Article Synopsis
- Iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) is caused by chronic pressure on the iliac vein, leading to potential complications like venous leg ulcers (VLU), but the diagnostic role of computed tomography venography (CTV) is still being explored.
- A study analyzed the medical records of 62 patients, finding that CTV delivered more thorough information than other imaging methods and that female sex and older age are significant risk factors for IVCS.
- The research indicated that patients with IVCS who received stenting showed notable improvements in both clinical symptoms and ulcer healing rates, suggesting that stenting could be a beneficial treatment option.

- The study aimed to compare the clinical effects of modified above-knee surgery versus conventional surgery for stripping the great saphenous vein in patients with varicose veins in the lower extremities.
- Researchers analyzed data from surgeries performed between May 2016 and May 2018 and found no significant differences in patient characteristics, hospital stay, or surgery-related metrics between the two groups.
- Results indicated that the modified above-knee technique had a lower incidence of nerve injury and hematoma while maintaining similar long-term outcomes in clinical severity scores, suggesting it is a beneficial alternative to conventional surgery.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects approximately 35 million people worldwide, and diet has been reported to influence the prevalence/incidence of AD.

Constipation is a growing health problem, particularly in middle-aged and older adults.
