AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Electron microscopy of the venous valves in varicose disease shows that dystrophic changes develop on the external and internal surfaces of the valve cusps. Endotheliocytes on the external surface are located longitudinally in relation to valvular axis and on the internal surface they are perpendicular to it. Fragments of the elastic membrane, collagen fibres and smooth muscle cells are seen under the endothelial lining. Endothelium actively regulates proliferative processes of smooth cells secreting the so-called "growth factor of endothelial origin". The development of venous valve pathological changes in varicose disease is accompanied by endothelial damage, disturbance of morphofunctional state of smooth muscle cells and intercellular substance of the vascular wall.

Budd-Chiari syndrome with obstruction in the inferior vena cava causes increased venous pressure in the azygous-hemiazygous system and paravertebral venous plexus, which is transmitted to the epidural venous plexus, devoid of the valves. It causes epidural venous plexus engorgement and venous congestion and may present rarely with low back pain or radiating pain. However, patients developing lower limb weakness as a complication of Budd-Chiari syndrome is an infrequent and severe presentation.

Background And Objective: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limbs is a critical global vascular disease. Accurately assessing and predicting the efficacy of DVT treatment remains a significant challenge due to a lack of understanding of the mechanisms by which the level of patient-specific embolization and the rate of drug injection affect thrombolytic therapy.
Methods: In this study, we used the computed tomographic venography (CTV) clinical method to obtain patient-specific parameters, and the flow-solid interaction (FSI) method combined with biochemical response modeling of thrombolysis to analyze patient-specific hemodynamic and biomechanical characteristics and to quantitatively assess the effects of three vessel embolism levels (VEL) versus two drug injection rates (DIR) on bifurcated femoral venous thrombolytic therapy.

Understanding the vascular anatomy of the face is crucial for ensuring safe clinical practices, especially as aesthetic procedures involving hyaluronic acid fillers are gaining popularity. Although vascular complications from these procedures are rare, there has been a documented increase in adverse events linked to venous and arterial occlusions. This review addresses the knowledge gap regarding the facial venous system compared to the well-documented facial artery system, emphasising the importance of thorough anatomical knowledge to mitigate risks during injectable cosmetic procedures.

Research on venous hemodynamics is pivotal for unravelling venous diseases, including varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis, essential for clinical management, treatment and artificial valve design. In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) numerical simulation, employing the immersed boundary/finite element method, is constructed to explore the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) between intravenous blood and venous valves. A hyperelastic constitutive model is used to capture the incompressible, nonlinear mechanical response.
