Thromboangiitis Obliterans (Buerger's Disease)
Abstract
Thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease) is a nonatherosclerotic segmental inflammatory disease that most commonly affects the small and medium-sized arteries, veins, and nerves of the arms and legs.1 Von Winiwarter first described a patient with thromboangiitis obliterans in 1879.2 Twenty-nine years later, Leo Buerger provided a detailed and accurate description of the pathological findings in 11 amputated limbs.3 Thromboangiitis obliterans differs from other forms of vasculitis in some important ways. Pathologically, there is a highly cellular and inflammatory thrombus with relative sparing of the blood-vessel wall. The acute-phase reactants (as assessed by the Westergren sedimentation rate and serum C-reactive protein level) . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
