It could be demonstrated that higher sitting and standing compression pressure is posi- tively correlated with a reduction of venous reflux even when the pressure at application of the different materials is the same.23,24 The high pressure amplitudes during active or pas- sive movements correlate with a higher increase of venous pumping function.25 Measuring the ejection fraction of the calf pump it could be demonstrated that inelastic bandages revealed a significantly higher increase of venous pumping function com- pared with elastic bandages applied with the same resting pressure. keywords: compression; inelastic; material; patients; position; pressure; standing; venous cache: vl-1850.pdf plain text: vl-1850.txt item: #16 of 228 id: vl-1863 author: Sisini, Francesco; Gianesini, Sergio; Menegatti, Erica; Taibi, Angelo; Tessari, Mirko; Di Domenico, Giovanni; Malagoni, Anna Maria; Gambaccini, Mauro title: On the consistency of flow rate color Doppler assessment for the internal jugular vein date: 2014-01-16 words: 2818 flesch: 58 summary: In Figure 4 elliptical and circu- lar IJV CSA are plotted as a function of the con- toured CSA.

Lorenzo Tessari Abstract A venous gas microembolization should lead to some loss of gas exchange surface, with consequent gas exchange abnormalities and reduction in the transfer factor of the lung for carbon monoxide (TLCO). In conclusion, bubble microembolism either is not a typical effect of FS or only minimally impact on gas exchanges. keywords: gas; sclerotherapy cache: vl-3860.htm plain text: vl-3860.txt item: #43 of 228 id: vl-3861 author: None title: Hocaoglu C.

This law is now widely accepted and has been used as a physiological basis in order to explain what occurs in case of increased intracranial pressure (especially due to a for- eign body, such as a tumor) or in case of decreased intracranial pressure, as in the case of CSF leaks (intracranial hypotension).1 This doctrine is very easy to be understood and has been expressed so as to be scientifi- cally reproducible: a mathematical formula (brain vol + keywords: blood; brain; doctrine; intracranial; kellie; monro; veins cache: vl-4682.pdf plain text: vl-4682.txt item: #68 of 228 id: vl-4703 author: Engelhorn, Carlos Alberto; Dias Valiente Engelhorn, Ana Luiza; Salles-Cunha, Sergio Xavier; Amboni Schio, Nicolle; Golin Guarinello, Giovanna; Orlandoski Erbano, Bruna title: Associations between flow in paratibial perforating veins and great saphenous vein patterns of reflux date: 2015-06-09 words: 4301 flesch: 50 summary: The altered proportions with pathophysiological significance, having higher prevalence than expected, were: - PTPV drainage of GSV reflux (n=281) and GSV segmental reflux, 168 vs 144 or 60% vs 51% (P<0.05); therefore, PTPV as a GSV reflux drainage had a higher association with GSV segmental reflux; - PTPV source of GSV reflux (n=73) and GSV distal reflux, 16 vs 6 or 22% vs 8% (P<0.05); therefore PTPV was a significant source of GSV distal reflux; - Refluxing PTPV without relation to GSV flow (n=49) and GSV diffuse reflux, 8 vs 2 or 16% vs 4% (P<0.05); if PTPV reflux was not asso- ciated with GSV reflux, the GSV reflux pat- tern bypassed the PTPV and was diffuse; - Enlarged PTPV without reflux (n=39) and i) GVS diffuse reflux, 7 vs 1 or 18% vs 3% (P<0.05); and ii) GSV without reflux, 8 vs 1 or 21% vs 3% (P<0.05).

Discussion The constantly increasing demand for mini- invasiveness in saphenous refluxes treatment is surely pushing the phlebology world toward ET.16,17 In the last decade, ablative surgery has assisted to its progressive replacement by the foam sclerotherapy, radiofrequency, and endovenous lasers.18 Despite some analysis biases coming out from a not totally homoge- neous study population, reliable reviews sug- gest ET to be as effective as the surgery in the treatment of saphenous vein refluxes.2,19 Moreover, ET has been considered not only as efficacious as stripping in the reflux sup- pression, but also able to provide a faster and less painful post-operative course.20-22 Following the randomized controlled trials and network meta-analysis pointing out the endovenous performances, up to now, in tech- nically suitable cases, the international guide- lines favor ablative ET over open surgery with a Grade 1 B evidence.23 The same literature confirms that techno- logical advancement through the last decade has offered a better chance of improved treat- ment in terms of mini-invasiveness of the pro- cedure and post-operative quality of life. keywords: cases; chiva; flow; gsv; reflux; surg; vasc; vein; venous cache: vl-5246.pdf plain text: vl-5246.txt item: #96 of 228 id: vl-5266 author: None title: vl-5266 date: None words: 16 flesch: 90 summary: 429 Too Many Requests You have sent too many requests in a given amount of time. keywords: requests cache: vl-5266.htm plain text: vl-5266.txt item: #97 of 228 id: vl-5360 author: Zamboni, Paolo title: The discovery of the brain lymphatic system date: 2015-06-26 words: 833 flesch: 56 summary: However, this article per- mits to definitely overcome the neurocentric concept that lymphatic drainage of the central nervous system is confined to the meningeal compartment and there is a lack of lymphatic drainage in the brain parenchyma.

In this regard, it has been investigated in venous leg ulcer tis- sues the effect of sustained limb compression of 30 mmHg (or greater) for 4 weeks on ulcer healing rates, demonstrating that stromelysin matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3, collage- nase MMP-8 and gelatinase MMP-9 were sig- nificantly reduced after the compression treat- ment, and suggesting that a down-regulation of proteinases in ulcer tissue microenviron- ment by compression may represent a possible mechanism (in conjunction to the decrease of inflammation) to counteract the progression of CVI and improve venous ulcer healing.15 More recently, it has been reported that venous ulcers treated with a multi-layer bandaging system showed decreased plasma levels of MMP-9, TIMP-1, and MMP-2/TIMP-2 ratio in healed wounds.16 Finally, a recent randomized placebo-con- trolled trial assessed the efficacy of elastic compression stocking to prevent post-throm- Correspondence: Ferdinando Mannello, Department of Biomolecular Sciences, University of Urbino Carlo Bo, via Aurelio Saffi 2, 61029 Urbino (PU), Italy. keywords: compression; healing; leg; therapy; ulcer; venous cache: vl-5980.pdf plain text: vl-5980.txt item: #117 of 228 id: vl-5981 author: Dini, Valentina title: Compression in vasculitis date: 2016-06-14 words: 702 flesch: 41 summary: Small vessels vasculitis are idiophatic in the 50% of the cases or associated with drugs, infections, in particular hepatitis, Wegener’s granulomatosis, Churg Strauss syndrome and Henoch-Schonlein purpura.

Once systemic pathology has been managed or ruled out, peripheral edema is most often treated with graduated compres- sion therapy.7-9 However, patients with dia- betes have a 2-5 times greater risk for devel- oping peripheral arterial disease (PAD)10-12 as compared to those without diabetes, and compression therapy has long been consid- ered risky practice in patients with diabetes because of the fear of compromising vascu- larity.13-15 As a result, foot elevation as opposed to graduated compression has gen- erally been recommended to reduce lower extremity edema in diabetic patients, and the diabetic socks currently advocated by healthcare professionals offer either no compression or minimal compression, no greater than 8-15 mmHg, to preemptively guard against exacerbating symptoms of lower extremity PAD. keywords: compression; diabetes; edema; extremity; patients; socks cache: vl-6637.pdf plain text: vl-6637.txt item: #162 of 228 id: vl-6646 author: Mendoza, Erika title: Primum non nocere date: 2017-04-28 words: 683 flesch: 61 summary: 2.

This study is generally referred to as the SOX-trial.1 Shortly after its publication, this study was analysed and, on behalf of the German Society of Phlebology, the authors state that wearing compression stockings after deep venous thrombosis of the leg is still advis- able.2 An expert opinion, based on many years of experience and the result of two systematic reviews and meta-analyses, states that the long term use of compression stockings may reduce the incidence and severity of a post-thrombotic syndrome.3 This article reviews the literature and tries to answer the question: where is the evi- dence? keywords: compression; stockings; syndrome cache: vl-7636.pdf plain text: vl-7636.txt item: #221 of 228 id: vl-7637 author: Stumptner, Thomas title: How to improve compliance for medical compression stockings date: 2018-07-19 words: 812 flesch: 58 summary: Staubesand J.
