The purpose of this study was to determine some of the morphological and biochemical effects of sodium morrhuate injections into intact rabbit patellar tendons and Achilles tendons. The effects of one, three, and five 100 microliters injections of sodium morrhuate on tendon circumference, cell content, collagen fibril diameter, collagen-proteoglycan relationships, water content, amino sugar content, and hydroxyproline content were investigated over periods of 1, 4, and 9 weeks. In general, sodium morrhuate injected tendons were larger in diameter and contained more cells, smaller collagen fibrils, increased water and amino sugar content, and reduced hydroxyproline content compared with their contralateral controls. As a sclerosing agent, sodium morrhuate appears to mimic the early stages of an injury-repair sequence when injected directly into intact tendons. Whether sodium morrhuate may hasten repair responses or improve joint laxity remains to be determined.

Vascular malformations (VMs) are congenital abnormalities of blood or lymphatic vessels, present at birth and growing proportionally with the individual. They are classified into types such as capillary, venous, lymphatic, and arteriovenous malformation (AVMs). Symptoms include discoloration, swelling, pain, or functional impairment, depending on the type and location.

Objective: Sclerotherapy for venous malformation has been widely used; however, no guidelines are available to assess the effectiveness of different sclerotherapy agents. We conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis to investigate the effectiveness of sclerotherapy agents for venous malformations.
Methods: Three electronic databases were searched from their inception (1950) to April 29, 2021.

Objectives: To analyze adverse events (AEs) related to sclerosants reported through the Federal Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).
Methods: We queried the FAERS database for all cases associated with sclerosants. Reports were analyzed and stratified based on severity of cases and patient death.

Objectives: The objective of our study was to develop an optical method that instantly evaluates the stability of sclerosing foam, which would enable early predictions of the clinical performance of the foam and reduce the occurrence of clinical side effects.
Methods: Based on the principle of light scattering, we developed a method to optically test foam stability and verified it experimentally using sodium morrhuate (2 mL; 0.05 g/mL) and carbon dioxide.
