Intermittent claudication is frequently associated with atherosclerotic disease, but differential diagnosis must be sought in patients with no traditional risk factors. Cystic adventitial disease, of unknown etiology, most frequently affects the popliteal artery, and occasionally presents as intermittent claudication. We report a case of this disease and the surgical treatment, and discuss some...

For the last three years I have been treating intermittent fevers in Bengal and the Punjab with doses of liquor arsenicalis, and am now in a position to speak contidently on the subject of its beneficial action as an antiperiodic and nervertoner, and advocate its employment as a safe and successful remedy in large dispensary practice. I have used it with the happiest results in several cases of...

Background Intermittent claudication (IC) is traditionally managed with risk factor modification, best medical treatment (BMT), and exercise training. Comorbidities such as diabetes and ischemic heart disease affect both results of invasive treatment and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) negatively. It is unknown how chronic widespread pain (CWP) influences the results of invasive treatmen...

IMPORTANCE The Intermittent Exotropia Questionnaire (IXTQ) is a patient, proxy, and parental report of quality of life specific to children with intermittent exotropia. We refine the IXTQ using Rasch analysis to improve reliability and validity. OBSERVATION Rasch analysis was performed on responses of 575 patients with intermittent exotropia enrolled from May 15, 2008, through July 24, 2013, ...

As digit~l circuits grow in complexity, and as they are used in more and more critical applications, their reliability becomes an important consideration. This directs the attention of researchers involved in this field to two basic questionsfirst, how to design more reliable systems; second, how can something be said about the reliability of a particular system? Causes leading to permanent fai...

PURPOSE The PiCCO System is a relatively new device allowing intermittent cardiac output monitoring by aortic transpulmonary thermodilution technique (Aorta intermittent) and continuous cardiac output monitoring by pulse contour analysis (Aorta continuous). The objective of this study was to assess the level of agreement of Aorta intermittent and Aorta continuous with intermittent (PA intermitt...

Intermittent hypoxia has generally been perceived as a high-risk stimulus, particularly in the field of sleep medicine, because it is thought to initiate detrimental cardiovascular, respiratory, cognitive, and metabolic outcomes. In contrast, the link between intermittent hypoxia and beneficial outcomes has received less attention, perhaps because it is not universally understood that outcome m...

background: the present study aimed to translate and evaluate the reliability and validity of the persian version of the 11-item intermittent and constant osteoarthritis pain (icoap) measure in iranian subjects with knee osteoarthritis (koa). materials and methods: the icoap questionnaire was translated according to the manufacturers alliance for productivity and innovation (mapi) protocol. the...
