Deep vein thrombosis is associated with severe morbidity and mortality. It is the most frequent type of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and responsible for approximately 800.000 deaths per year in the European Union and the United States combined. The post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a frequent
Pyroptosis is a pro-inflammatory form of regulated cell death and is dependent on networks of extracellular fibers (NET,s), on the enzymatic activity of inflammatory proteases that belong to the family of cysteine-dependent aspartate-specific proteases (caspase), and cytokines. The role of
Objectives:
- Principal: Study the distal arterial infusion in a patient population with mixed ulcers under compression leg with little elastic bands
- Secondary: To evaluate the safety of the little compression elastic band in a mixed population of patients with leg ulcers
Methodology :
- Study
Complications such as surgical site infections, deep wound infections, prosthetic graft infections, and non-infections problems such as wound dehiscence continue to cause significant morbidity for patients undergoing arterial reconstruction for peripheral arterial disease. Patients undergoing leg
BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE
Therapies utilizing external compression of the leg prevent deep venous thrombosis, decrease lower extremity edema, manage chronic venous insufficiency, and increase healing in the treatment of venous stasis ulcers. In diabetic patients' feet, microcirculation is
In the treatment arm, the PEMF would be automatically delivered for 15 minutes every two hours for one month. The manufacturer (Ivivi Technologies, Inc., Northvale, NJ) has already designed a lightweight, disposable device that can be placed around the patient's arm and taped in place. The patient
A pilot randomized trial of Flexitouch® as an adjunctive treatment for venous ulcers
Objectives To determine if the Flexitouch® compression therapy system, when added to standard venous ulcer (VU) treatment, results in: 1. Greater complete healing at 12 weeks as compared to standard treatment alone.
The purpose of this double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-response study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of Thymosin Beta 4 (Tβ4), administered topically, in patients with Venous Stasis (VS) ulcers. VS ulcers develop on the ankle or lower leg in patients with chronic
Diabetic lower extremity wounds and venous stasis wounds are two of the most challenging, costly medical problems of our population. Moreover, the Veterans Affairs population has a very high percentage of diabetes and venous stasis wounds.
Foot ulcers are the most common reason for a diabetic
Background:
Overview of venous stasis ulcers (1-3): Venous stasis ulceration is a common complication of venous insufficiency in the United States. Venous stasis ulcers (VSU) are associated with very significant morbidity, including patient disability, moderate to severe pain, and frequent leg
