Incidence of varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency and venous reflux in the general population and associated risk factors : the Edinburgh Vein Study follow upRobertson, Lindsay Anne January 2013 (has links)
Chronic venous disease (CVD) is a common problem in the western world, causes considerable morbidity and has a substantial impact on the health care system in terms of cost of treatment. Most epidemiological research has focussed on the prevalence of varicose veins and ulceration. As such, evidence on the incidence and risk factors is limited. The aim of this study was to measure the incidence of C2 varicose veins, C3-C6 chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and venous reflux ≥ 0.5 seconds duration in an adult population, and to investigate risk factors associated with the development of these conditions. The Edinburgh Vein Study was a prospective cohort study in which 1,566 men and women aged 18-64 years randomly sampled from the general population underwent an examination comprising clinical and photographic classification of CVD, duplex scanning of the deep and superficial systems of both legs, and completed a questionnaire on lifestyle and medical history. After a 13 year period, invitations were sent to the 1456 survivors to attend a follow up examination. In total, 880 participated in the follow up study, giving a response rate of 60.4%. The overall incidence of C2 varicose veins was 18.2% (95% CI 15.2-21.6), equivalent to an annual incidence rate of 1.4% (95% CI 1.1-1.7). There were no gender differences (p=0.78). Age was associated with the development of new C2 varicose veins the 13 year incidence rose from 9.8% in those aged 18-34 years to 25.7% in those aged 55-64 years (p<0.001). New cases of C3-C6 CVI developed in 9.2% (95% CI 7.0-11.9) of the study sample over 13 years, an annual incidence rate of 0.7% (95% CI 0.5-0.9). There were no gender differences: the 13 year incidence was 10.7% (95% CI 7.2-15.5) and 8.1% (95% CI 5.7-11.6) in men and women respectively (p=0.32). The incidence increased consistently with age, from 2.1% in those aged under 35 years to 17.1% in those aged over 55 years (p<0.001). Of all C3-C6 conditions, C3 corona phlebectatica had the highest incidence (5.3%, 95% CI 3.7-7.5). C5-C6 venous ulceration had the lowest incidence, affecting only 0.5% (95% CI 0.2-1.6) of the study sample over the 13 years. Overall, 12.7% of participants developed new venous reflux ≥0.5 seconds duration from baseline to follow up. The 13 year incidence of superficial, deep and combined venous reflux was 8.8%, 2.6% and 1.3% respectively. Neither age nor sex were associated with the incidence of venous reflux (p>0.05). The highest incidence of reflux was in the great saphenous vein in the lower third of the thigh (4.2%, 95% CI 2.4-7.1). Venous reflux at baseline was associated with the development of new C2 varicose veins at follow up: the incidence creased linearly in those with no reflux, deep, superficial and combined reflux respectively (p<0.001). Family history of venous disease was a significant risk factor for C2 varicose veins (age and sex-adjusted OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1-2.7) while obesity was associated with the development of CVI (age and sex adjusted OR 4.5 (95% CI 3.3-6.9). Pregnancy appeared to be associated with the development of varicose veins but the association was not statistically significant due to small numbers. No risk factor was associated with the development of venous reflux. The Edinburgh Vein Study is one of a few cohort studies to report the incidence of C2 varicose veins, C3-C6 CVI and venous reflux ≥0.5 seconds duration, and investigate risk factors associated with these conditions. While the results on incidence are consistent with the limited evidence from other studies, the exact effect of risk factors remains unknown. Genetic studies would help clarify whether CVD is an inherited or acquired condition. For other risk factors, results of this study could be combined with other population-based studies in a meta-analysis. The overall estimate of effect would identify the most important risk factors associated with the development of CVD and venous reflux. Finally the natural history and progression of CVD needs to be assessed. The Edinburgh Vein Follow Up Study has examined this relationship and results will help to identify those most likely to progress to more severe disease and, in turn, those who will benefit most from treatment. Appropriate, clinically proven, effective and cost-effective treatments can then be administered in an attempt to reduce the burden of CVD.

Segregated Foxc2, NFATc1 and Connexin expression at normal developing venous valves, and Connexin-specific differences in the valve phenotypes of Cx37, Cx43, and Cx47 knockout miceMunger, Stephanie J., Geng, Xin, Srinivasan, R. Sathish, Witte, Marlys H., Paul, David L., Simon, Alexander M. 15 April 2016 (has links)
Venous valves (VVs) are critical for unidirectional blood flow from superficial and deep veins towards the heart. Congenital valve aplasia or agenesis may, in some cases, be a direct cause of vascular disease, motivating an understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the development and maintenance of VVs. Three gap junction proteins (Connexins), Cx37, Cx43, and Cx47, are specifically expressed at VVs in a highly polarized fashion. VVs are absent from adult mice lacking Cx37; however it is not known if Cx37 is required for the initial formation of valves. In addition, the requirement of Cx43 and Cx47 for VV development has not been studied. Here, we provide a detailed description of Cx37, Cx43, and Cx47 expression during mouse vein development and show by gene knockout that each Cx is necessary for normal valve development. The valve phenotypes in the knockout lines exhibit Cx-specific differences, however, including whether peripheral or central VVs are affected by gene inactivation. In addition, we show that a Cx47 null mutation impairs peripheral VV development but does not affect lymphatic valve formation, a finding of significance for understanding how some CX47 mutations cause inherited lymphedema in humans. Finally, we demonstrate a striking segregation of Foxc2 and NFATc1 transcription factor expression between the downstream and upstream faces, respectively, of developing VV leaflets and show that this segregation is closely associated with the highly polarized expression of Cx37, Cx43, and Cx47. The partition of Foxc2 and NFATc1 expression at VV leaflets makes it unlikely that these factors directly cooperate during the leaflet elongation stage of VV development. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.

Studies on the prevention of venous insufficiency and ulcerationSultan, Muhammad January 2013 (has links)
Introduction: Venous disease impairs the quality of life, necessitates time off work and causes venous ulcers. The focus of this thesis is to explore strategies to prevent chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and venous ulceration. Aims 1. To identify a population at risk of developing venous ulcers 2. To study the pressure profile required by elastic stockings to halve transit venous time 3. To explore the role of compression following ankle fracture Methods: Data was collected from 231 patients with venous ulcers and age and sex matched 210 controls to identify risk factors for venous ulceration. Univariate and multivariate analysis of potential risk factors was undertaken to identify those that independently predict this risk. After identifying the population at risk, prophylactic strategies were developed. The effect of Engineered Compression Stockings (ECS) delivering 15mmHg, 25mmHg and 35mmHg pressure at the ankle on the calf venous transit time and volume was measured to determine the ideal pressure profile required to halve transit venous time, which should be appropriate for DVT prophylaxis. A dorsal foot vein was cannulated in 15 healthy volunteers with no venous disease. The transit time (secs) for ultrasound contrast from a foot vein to the popliteal vein was measured using duplex ultrasound. Calf volumes were recorded by water displacement. ECS delivering 25mmHg of pressure around the ankle were compared with no compression in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in 90 patients within 72 hours of ankle fracture. Patients were randomised to either i) ECS and air-cast boot or ii) a liner and air-cast boot and were followed at 2, 4, 8, 12 weeks and 6 months. The primary outcome was functional recovery measured using the Olerud Molander Ankle Score (OMAS). Secondary outcomes were i) The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS), ii) SF12v2 Quality of Life score (QoL), iii) pain, and iv) frequency of DVT. Results The risk factors significantly associated with venous ulceration on multivariate analysis included a history of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), phlebitis, hip replacement, poor mobility, weight/kg>100Kg, varicose veins (VV), family history of VV and weight (kg) between 75-100kg. A simple diagnostic scoring system was derived from this regression analysis with scores of . 3 predicting a 6.7% annual risk and of < 1 a 0.6% risk. Mean transit time without compression was 35, 32 and 33 secs while standing, sitting and lying. Transit time was consistently halved by ECS delivering 25mmHg to 14, 13 and 14 secs respectively (p<0.001). Mean leg volume whilst standing was reduced significantly from 3447ml with no ECS to 3259ml, 3161ml and 3067ml with ECS applying 15, 25 and 35mmHg respectively (p<0.001). ECS in ankle fracture patients reduced ankle swelling at all time points and significantly improved mean OMAS score at six months to 98 compared with 67 for the liner (p<0.001). AOFAS and SF12v2 scores were also significantly improved (p<0.001, p= 0.016). Of 86 patients with duplex imaging at four weeks, only five (12%) of the 43 ECS patients had a DVT compared with 10 (23%) of the 43 controls (p= 0.26). Conclusions: The risk score for venous ulcers will allow us to undertake RCTs on the prevention of leg ulceration. The pressure profile required to halve transit venous time is 25mmHg. The frequency of asymptomatic DVT following ankle fracture is sufficient to justify prophylaxis. Compression has a potential role in the management of ankle fractures by improving functional outcome and QoL. These studies facilitate research into the prevention of venous disease.

Primary saphenous vein insufficiency:prospective studies on diagnostic duplex ultrasonography and treatment with endovenous radiofrequency-resistive heatingRautio, T. (Tero) 07 July 2002 (has links)
Abstract
The purpose of the present research was (I-II) to evaluate the effects of
clinical, hand-held Doppler (HHD) and duplex ultrasonographic examinations on the
planning of operative procedure for primary varicose veins, (III) to assess the
feasibility, safety and efficacy of endovenous saphenous vein obliteration with
radiofrequency-resistive heating and (IV) to compare endovenous saphenous vein
obliteration with conventional stripping operation in terms of short-term
recovery and costs.
Sixty-two legs (in 49 consecutive patients) and 142 legs (in 111
consecutive patients) with primary uncomplicated varicose veins were examined
clinically and with HHD and duplex ultrasonography for planning the subsequent
treatment. At the saphenous-femoral junction (SFJ) and at the saphenous-popliteal
junction (SPJ), sensitivity was 56-64% and 23%, specificity 93-97% and 96%,
positive predictive value 97-98% and 43% and negative predictive value 44-45% and
91%, respectively. In 9% of the cases, the treatment plan was modified on the
basis of the duplex ultrasound findings. The present study showed that, in
primary uncomplicated varicose veins, the accuracy of HHD is
unsatisfactory.
Thirty legs of 27 patients with varicose veins were treated using an
endovenous catheter (Closure® System, VNUS Medical Technologies, Inc.,
Sunnyvale,
CA), which was inserted under ultrasound guidance via a percutaneous puncture or
a skin incision. The persistence of vein occlusion and complications potentially
attributable to the endovenous treatment were assessed at 1-week, 6-week,
3-month, 6-month and 1-year follow-up visits. By the time of the last follow-up
visit, occlusion of the treated segment of the LSV had been achieved in 22
(73.3%) legs. Persisting patency or recanalization of LSV was detected in 8 legs
(26.7%). Postoperative complications included saphenous nerve paresthesia in 3
legs (10%) and thermal skin injury in one limb (3.3%).
Twenty-eight selected patients admitted for operative treatment of varicose
veins in the tributaries of the primary long saphenous were randomly assigned to
endovenous obliteration (n = 15) or stripping operation (n = 13). The patients
were followed up for 7-8 weeks postoperatively and examined by duplex
ultrasonography. The comparison of costs included both direct medical costs and
costs due to lost of productivity. All operations were successful, and the
complication rates were similar in the two groups. The sick leaves were
significantly shorter in the endovenous obliteration group [6.5 (SD 3.3) vs. 15.6
(SD 6.0), 95 % CI 5.4 to 12.9, p < 0.001, t-test]. When
the
value of the lost working days was included, the endovenous obliteration was
societally cost-saving.

Exercice, veines et maladie veineuse chronique : effets de l'exercice et des conditions de récupération / Exercise, veins and chronic venous disease : effecs of exercise and recovery conditionsBeliard, Samuel 06 November 2017 (has links)
Résumé : Le rôle du réseau veineux est central dans la fonction cardiovasculaire, pourtant, au regard de la littérature scientifique, il apparaît comme le« parent pauvre » comparé au cœur ou au réseau artériel. Ce constat vaut aussi bien pour la compréhension de l'hémodynamique veineuse que pour l'analyse physiopathologique de la maladie veineuse chronique en général et plus particulièrement lorsque le lien est fait avec la situation d'exercice. Nos différentes investigations avaient pour buts d'une part de mieux comprendre les adaptations du système veineux lors de l'activité physique et lors de la phase de récupération post-exercice et d'autre physiopathologiques de l'hyper pression veineuse sur la microcirculation chez le sujet atteint d'une pathologie veineuse. Ils ont également apporté une meilleure compréhension de la phase de récupération post-exercice et des effets bénéfiques des méthodes de récupération sur la performance et sur les adaptations vasculaires. L'interdépendance entre les différents secteurs (cœur, artères, microcirculation, veines) du système cardiovasculaire est un élément essentiel mis en évidence dans nos différents travaux. Ainsi, nous avons démontré que l'hémodynamique veineuse ne pouvait être analysée de manière isolée, mais au contraire part d'évaluer l'impact de la maladie veineuse chronique sur l'activité physique et réciproquement. Pour cela nous avons étudié les effets aigus de l'activité physique sur le fonctionnement de l'hémodynamique veineuse (évaluation de la pompe veineuse surale), et les effets de différentes méthodes de récupération (compression, immersion, électro stimulation neuro musculaire). Par ailleurs nous avons exploré les conséquences de la pathologie veineuse sur la réalisation d'une activité physique à travers l'analyse de la claudication veineuse. Les principaux résultats de nos travaux ont permis de mieux appréhender les adaptations de l'hémodynamique veineuse liées à l'exercice chez le sujet sain d'une part et de mieux comprendre les conséquences qu'elle devait être évaluée dans sa globalité, en mesurant les implications sur le remplissage cardiaque en aval et sur les échanges au niveau tissulaire en amont, et en recherchant la part du réseau splanchnique et celle du réseau des membres aux propriétés bien différentes sur le retour veineux systémique. En conclusion, nous avons comblé une partie des lacunes de la littérature en permettant une meilleure appréhension des relations veines, exercice physique, récupération et pathologie veineuse. Cependant, des interrogations persistent concernant la méthodologie à mettre en place pour l'évaluation du réseau veineux et les effets chroniques de la pratique intensive d'une activité physique sur la maladie veineuse chronique. / The role of the venous system is central to cardiovascular fonction, yet, in terms of scientific literature, it appears to be the "poor relation" compared to the heart or arterial system. This is true both for the physiological understanding of venous hemodynamics and for the pathophysiological analysis of chronic venous disease and more particularly when the link is made with exercise. The aim of our investigations was to better understand the adaptations of the venous system during physical activity and during the post-exercise recovery period and, to evaluate the impact of chronic venous disease on physical activity and vice versa. We have studied the acute effects of physical activity on venous hemodynamics (evaluation of the calf venous pump), and the effects of various recovery methods ( compression, immersion, calf low frequency electrical stimulation), and we have also explored the consequences of chronic venous disease upon physical activity through the analysis of venous claudication. The main results of our work enabled a better understanding of the adjustments in venous hemodynamics linked to exercise in healthy subjects and to better understand the pathophysiological consequences of high venous pressure on the microcirculation of patients with chronic venous disease. Our findings also provide a detailed understanding of venous hemodynamics during post-exercise recovery and the positive effects of recovery methods on both performance and vascular adjustments. The interdependence of the different organs and tissues (heart, arteries, microcirculation, veins) of the cardiovascular system is an essential element highlighted in this work. Thus, we demonstrated that venous hemodynamics could not be analyzed in isolation, but rather that it should be assessed as a whole by measuring implications on cardiac filling and on tissue exchange, and looking for the part of the splanchnic system and limbs system on systemic venous return. ln conclusion, we have filled some of the gaps in the literature by examining the relationships between veins, physical exercise, recovery and venous pathology. However, questions remain regarding the methodology to be implemented for the evaluation of the venous system and the chronic effects of the intensive physical activity practice on the chronic venous disease prevalence

Problematika elastické bandáže v ošetřovatelské praxi / Issues of elastic bandage in nursing practiceVESELÁ, Kateřina January 2017 (has links)
The compression therapy is often being underestimated not only by medical staff and doctors, but also by patients. Therefore, it is often perceived as a simple task frequently handed over to hospital attendants. At the nursing schools the time devoted to the issue of compression therapy is minimal. That is probably why there are nurses with a very limited information at their disposal regarding this issue. The compression therapy is nevertheless an essential part of prevention and treatment of the venous and lymphatic diseases. When the compressive bandaging is carried out efficiently, it can improve the quality of life of a patient with a venous or lymphatic disease. Moreover, it can help in preventing thromboembolic diseases during surgical interventions. However, in order for the compressive bandage to be effective, several conditions must be met. First, it has to be carried out by a properly trained medical staff. Second, it is highly important that the patient undergoes a thorough education concerning compressive bandaging, so that he or she is able to keep the bandage effective when released home. Based on evidence, the aim of this thesis is to find out how effective is the practice of compressive bandaging within nursing care. The thesis consists of two parts. The first is theoretical and it contains the findings of various researches and publications related to the issue of venous diseases, aplication of the compressive bandage, differences between elastic stockings and elastic roller bandage and the findings concerning the education of a patient. The second part is practical. It consists of a quantitative research with a participation of 192 respondents who work as nurses in medical facilities and who are therefore closest to the patient undergoing compressive therapy. The thesis is interested in the amount of knowledge nurses have in relation to the compressive bandage, in the way they apply the bandage and in the process of the education of the patient. The research shows that the choice of a type of a compressive therapy is conditioned by the supply of the ward. Furthermore, the research reveals that there is no connection between the length of the professional experience of a nurse and her or his method of applying the compressive bandage. The recommendation for practice is an educational seminar for nurses aimed at completing their theoretical knowledge. This would also serve as an opportunity to practice not only the application of the bandage, but also the use of a measuring instrument Picopress.

Previous issue date: 2014-02-04 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cient?fico e Tecnol?gico / Venous wounds cause physical, psychological and financial problems that impact the quality of life of patients. Treatment alternatives are investigated in order to reduce healthcare costs and improve quality of life of people affected by this problem. Physical resources, such as therapeutic ultrasound (US), are being considered in the treatment of ulcers as a potential healing agent. This study aimed to investigate the application of US as a treatment for venous ulcers. Subjects were divided into two groups: US group, where treatment consisted of 5 sessions of pulsed US (3 MHz, 1W/cm?) associated with compression and kinesiotherapy; and sham group, where individuals went through the same procedures, but with sham US therapy. Subjects were evaluated for wound size by planimetry and digital photography, visual analogue scale for pain, quality of life by the questionnaires SF- 36 and VEINES-QoL/Sym and enzymatic activity of metalloproteinases 2 and 9 by zymography. It was observed mean reduction in wound area of 41.58?53.8% for the US group and 63.47?37.2% for the placebo group, maintenance of quality of life scores in the US group and significant improvement (p<0.05) in the placebo group by VEINES questionnaire. It was observed decreased perception of pain in the placebo group. Sample feasibility for analysis of the protein activity of metalloproteinases 2 and 9 by zymography collected by swab method was also confirmed. Our data did not give us evidence to support the theory that the US accelerates healing of venous ulcers in a short-term analysis. However, we observed that standard care associated with compression therapy and kinesiotherapy were able to significantly shorten the progression of chronic venous ulcers / As ?lceras cut?neas de origem venosa causam problemas f?sicos, psicol?gicos e financeiros que impactam a qualidade de vida dos pacientes.

Recursos f?sicos como o ultrassom (US) terap?utico vem sendo considerados no tratamento de ?lceras como potencial agente cicatrizador. O objetivo desse estudo foi investigar a aplica??o de US como terap?utica para a ?lcera venosa. Indiv?duos foram divididos em dois grupos: grupo US, onde o tratamento consistia de 5 sess?es de aplica??o de US pulsado (3 MHz, 1W/cm?) associadas ? terapia compressiva e cinesioterapia; e grupo placebo, onde os indiv?duos passavam pelos mesmos procedimentos, por?m com US placebo. Foram avaliados quanto ao tamanho do ferimento por planimetria e fotografia digital, dor por escala visual anal?gica, qualidade de vida pelos question?rios SF-36 e VEINES-QoL/Sym e atividade enzim?tica de metaloproteinases 2 e 9 por meio de zimografia. Foi observada redu??o m?dia da ?rea da ferida 41,58%?53,8 para o grupo US e 63,47%?37,2 para o grupo placebo, manuten??o dos escores de qualidade de vida no grupo US e melhora significativa (p<0,05) no grupo Placebo pelo question?rio VEINES. Observou-se diminui??o da percep??o de dor no grupo placebo.
