Abstract. Background: Biomarkers reflecting diverse pathophysiological pathways may play an important role in the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (aortic diameter ≥30 mm, AAA), levels of many biomarkers are elevated and correlated to aortic diameter among 65-year-old men undergoing ultrasound (US) screening for AAA. Probands and methods: To evaluate potential relationships between biomarkers and aortic dilatation after long-term follow-up, levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), proneurotensin (PNT), copeptin (CPT), lipoprotein-associated phospholipase 2 (Lp-PLA2), cystatin C (Cyst C), midregional proatrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP), and midregional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) were measured in 117 subjects (114 [97 %] men) aged 47–49 in a prospective population-based cohort study, and related to aortic diameter at US examination of the aorta after 14–19 years of follow-up. Results: Biomarker levels at baseline did not correlate with aortic diameter after 14–19 years of follow up (CRP [r = 0.153], PNT [r = 0.070], CPT [r = –.156], Lp-PLA2 [r = .024], Cyst C [r = –.015], MR-proANP [r = 0.014], MR-proADM [r = –.117]). Adjusting for age and smoking at baseline in a linear regression model did not reveal any significant correlations. Conclusions: Tested biomarker levels at age 47–49 were not associated with aortic diameter at ultrasound examination after 14–19 years of follow-up. If there are relationships between these biomarkers and aortic dilatation, they are not relevant until closer to AAA diagnosis.

The Mean

In order to assess the risk of long-term complications following endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) for common bile duct stones (CBDS), we conducted a cohort study. The study included 1,113 patients who underwent ES for CBDS in six different hospitals in central Sweden between 1977 and 1990. Through the use of the Swedish population registry, each patient was assigned five population-based controls matched for sex and age. Linkage to the Inpatient Registry yielded information on morbidity and mortality for the patients as well as for the controls. After one year of washout, there were 964 patients available for follow-up. The mean age was 70.6 years, 57% were women, and the mean length of follow-up was 8.9 years. The patients’ overall morbidity was significantly higher and we observed a tendency towards increased mortality as well. Recurrent CBDS was diagnosed in 4.1% of the patients. Acute cholangitis with a hazard ratio (HR) of 36 (95%CI 11–119.4) was associated with recurrent CBDS in 39% of the patients. HR for acute pancreatitis was 6.2 (95%CI 3.4–11.3) and only one patient had CBDS at the same time. In conclusion, we consider acute pancreatitis and cholangitis both as probable long-term complications after ES.

Abstract OBJECTIVE The natural course of incidentally discovered small intracranial lesions has not been well discussed. Surgical intervention, including resection and biopsy, could be achieved if the lesion is growing. We present 13 cases with incidentally found, small non-enhancing lesions without related symptoms. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed a series of 13 children with T1 hypointense and T2 hyperintense intracranial lesions less than 20 mm in diameter without enhancement. We excluded the patients with NF-1 or Tuberous sclerosis. RESULTS Most patients underwent MRI for headache unrelated to the lesions. All cases were located supratentorially. The median age of the patients at the initial examination was 8.9 years (range, 2.2–14.6). Of these children, 2 patients (15.3%) underwent surgery because of progression on follow-up MR images. The pathological diagnosis was compatible with diffuse astrocytoma. Patients were followed for a median of 55 months (range, 11–87) and the overall survival rate was 100%. No patient experienced increase in size after 3 years of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS In most patients with small intracranial lesions, the lesions remained stable and conservative management was appropriate. However, in a few cases, the lesions changed in size or quality and surgical intervention was necessary. Long-term follow-up at least 3 years is mandatory.
