Acta Biomedica Scientifica, 2020 Background: The prevalence of varicose veins of small pelvic veins in women of reproductive age varies widely – from 5.4 to 80 %, due to the low specificity and low sensitivity of clinical diagnostic techniques, and the absence of biomarkers that can be ...

Pulsatile varicose veins: an uncommon presentation of a common condition
Jornal Vascular Brasileiro, 2021 Varicose veins of the lower limbs are common. However, pulsatile varicose veins are unusual. They could be an indicator of a sinister underlying pathology, such as severe cardiac dysfunction.

Characterisation and optimisation of foams for varicose vein sclerotherapy [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In this study we characterise the properties of foams used for varicose vein sclerotherapy. Their effectiveness is evaluated by predicting their yield stress and their flow profiles within a model of a vein. This information is represented using a Bingham number, which also takes into account the foam liquid fraction and the Sauter mean of the bubble ...

Artificial Neural Networks for Finger Vein Recognition: A Survey [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Finger vein recognition is an emerging biometric recognition technology. Different from the other biometric features on the body surface, the venous vascular tissue of the fingers is buried deep inside the skin. Due to this advantage, finger vein recognition is highly stable and private.

Vascular adaptation model from force balance: Physarum polycephalum as a case study [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Understanding vascular adaptation, namely what drives veins to shrink or grow, is key for the self-organization of flow networks and their optimization. From the top-down principle of minimizing flow dissipation at a fixed metabolic cost within flow networks, flow shear rate resulting from the flows pervading veins is hypothesized to drive vein ...

A randomized prospective long-term (\u3e 1 year) clinical trial comparing the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation to 980nm laser ablation of the great saphenous vein [PDF]
, 2016 Purpose To compare the short- and long-term (\u3e1 year) efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation (ClosureFAST™) versus endovenous laser ablation (980 nm diode laser) for the treatment of superficial venous insufficiency of the great saphenous vein.

The vascular architecture. Phlebosomes do they exist? [PDF]
, 2016 The angiosome is a 3D structure which is perfused by a single perforating artery (arteriosome) and drained by a perforating vein (venosome). The concept of arteriosome is applied in plastic surgery and in the revascularization of ischemic limbs. Each

Haemorrhage from varicose veins and varicose ulceration: A systematic review
International Wound Journal, 2018 Varicose veins (VVs) and varicose ulceration (VU) are usually considered non‐life‐threatening conditions, but in some cases they can lead to major complications such as fatal bleeding.
