Assessment of skin microcirculation by laser Doppler flowmetry in systemic sclerosis patients
INTRODUCTION First lesions to occur in the course of systemic sclerosis (SSc) involve microcirculation. AIM The study involved assessment of the suitability of laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) in examination of the performance of skin microcirculation in the distal portion of the upper extremity in SSc patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Overall the study involved 27 patients with systemic sclerosi...
متن کاملEvaluation of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by Laser Doppler Flowmetry
Background:Autonomic disturbance can leads to blood flow changes that can be studied by various methods. Objective: To assess the blood flow changes in patients with severe carpal tunnel syndrome by laser Doppler flowmetry Methods:Ten patients with severe unilateral carpal tunnel syndrome confirmed by electrodiagnostic examination enrolled in this study. Patients comprised one man and nine wom...
متن کاملQuantitative Laser Doppler Flowmetry
vii-Abstract Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) is virtually the only non-invasive technique, except for other laser speckle based techniques, that enables estimation of the microcirculatory blood flow. The technique was introduced into the field of biomedical engineering in the 1970s, and a rapid evolvement followed during the 1980s with fiber based systems and improved signal analysis. The first i...
متن کاملModel-based quantitative laser Doppler flowmetry in skin.
Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) can be used for assessing the microcirculatory perfusion. However, conventional LDF (cLDF) gives only a relative perfusion estimate for an unknown measurement volume, with no information about the blood flow speed distribution. To overcome these limitations, a model-based analysis method for quantitative LDF (qLDF) is proposed. The method uses inverse Monte Carlo t...
متن کاملAssessment of Human Skin Microcirculation and Its Endothelial Function Using Laser Doppler Flowmetry
Human skin is the largest organ of the body: it accounts for approximately 5% of the total body weight, extends over about 1.8 m2 and has an average thickness of 1-2 mm. Besides providing the mechanical barrier to protect the surface of the body and to prevent water loss it has other important functions. It is engaged in sensory perception and vitamin D metabolism, in inflammation, hemostasis a...
