Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of an innovative multicomponent compression system in a single bandage (UrgoK1, Laboratoires Urgo, France) in the treatment of patients with venous leg ulcers (VLUs) and/or lower limb oedema in everyday practice.
Method: A prospective, observational, clinical study with the evaluated compression system was conducted in 39 centres in Germany between March 2022 and July 2023. Main outcomes included a description of the treated patients, changes in wound healing and oedema progression, local tolerance and acceptability of the compression system.
Background: Veterans of the 1990-1991 Gulf War have experienced excess health problems, most prominently the multisymptom condition Gulf War illness (GWI). The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Cooperative Studies Program #2006 "Genomics of Gulf War Illness in Veterans" project was established to address important questions concerning pathobiological and genetic aspects of GWI. The current study evaluated patterns of chronic ill health/GWI in the VA Million Veteran Program (MVP) Gulf War veteran cohort in relation to wartime exposures and key features of deployment, 27-30 years after Gulf War service.

- The study focused on identifying self-reported military and occupational exposures among Veterans, such as Agent Orange and chemical warfare agents, through the Million Veteran Program, which gathers health data from over a million US Veterans.
- Over 500,000 participants detailed their military experiences, revealing significant differences in reported exposures based on factors like service era, combat deployment, and occupation, with Vietnam-era Veterans primarily reporting Agent Orange exposure.
- The findings indicate that exposure patterns varied notably by demographics, with combat-related occupations showing higher exposure reports compared to healthcare roles, aligning with previous research on US military Veterans.
