAAA because in patients who die ...
TAAD encompass a spectrum of aortic pathology affecting the aortic root, the ascending aorta, the aortic arch and the descending thoracic aorta. Thoracic aortic aneurysms, a dilation of the proximal aorta, are known to progressively enlarge over time, ultimately leading to rupture and death if not...
portal hypertension with bleeding from esophageal varices, compression of adjacent structures or rupture into the abdominal cavity, including a few fatalities. There are no reports of spontaneous regression in untreated patients. Treatment has consisted mainly of portosystemic shunts and/or aneurysm excision...
Reductions in ARM from TAA were observed for males and females, irrespective of age and rupture status. The greatest reduction in ARM in the endovascular era was observed in females aged > 80 years with ruptured disease (15.26 deaths per 100 000 vs. 9.50 deaths per 100 000; p < .001)....
International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) Diagnosis or Procedure Codes or Taiwan Health Insurance Service Claims Codes Used to Identify the Positive Control Outcome of Achilles Tendon Rupture and Any Type of Tendon Rupture eTable 8. Study Cohort ...
7,9,10 Current known risk factors for aortic aneurysm development and rupture include age, male sex, tobacco use, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and family history.11 Recent studies have probed the safety of this antibiotic class by assessing populations in Taiwan, Sweden, and Canada—all countries...
10 Migraine A recent case-control study suggested migraine as an independent risk factor for sIA rupture (82). Migraine was not considered as a trigger factor for aSAH but as a risk factor for weakening of the sIA wall (84). Characteristics of sIA The risk of rupture is higher for sIAs ...
