Sulodexide, a highly purified glycosaminoglycan, was investigated for treatment of venous leg ulcers. Patients (n = 235) undergoing local including wound care and compression bandaging, were randomised to receive either sulodexide or matching placebo three months. Primary study endpoint complete ulcer healing after 2 months; secondary endpoints at 3 months the time-course changes areas. The proportion patients with higher (p 0.018) "number needed treat" obtain one additional patient healed 7...
Venous ulcers are still today one of the main socioeconomic problems medical interest in terms prevalence, morbidity, and costs to health service. In past, various studies have been carried out identify a systemic pharmacologic treatment able accelerate venous ulcer healing times, but frequently results not satisfac tory. The aim this study was evaluate efficacy sulodexide, drug with profibrinolytic antithrombotic activity, accelerating ulcer's time. Ninety-four patients (32 men 62 women),...
Purpose Lymphoscintigraphy is the criterion-standard method for diagnosing lymphedema, and there no universally standardized imaging modality. In our center, we use a new approach: rest/stress intradermal lymphoscintigraphy. Methods We tested 231 consecutive patients with suspected lymphedema. All were studied after complex physical therapy program to reduce edema. Two doses of 99m Tc-nanocolloid injected intradermally. static planar scans taken at rest following tracer injection. Next,...
Lipedema is a chronic condition characterized by abnormal deposition of subcutaneous adipose tissue, leading to pain. The lack internationally recognized diagnostic criteria complicates the characterization Physiological parameters such as pain pressure threshold (PPT) represent promising prognostic markers for diagnosing lipedema, yet they remain understudied. This study aimed evaluate reliability and validity two measurements, PPT hand-held sphygmomanometer (HHS) in lipedema.
Purpose: Lymphedema is one of the most recurrent problems reported by breast cancer survivors, which negatively affects quality life (QoL). The Upper Limb Quality Life Questionnaire (ULL-27) a tool that assesses QoL in patients with cancer-related lymphedema. At present, an Italian adaptation does not exist. aim this study to perform preliminary cross-cultural validation version ULL-27. Materials and Methods: A forward-backward translation have been performed. One hundred twenty women...
