Objective: To find the impact of impaired upper limb motor function on trunk control and mobility in chronic post-stroke survivors so that the upper limb function should be enhanced as a core component of rehabilitation. Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2021 to August 2021 at Rehabilitation Center for the Physically Disabled, Peshawar, Pakistan. A total o...

451 end-to-side, and the concomitant veins of the radial artery end-to-end. Saaristo et al. [5] combined the breast reconstruction using abdominal flaps with the transfer of vascularized inguinal lymph nodes based on the superficial circumflex iliac vessels or the superficial inferior epigastric vessels, and the anastomoses were performed from the deep inferior epigastric vessels end-to-end to ...

OBJECTIVE Lower extremity lymphedema adversely affects quality of life by causing discomfort, impaired mobility and increased risk of infection. The goal of this study is to investigate factors that influence the likelihood of lymphedema in patients with endometrial cancer who undergo adjuvant radiation with or without chemotherapy. METHODS A retrospective chart review identified all stage I-...

Aim. The classic inguinal lymph node dissection is the main step for the regional control of the lower extremity melanoma, but this surgical procedure is associated with significant postoperative morbidity. The permanent lymphedema is the most devastating long-term complication leading to a significant decrease in the patient's quality of life. In this study we present our experience with modif...

Background: Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer. Due to the importance of predicting this disease, the use of data mining methods in medical research is more significant than before. Data mining algorithms can be a great help in preventing the development of lymphedema in patients. The aim Of this study was to create a diagnosis system that can ...

Introduction. Primary congenital lymphedema is a rare disorder associated with insufficient development of lymphatic vessels. Usually most patients present with lower extremity edema seen sonographically. Rarely primary congenital lymphedema may be associated with severe lymphatic dysfunction resulting in hydrops fetalis. Case. A 27-year-old primigravida with a family history of leg swelling th...

Lymphedema is swelling, particularly in the subcutaneous tissues, due to accumulation of lymph. Previous imaging techniques have demonstrated associated structural changes and have been used for evaluating the status of soft tissues. However, the reliability of measurements using ultrasonography has not been evaluated and the ultrasonographic method has been unable to show changes in tissue sof...

OBJECTIVE To characterize lymphatic vessel morphology in lower extremity lymphedema using MR lymphography at 3T. STUDY DESIGN Forty females with lower extremity lymphedema secondary to gynecologic carcinoma treatment underwent MR lymphography (MRL) at 3T. Lymphatic vessel morphology in normal and affected limbs was compared. RESULTS The median diameter of the lymphatic vessels in swollen ca...

Non-FDA approved foreign substances injected in areas such as the hips and buttocks for aesthetic purposes have resulted significant complications including secondary lymphedema. We sought to demonstrate lymphoscintigraphic abnormalities a group of patients with lower extremity edema following infiltration confirm This retrospective observational study examined 10 extremities from history subse...

Lymphatico-venous anastomosis (LVA) is used to resolve lymph retention in lymphedema. However, the postoperative outcome of lower limb lymphedema is poorer than that for upper limb lymphedema, because of the location lower than the heart level. Improvement of the therapeutic outcome requires application of as many anastomoses as possible in a limited operation time, particularly since there is ...
