    Abstract Objectives: Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a rare condition where musculoskeletal structures compress the popliteal artery (POPA) leading to vascular compromise. This study investigates the effect of dynamic plantar- and dorsi-flexion loading on POPA hemodynamic parameters to develop a robust diagnostic ultrasound-based protocol for diagnosing functional PAES.
    Methods: Healthy individuals (n = 20), recreational athletes (n = 20), and symptomatic (n = 20) PAES patients were consented. Triplex ultrasound imaging of lower limb arteries was performed (n = 120 limbs). Proximal and distal POPA's in dorsi-/plantar-flexion, in prone and erect positions, were imaged at rest and flexion. Peak systolic velocities (cm/s) and vessel diameter (antero-posterior, cm) was measured.
    Results: Distal vessel occlusion was noted across all three groups whilst prone during plantar-flexion (62.7%). POPA occlusion was only noted in the proximal vessel within the patient group (15.8%). When prone, 50% of control (n = 40 limbs), 70% of athletes (n = 40 limbs), and 65% of patients (n = 40 limbs) had distal POPA occlusion in plantar-flexion. When prone, recreational athletes (5%), and patients (12.5%) had distal POPA compression under dorsi-flexion. POPA occlusions with the patient in erect position were only noted in the symptomatic patient group under both dorsi-flexion (15.8%) and plantar-flexion (23.7%).
    Conclusion: Compression of the POPA on ultrasound should not be the sole diagnostic criteria for PAES. POPA compression exists in asymptomatic individuals, primarily under prone plantar-flexion. To reduce false positives, ultrasound-based protocols should focus on scanning patients in the erect position only to diagnose PAES, rather than asymptomatic POPA compression. A distinction should be made between the two.

    Abstract Quantification of peripheral nerve regeneration after injury relies upon subjective outcome measures or electrophysiology assessments requiring fully regenerated neurons. Nerve surgeons and researchers lack objective, quantifiable information on the site of surgical repair and regenerative front. To address this need, we developed a quantifiable, visual, clinically available measure of early peripheral nerve regeneration using high-frequency, three-dimensional, tomographic ultrasound (HFtUS). We conducted a prospective, longitudinal study of adult patients with ulnar and/or median nerve injury of the arm undergoing direct epineurial repair within 5 days of injury. Assessment of morphology, volumetric and 3D grey-scale quantification of cross-sectional views were made at baseline up to 15 months post-surgery. Sensory and motor clinical outcome measures and patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) were recorded. Five participants were recruited to the study. Our data demonstrated grey-scale values (an indication of axonal density) increased in distal stumps within 2-4 months after repair, returning to normal as regeneration completed (4-6 months) with concomitant reduction in intraneural volume as surgical oedema resolved. Two patients with abnormal regeneration were characterized by increased intraneural volume and minimal grey-scale change. HFtUS may quantify early peripheral nerve regeneration offering a window of opportunity for surgical intervention where early abnormal regeneration is detected.

    Abstract Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) are a group of emerging bacterial pathogens that have been identified in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with microbial lung infections. The treatment of NTM infection in CF patients is challenging due to the natural resistance of NTM species to many antibiotics. Mycobacterium abscessus is one of the most common NTM species found in the airways of CF patients. In this study, we characterized the extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by drug-sensitive M. abscessus untreated or treated with clarithromycin (CLR), one of the frontline anti-NTM drugs. Our data show that exposure to CLR increases mycobacterial protein trafficking into EVs as well as the secretion of EVs in culture. Additionally, EVs released by CLR-treated M. abscessus increase M. abscessus resistance to CLR when compared to EVs from untreated M. abscessus. Proteomic analysis further indicates that EVs released by CLR-treated M. abscessus carry an increased level of 50S ribosomal subunits, the target of CLR. Taken together, our results suggest that EVs play an important role in M. abscessus resistance to CLR treatment.

    Abstract (1) Background: This retrospective Romanian study aimed to calculate the rate of, and comparison between, amputation and revascularisation for patients with either cardiovascular or diabetic comorbidities. (2) Materials: In our hospital-based database, we analysed patient-level data from a series of 61 hospitals for 2019, which covers 44.9% of the amputation patients for that year. The national database is compiled by the national houses of insurance and was used to follow amputations and revascularisations between 2016 and 2021. (3) Results: During the six-year period, the mean number of amputations and revascularisations was 72.4 per 100,000 inhabitants per year for both groups. In this period, a decline in open-surgical revascularisation was observed from 58.3% to 47.5% in all interventions but was not statistically significant (r = -0.20,

    Abstract Objective: A novel carotid quick scan (CQS) protocol was developed to rapidly screen for carotid atherosclerosis greater than 50% stenosis in a vascular outpatient setting. This study assessed accuracy and time saved.
    Material & methods: The CQS was developed by consensus agreement between vascular surgeons and accredited clinical vascular scientists through a modified Delphi technique. The protocol comprised a rapid B-mode then colour flow transverse sweep of the common and internal carotid arteries, with internal carotid artery velocity assessment. One hundred outpatients attending with peripheral artery disease or abdominal aortic aneurysm were recruited. CQS sensitivity, specificity and accuracy was assessed against a conventional full carotid duplex study, performed to UK and ESVS guidelines.
    Results: Twenty four percent of patients (n = 100) had >50% carotid NASCET stenosis. CQS achieved an excellent accuracy of 96.5% in detecting >50% stenosis when compared to full duplex; Cohen's ƙ = .88, (95%CI .79-.97;
    Conclusion: CQS as a carotid screening tool is rapid, accurate and acceptable to the population and workforce. It would be simple to roll out in all vascular laboratories to reduce the time and cost burden of excluding significant carotid disease in any group.
