The purpose of this study was to define the incidence of @entity729 in @entity1 with @entity8674 . @entity8674 @entity1 have been shown to present a high prevalence of @entity12978 and @entity272 characteristic of @entity12977 ( @entity12977 ). Given the fact that vascular involvement in the form of @entity729 is also a common manifestation of @entity12977 , the authors investigated radiographically the presence of @entity729 in @entity8674 @entity1 . They studied 40 @entity1 with @entity8674 over 30 years of age. Forty healthy, age- and sex-matched subjects were chosen as a control group. Radiographs of the tibias were performed in order to disclose @entity729 . The occurrence of @entity272 and of @entity12978 ( @entity12978 ) was also investigated. @entity729 were detected in the posterior tibial artery in 22 (55%) @entity8674 @entity1 and in six (15%) controls (P < 0.01 for the comparison). @entity272 and @entity12978 were found in eight (20%) and 21 (52%) @entity1 respectively. A total of 34 @entity1 (85%) had at least one of the three lesions, namely, @entity729 , @entity12978 , and/or @entity12977 -like @entity272 . Stepwise logistic regression analysis did not reveal prognostic value in independent variables such as transfusions, chelation therapy, @entity12977 @entity272 and/or @entity12978 , @entity6 , hemoglobin, serum ferritin, and @entity414 . It was concluded that @entity729 are common in older @entity8674 @entity1 . This finding could be a manifestation of an acquired @entity12977 associated with @entity8674 , and consequently, vascular events complicating @entity12977 should be expected in these @entity1 .
