Intervention to treat infrapopliteal arterial disease can be challenging because the patients' comorbidities, the anatomic variables, and the limitations of our techniques. Clinical scenarios based on anatomic and clinical variables are presented. Recommendations regarding intervention (appropriate care, may be appropriate care, rarely appropriate care) are made based on best evidence.

Automatic relation extraction provides great support for scientists and database curators in dealing with the extensive amount of biomedical textual data. The DDIExtraction 2013 challenge poses the task of detecting drugdrug interactions and further categorizing them into one of the four relation classes. We present our machine learning system which utilizes lexical, syntactical and semantic ba...

The pathophysiology of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (RAS) includes activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis with resultant renovascular hypertension. Renal artery stenting has emerged as the primary revascularization strategy in most patients with hemodynamically significant atherosclerotic RAS. Despite the frequency with which hemodynamically significant RAS is observed an...
