Article Synopsis
- Spontaneous hemorrhage from varicose veins can be a dangerous complication, and a two-step clinical protocol was developed to prevent immediate bleeding and ensure long-term results.* -
- The protocol involved a prospective registry of patients, where they received ultrasound assessments and immediate treatment through foam sclerotherapy, followed by planned endovenous ablation within eight weeks.* -
- Out of 59 patients treated, 95% had identifiable underlying issues, and while 52 received the immediate sclerotherapy, only 7 did not; results indicated no recurrent bleeding post-treatment, with a 7% rate of late hemorrhage in long-term follow-up.*
Determining the relationship between cervical lordosis and neck complaints.
J Manipulative Physiol Ther
May 2006
Objective: To investigate the presence of a "functionally normal" cervical lordosis and identify if this and the amount of forward head posture are related to neck complaints.
Methods: Using the posterior tangent method, an angle of cervical lordosis was measured from C2 through C7 vertebrae on 277 lateral cervical x-rays. Anterior weight bearing was measured as the horizontal distance of the posterior superior body of the C2 vertebra compared to a vertical line drawn superiorly from the posterior inferior body of the C7 vertebra.
Purpose: The study was performed to evaluate the performance of digital fixed-mounted angiographic C-arm systems in the operating room as used by surgeons, cardiologists, and interventional radiologists.
Methods: An observational study in the operating room was performed, along with a structured questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Twenty interventions were observed at 5 sites.
