Value of combined exercise and ultrasound as an adjunct to compression therapy in chronic venous leg ulcers

Egyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation, 2017
Introduction Chronic venous leg ulcers are very difficult to treat and take very long time to heal. Compression therapy remains the mainstay of venous ulcer conservative treatment. Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of combined

Biomarkers of Skin Graft Healing in Venous Leg Ulcers

Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 2022
There is a need for biomarkers that predict the success of transplantation of venous leg ulcers (with autologous split-thickness skin grafts). The primary objective of this exploratory study was to investigate the association between split-thickness skin

Microfluidic Valve‐Integrated Garment for Smooth Sequential Gradient Mechanotherapy

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present a soft wearable sleeve that delivers smooth, gap‐free compression using overlapping air‐filled actuators and tiny microfluidic valves. The system reduces bulk, lowers power needs, and uses a smartphone‐sized control box. It can provide sequential gradient compression, gradient pressure holding, and fast deflation, supporting more portable ...

Lowering salivary pH with sugar‐containing gum augments salivary nitrite production and blood pressure reduction with dietary nitrate (beetroot juice)

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Acutely lowering salivary pH (with sugar‐containing acidic gum vs. sugar‐free gum) augments salivary nitrate reduction to nitrite, plasma nitrite concentration, and blood pressure lowering with dietary nitrate. Modifying salivary pH reveals a mechanism by which the nitrate‐nitrite‐NO pathway may be upregulated/inhibited, with potential for other ...

From Negative Duplex to Phlegmasia in Minutes: Bedside POCUS Identifies Rapid Thrombosis Unmasking Underlying May–Thurner Syndrome

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Point‐of‐care‐ultrasound revealed an evolving acute noncompressible deep vein thrombosis (asterisks) in the left lower extremity veins (right panel) that was not evident on duplex ultrasound 14 min prior (left panel; asterisks demonstrate compressed veins). The patient was treated emergently and found to have May–Thurner syndrome.

The Effect of Use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) on Venous Ulcer Size in Comparison to the Usual Method of Dressing and Compression Bandage [PDF]

Ain-Shams Journal of Surgery, 2017
Aim: To compare the clinical efficacy of platelet rich plasma in the management of chronic venous ulcers (as regards the time of complete ulcer healing or shrinkage in size) with the conventional methods of treatment of venous ulcers (compression and ...
