Effect of introduction of elastic compression bandages on quality of life in patients with lower extremity vascular skin ulcers: a prospective study correlating WOUND-Q patient-reported outcome measures and evidence-based medicine.
Wounds
December 2024
Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Campus Bio-Medico University Hospital, Rome, Italy.
Background: Evidence-based medicine and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are helpful tools in the wound care field, but few studies correlating quality of life (QoL) changes with objective changes exist.
Objective: To investigate the QoL changes following the shift from primary dressings alone to elastic compression bandages in patients with a new diagnosis of vascular skin ulcer, and to evaluate a possible correlation between objective and subjective changes.
Materials And Methods: This study included 122 patients with a new diagnosis of vascular skin ulcer, who had previously used only primary dressings alone.
The tumor distance to the main hepatic vessels is a predictor of recurrence-free survival and overall survival in hepatocellular cancer.

Department of Surgery, Medical Faculty Mannheim, Universitätsmedizin Mannheim, Heidelberg University, Theodor-Kutzer-Ufer 1-3, 68167, Mannheim, Germany.
Introduction: The impact of the distance of the tumor from the main hepatic vessels (DTV), such as the Glissonean pedicle or hepatic veins, on oncological outcomes for Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients is relatively understudied. Therefore, the objective of this study was to explore the correlation between DTV and survival in patients with HCC after curative hepatic resection.
Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent curative-intent liver surgery for HCC between April 2018 and May 2023 were identified from a prospective database.
Background: Diffusion tensor imaging along perivascular spaces index (DTI-ALPS), which measures diffusivity increases in the perivascular spaces along the medullary veins, is being increasingly utilized as a surrogate marker of glymphatic clearance (Taoka et. al. Jpn J Radio 2017).

Exploratory studies using optical coherence tomography angiography have reported alterations in the retinal capillary plexus vessel density and attenuation of the retinal nerve fiber layer, but these results appear to be mixed. We used ultra-widefield (UWF) imaging to evaluate retinal and choroidal vasculature and structure in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) compared to controls with normal cognition.

Introduction: The venous outflow profile (VOP) is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect affecting stroke outcomes. It plays a major role in the physiopathology of acute cerebral ischemia, as it accounts for both the upstream arterial collaterals and cerebral microperfusion. This enables it to circumvent the limitations of various arterial collateral evaluation systems, which often fail to consider impaired autoregulation and its impact on cerebral blood flow at the microcirculatory levels.
