Efficacy of complete decongestive therapy (CDT) on edematous rat limb after lymphadenectomy demonstrated by real time lymphatic fluid tracing
Although complete decongestive therapy (CDT) is considered to reduce the volume of lymphedema, there is no concrete evidence to sustain its efficacy. The purpose of the present study was to find new evidence of CDT based on visualizing the changes of lymph fluid accumulating in an edematous limb using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent lymphography in real time.Twelve lymphedema rats were divi...
متن کاملEfficacy of complete decongestive therapy and manual lymphatic drainage on treatment-related lymphedema in breast cancer.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the results of combined decongestive therapy and manual lymphatic drainage in patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema. METHODS AND MATERIALS The data from 250 patients were reviewed. The pre- and posttreatment volumetric measurements were compared, and the correlation with age, body mass index, and type of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy was determined. Th...
متن کاملAdherence to Exercise in Phase Two of Complete Decongestive Therapy
Recent research has shown that most individuals with secondary lymphedema can safely engage in aerobic, resistive, and flexibility type exercises during Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) phase 2; however, adherence to exercise remains low for this population. Since lymphedema is a chronic disorder, strict adherence to CDT phase 2, or self-management of symptoms, is necessary. In general, it a...
متن کاملFluid reabsorption and glucose consumption in edematous rat lungs.
Solute and water uptake were studied in isolated perfused rat lungs with airspaces filled with the perfusion fluid. The albumin in this solution was labelled with Evans blue (T-1824), and uptake of fluid from the airspaces was documented by an increase in T-1824 concentration in airway fluid of 6.5 +/- 1.6% (n = 5, SEM) at 1 hour and 12.2 +/- 0.9% (n = 10) at 2 hours. The only detectable osmoti...
