AB  - We report the relations between comorbidities and chronic venous disease. In this cross-sectional study, information was gathered from 1679 Serbian patients. The majority (65.0%) of patients were women. Mild forms of chronic venous disease (clinical, etiologic, anatomic and pathophysiologic [CEAP] classification; C0s-C1) were more frequent in women (11.6%), while severe forms (CEAP C4-C6) were more commonly encountered in men (42.1%). The most frequent comorbidity was emphysema/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in both groups (74.3% in males and 70.6% in females). For females, diabetes mellitus (P LT .005), arterial hypertension (P LT .000), and skeletal/joint diseases (P LT .042) were more commonly found in the C4 to C6 category. Both males and females, with severe form of chronic venous disease, may benefit from additional screening for comorbidities. Further studies are needed to clarify the nature of association among comorbidities and chronic venous disease.

AB  - We evaluated the prognostic value of copeptin levels in a cohort of surgical patients after elective carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Twenty-one patients with perioperative stroke were prospectively recruited. The diagnosis of cerebrovascular event (CVE) was confirmed by computed tomography. Additionally, 21 patients with CEA without any complications (control patients) were enrolled. Blood samples were taken within 3 hours of the symptom onset. Circulating copeptin level was significantly higher in patients with CVE when compared to controls (P = .025), and significantly higher in nonsurvivors than in survivors (P = .030) after CVE. Plasma concentrations of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were also elevated in patients with CVE (IL-6: P = .043; CRP: P = .002). We conclude that the activation of the stress axis in patients with CEA results with copeptin elevation, but more so in patients with perioperative stroke. Copeptin may be a helpful biomarker for stroke risk assessment in patients after CEA.
