Lower limbs edema may have manifold local or systemic causes. Is in the "May's edematous limb" when the diagnosis problems appears, needing complementary technics in its treatment. The non invasive methods in phlebedema and lymphedema diagnosis are exposed, emphasizing the precocious diagnosis of
UNASSIGNED
The aim of the present study is to report on the reduction of edema of lymphedematous arms just by treating the lower limbs.
UNASSIGNED
A 16-year-old girl reported that she has started having right lower limb edema at the age of three. At age 13, she performed a lymphoscintigraphy that
To assess: (1) lower limb primary lymphedema or post-thrombotic syndrome patient's pathway in terms of health care professional use and (2) if aetiology of edema has an impact on this pathway.Ancillary survey of the transversal prospective CHROEDEM pilot OBJECTIVE
Limb edema and lymphedema due to chronic venous insufficiency or mastectomy and radiotherapy negatively effects patient well-being, lifestyle, tissue blood flow, oxygenation, and wound healing. Assessment of the efficacy of volume reduction therapy requires adequate estimation of
Non-immune hydrops fetalis may find its origin within genetically determined lymphedema syndromes, caused by mutations in FOXC2 and SOX-18. We describe a newborn girl, diagnosed with non-immune hydrops fetalis at a gestational age of 30 weeks. Family history revealed the presence of an autosomal
BACKGROUND
In lymphedema, tissue fluid steadily accumulates in the subcutaneous space containing loose connective tissue. We documented previously that deformation of the structure of subcutaneous collagen bundles and fat by excess fluid leads to formation of "lakes" and interconnected channels with
BACKGROUND
Staging of lower extremity lymphedema (LEL) is difficult in clinical work. The excellent soft tissue contrast of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables soft tissue changes to be feasibly and reproducibly characterized and distinguished.
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether cross-section areas
OBJECTIVE
Compression therapy for venous and lymphatic edema of the lower limbs raises a major challenge concerning the optimal pressure ensuring both efficacy and patient compliance. We present a mathematical model of tissue fluid transfers which is aimed at determining the lowest pressure required
To evaluate the impact of therapy and monitor the progression of filarial lymphedema, it is necessary to measure accurately the changes in limb edema volume. In this communication, we report the reliability of circumference measurements for recording volume changes. The measurements included the
Sadly, the subject of lymphatic vascular insufficiency continues to engender relative neglect by health care professionals, which represents a source of frustration and fear among patients. A re-consideration of the unique, complex biology of lymphatic vascular disorders has the capacity both to
We examined two middle-aged male cousins with unexplained edema of postpubertal onset involving the upper and lower limbs, face, and larynx and, in one of them, a persistent pleural effusion. Scintilymphangiography detected an apparent paucity or absence of lymph nodes in the axillae and above the
Introduction. Primary congenital lymphedema is a rare disorder associated with insufficient development of lymphatic vessels. Usually most patients present with lower extremity edema seen sonographically. Rarely primary congenital lymphedema may be associated with severe lymphatic dysfunction
Background: This was a part of LIMPRINT (Lymphoedema IMpact and PRevalence-INTernational), an international study aimed at capturing the size and impact of lymphedema and chronic edema in different countries and health services across the world. The purpose of this study was to clarify the
Overall limb lymphedema can be assessed by several methods but none are suitable to determine local edema. Quantifying local edema could provide important information not previously available. Our goal was to determine the suitability of using the tissue dielectric constant (TDC) as and index of
In a single lymphedema treatment facility, 128 consecutive patients with lower limb lymphedema were retrospectively analyzed for the development of genital edema. The patients were separated for analysis on the basis of who used or did not use compressive pump therapy. Of the 128 patients with lower
