Misleading Points in Studies on Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia Using Amputation-Free Survival as the Endpoint

Young-Nam Roh

Amputation-Free Survival (AFS) as a treatment endpoint does not independently assess the direct benefits of vascular intervention in Critical Limb-Threatening Ischemia (CLTI) and has many limitations. Whether in prospective or retrospective study, using AFS as a decisive criterion for evaluating the therapeutic effects is a logical leap and risks erroneous conclusions. Read more

Lack of Correlation between Tuber Number and Cognitive Level in Mild TSC Patients: a Clinical and Genetic Study

Chifari R and Schiavella M

Several reports have suggested that the tuber number may contribute to cognitive impairment occurring in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) patients. As the detection of prognostic factors for cognitive impairment in TSC is particularly important for its high degree of intellectual involvement we aimed to define if cortical tuber number may play a role in cognitive level in mild TSC patients. <...
