INTRODUCTION[|]Seasonal and weather changes may affect the development of pulmonary embolism. The effects of seasonal and meteorological factors on mortality are controversial. We aimed to investigate the effects of seasons and meteorological data on patients with a low and high pulmonary embolism severity index and those with 30-day mortality. [¤]METHODS[|]Pulmonary embolism cases were included in our study. Daily pressure, humidity, temperature, and wind values were taken from the general online information by the Directorate of Meteorology. All cases were divided into the low-risk and high-

The infection of the previously implanted vascular graft at the groin, is associated with great mortality and morbidity rate [1]. The authors present a retrospective study in which they analyzed management of infected vascular prostheses at the groin, using obturator bypass in 26 cases, and "lateral" bypass in 15 cases. The indications for obturator bypass reconstructions included: 20 infections of aorto-femoral grafts, two infected pse udoaneurysms in the groin after RTA of the superficial femoral artery, and 4 infections of iliac-femoral grafts. The indications for lateral bypass reconstruct
