Sclerotherapy with bleomycin can cause cosmetic complications, including flagellate dermatitis and hyperpigmentation, induced or exacerbated by microtrauma to the skin. We report a case of a 9-year-old pediatric patient with congenital vascular malformations in which a cohesive bandage (eg, 3M Coban) was utilized to prevent bleomycin-induced hyperpigmentation. Postoperatively and on follow-up, there were no signs of hyperpigmentation or dermatitis in our patient. This report highlights using skin protective measures during bleomycin sclerotherapy for improved postoperative outcomes. If a patient is undergoing bleomycin sclerotherapy, consider removing adhesive where possible and using cohesive bandage to secure lines, airway instruments, and monitoring equipment.

In veterinary education, simulators are models or devices that can imitate a real patient or scenario and allow students to practice skills without the need for live patients. Castration is a common surgical procedure in all species, and the standing, open technique is frequently performed in horses. Although a simulator has been developed for equine closed castration, a simulator for standing castration in the horse has not yet been described.

Aim: To gain a greater understanding of how compression therapy affects quality of life, this systematic review appraised existing published studies measuring the impact of compression therapy on health quality of life (HRQoL), and pain, among people with venous leg ulcers (VLU).
Method: Five databases were searched, and two authors extracted data and appraised the quality of selected papers using the RevMan risk of bias tool. Due to heterogeneity in the types of compression and instruments used to evaluate HRQoL, meta-analysis was not appropriate; thus, a narrative synthesis of findings was undertaken.
