Article Abstract
Aging-related changes to biological structures such as cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems contribute to the development of comorbid conditions including cardiovascular disease and frailty, and ultimately lead to premature death. Although, frail older adults often demonstrate both cardiovascular and musculoskeletal comorbidities, the etiology of sarcopenia, and especially the contribution of cardiovascular aging is unclear. Aging-related vascular calcification is prevalent in older adults and is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease and death. The effect vascular calcification has on function during aging is not well understood. Emerging findings suggest vascular calcification can impact skeletal muscle perfusion, negatively affecting nutrient and oxygen delivery to skeletal muscle, ultimately accelerating muscle loss and functional decline. The present review summarizes existing evidence on the biological mechanisms linking vascular calcification with sarcopenia during aging.

Comparison of Vascular Injury From Intravascular Lithotripsy, Cutting, or Ultra-High-Pressure Balloons During Coronary Calcium Modification.
JACC Cardiovasc Interv
September 2025
CVPath Institute, Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA; University of Maryland, School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Electronic address:
Background: Effective modification of heavily calcified coronary lesions is critical for successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL), cutting balloons (CBs), and ultra-high-pressure balloons (UHBs) are used commonly, yet data comparing their effectiveness and safety for calcified lesion modification remain unavailable.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of IVL, a CB, and a UHB on calcified coronary lesions in human cadaveric arteries, focusing on calcium fracture formation and vascular injury.
Very-High-Frequency Ultrasonographic Profiling Characteristics of Nodular Hidradenoma: A Retrospective Analysis.
Int J Gen Med
September 2025
Department of Dermatology, Hangzhou Third People's Hospital, Hangzhou Third Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou, People's Republic of China.
Background: Nodular hidradenoma (NH) is a rare benign adnexal tumor originating from sweat glands, often misdiagnosed due to nonspecific clinical manifestations. Ultrasonography (US) plays a critical role in the diagnosis of skin tumors, yet systematic descriptions of its sonographic features remain limited.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the very-high-frequency (VHF) characteristics of eccrine nodular hidradenoma (ENH) and establish key imaging criteria to differentiate it from other cutaneous/subcutaneous lesions.
Hybrid Endovascular Repair Combined With Surgical Hematoma Evacuation for a Giant Ruptured Spontaneous Femoral Artery Pseudoaneurysm.

Vascular Surgery, Conde S. Januário Hospital, Macao, CHN.
Spontaneous femoral artery pseudoaneurysms (SFAPs) represent a rare vascular entity. We report the successful hybrid management of a large, wide-necked ruptured SFAP in an 85-year-old male. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) confirmed a massive pseudoaneurysm originating from the distal right superficial femoral artery (SFA) with severe circumferential arterial calcification.

Objective: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) and osteoporosis are common age-related conditions that may share underlying mechanisms such as inflammation and lipid dysregulation. Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] has been suggested as a potential contributor to both processes. This study aims to investigate the relationship between CAC, bone mineral density (BMD), and Lp(a) levels in a statin-naive elderly population.

Background: Vascular calcification represents ectopic deposition of calcium phosphate in the arterial wall. Component analysis of calcifications using dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) has helped to elucidate arteriosclerosis, but reports examining carotid calcified plaque remain lacking. The present study qualitatively evaluated calcifications using DECT in patients with stroke in our institution.
