Impact on healing of double-layered compression stocking in the treatment of severe venous leg ulcers: A prospective, multicenter, controlled trial.

Venous leg ulcer refers to chronic wounds, generally difficult to heal and often prone to recurrence. The objective of this research was to assess a double layered compression stocking VenoTrain® ulcertec on a population with mostly severe pathologies. This prospective, multicenter, interventional type II study was conducted between September 2018 and January 2022.

Nailfold dermoscopy predicts the absence of a capillaroscopy sclerodermic pattern: The multicentre, prospective VASCUL-R trial.

Background: Nailfold capillaroscopy is recommended to diagnose primary or secondary Raynaud's phenomenon (RP). Capillaroscopy is normal in primary RP, which is the most frequent. Screening for RP capillary anomalies with nailfold dermoscopy has been promising.

Specific management of lipodermatosclerosis (sclerotic hypodermitis) in acute and chronic phase.

Lipodermatosclerosis or sclerotic hypodermitis is presented as a complication of venous insufficiency and in particular of post-thrombotic syndrome with a high risk of progression to leg ulcers. However, it has also been described in obese patients without venous insufficiency, and even in the course of various systemic diseases including scleroderma. It most often affects middle-aged women and is usually bilateral, with a typically "inverted champagne bottle" leg appearance.
