Skin breakdown or ulceration caused by VARICOSE VEINS in which there is too much hydrostatic pressure in the superficial venous system of the leg. Venous hypertension leads to increased pressure in the capillary bed, transudation of fluid and proteins into the interstitial space, altering blood flow and supply of nutrients to the skin and subcutaneous tissues, and eventual ulceration.
Ulceration of the GASTRIC MUCOSA due to contact with GASTRIC JUICE. It is often associated with HELICOBACTER PYLORI infection or consumption of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).
A PEPTIC ULCER located in the DUODENUM.
Ulcer that occurs in the regions of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT which come into contact with GASTRIC JUICE containing PEPSIN and GASTRIC ACID. It occurs when there are defects in the MUCOSA barrier. The common forms of peptic ulcers are associated with HELICOBACTER PYLORI and the consumption of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).
Ulceration of the skin and underlying structures of the lower extremity. About 90% of the cases are due to venous insufficiency (VARICOSE ULCER), 5% to arterial disease, and the remaining 5% to other causes.
An ulceration caused by prolonged pressure on the SKIN and TISSUES when one stays in one position for a long period of time, such as lying in bed. The bony areas of the body are the most frequently affected sites which become ischemic (ISCHEMIA) under sustained and constant pressure.
A skin ulcer is a breakdown of the skin's surface and underlying tissues, often caused by prolonged pressure, infection, or poor circulation, leading to a loss of continuity in the epidermis and dermis, potentially extending into deeper layers such as subcutaneous tissue, muscle, and bone.
Bleeding from a PEPTIC ULCER that can be located in any segment of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT.

Venous ulceration and continuous flow in the long saphenous vein. (1/283)

OBJECTIVE: To determine the clinical significance of continuous flow in the long saphenous vein in limbs with venous ulceration. DESIGN: Retrospective review. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Review of 1608 consecutive limbs undergoing colour duplex scanning for venous disease over a 43 month period. RESULTS: Continuous flow in the long saphenous vein is seen in 8% of limbs with venous ulceration and in 37% of limbs with deep venous obstruction. Sixty-six per cent of ulcerated limbs with continuous flow in the long saphenous vein had deep venous obstruction, 27% had deep venous reflux with cellulitis and 7% had lymphoedema in addition to venous ulceration. CONCLUSION: Continuous flow in the long saphenous vein in patients with venous ulceration should alert the clinician to the possibility of deep venous obstruction. Such limbs should be treated by compression bandaging with extreme caution.  (+info)

Perceived health in a randomised trial of treatment for chronic venous ulceration. (2/283)

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To observe changes in perceived health in patients during a clinical trial of treatments for venous leg ulceration. DESIGN: Randomised prospective factorial trial in patients with venous ulceration. Each patient randomised to a bandage, dressing and a drug. Perceived health assessed at entry and after 24 weeks. SETTING: Outpatient departments and patient's home. PATIENTS: Two hundred patients presenting to two vascular services in Falkirk and Edinburgh with chronic (duration > 2 months) non-healing venous ulceration. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND MAIN RESULTS: Analysis using the Nottingham Health Profile revealed that after 24 weeks there were significant improvements in all subscores (p < 0.01) with the exception of social isolation (p = 0.081). Patients with healed ulceration had improved in energy, pain, emotion, sleep and mobility compared with those whose ulceration failed to heal (p < 0.05). Patients randomised to four layer bandaging had significantly better energy (diff = 7.9, 95% CI 0.2, 15.6, p = 0.04) and mobility (diff = 4.5, 95% CI 0.0, 9.0, p = 0.046). This difference could be explained largely by the improved healing of patients randomised to this bandage system (67/97 vs. 50/103, OR = 2.37, 95% CI 1.31, 4.27). CONCLUSIONS: Improvements in perceived health were significantly greater in patients whose ulcers had completely healed. Methods of treatment which offer improved healing for patients with venous leg ulceration are likely to improve patients' perceived health status.  (+info)

Mid-term results of endoscopic perforator vein interruption for chronic venous insufficiency: lessons learned from the North American subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery registry. The North American Study Group. (3/283)

PURPOSE: The safety, feasibility, and early efficacy of subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery (SEPS) for the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency were established in a preliminary report. The long-term clinical outcome and the late complications after SEPS are as yet undetermined. METHODS: The North American Subfascial Endoscopic Perforator Surgery registry collected information on 148 SEPS procedures that were performed in 17 centers in the United States and Canada between August 1, 1993, and February 15, 1996. The data analysis in this study focused on mid-term outcome in 146 patients. RESULTS: One hundred forty-six patients (79 men and 67 women; mean age, 56 years; range, 27 to 87 years) underwent SEPS. One hundred and one patients (69%) had active ulcers (class 6), and 21 (14%) had healed ulcers (class 5). One hundred and three patients (71%) underwent concomitant venous procedures (stripping, 70; high ligation, 17; varicosity avulsion alone, 16). There were no deaths or pulmonary embolisms. One deep venous thrombosis occurred at 2 months. The follow-up periods averaged 24 months (range, 1 to 53 months). Cumulative ulcer healing at 1 year was 88% (median time to healing, 54 days). Concomitant ablation of superficial reflux and lack of deep venous obstruction predicted ulcer healing (P <.05). Clinical score improved from 8.93 to 3.98 at the last follow-up (P <. 0001). Cumulative ulcer recurrence at 1 year was 16% and at 2 years was 28% (standard error, < 10%). Post-thrombotic limbs had a higher 2-year cumulative recurrence rate (46%) than did those limbs with primary valvular incompetence (20%; P <.05). Twenty-eight of the 122 patients (23%) who had class 5 or class 6 ulcers before surgery had an active ulcer at the last follow-up examination. CONCLUSIONS: The interruption of perforators with ablation of superficial reflux is effective in decreasing the symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency and rapidly healing ulcers. Recurrence or new ulcer development, however, is still significant, particularly in post-thrombotic limbs. The reevaluation of the indications for SEPS is warranted because operations in patients without previous deep vein thrombosis are successful but operations in those patients with deep vein thrombosis are less successful. Operations on patients with deep vein occlusion have poor outcomes.  (+info)

Healing rates and cost efficacy of outpatient compression treatment for leg ulcers associated with venous insufficiency. (4/283)

OBJECTIVE: Although newer techniques to promote the healing of leg ulcers associated with chronic venous insufficiency are promising, improved healing rates and cost effectiveness are unproven. We prospectively followed a series of patients who underwent treatment with outpatient compression for venous stasis ulcers without adjuvant techniques to determine healing rates and costs of treatment. METHODS: Two hundred fifty-two patients with clinical or duplex scan evidence of chronic venous insufficiency and active leg ulcers underwent treatment with ambulatory compression techniques. The patients were prospectively followed with wound measurements at 1-week to 2-week intervals, and the factors that were associated with delayed healing were determined. RESULTS: Of all the ulcers, 57% were healed at 10 weeks of treatment and 75% were healed at 16 weeks. Ultimately, 96% of the ulcers healed, and only 1 major amputation was necessitated (0.4%). Initial ulcer size and moderate arterial insufficiency (ankle brachial index, 0.5 to 0.8; n = 34) were factors that were independently associated with delayed healing (P <.01). Patient age, ulcer duration before treatment, and morbid obesity did not significantly affect healing times. The cost of 10 weeks of outpatient treatment with compression techniques ranged from $1444 to $2711. CONCLUSION: The treatment of venous stasis ulcers with compression techniques results in reliable, cost-effective healing in most patients. Current adjuvant techniques may prove to be useful but are likely to be cost effective only in a minority of cases, particularly in patients with large initial ulcer size or arterial insufficiency.  (+info)

Redone endoscopic perforator surgery: feasibility and failure analysis. (5/283)

PURPOSE: In many hospitals and medical practices, subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery (SEPS) has become the treatment of choice in patients with incompetent perforator veins and active venous ulcers. A substantial number of surgeons consider SEPS to be an operation that can be performed only once because extensive scarring and narrowing of the subfascial space make a second endoscopic operation impossible. It is the purpose of this report to prove the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of a second SEPS procedure. METHODS: Within a period of 30 months, 105 primary SEPS procedures were performed in patients with healed or still active ulcers. In addition to these cases, within a period of 30 months, a consecutive number of 19 patients were examined and scheduled for a second SEPS procedure. All patients were in class 5 with healed ulcers or in class 6 with still active ulcers. The CEAP classification of the American Venous Forum was used to evaluate the results and to calculate the clinical, disability, and outcome scores. The redone operation was performed by using CO(2) insufflation, a dual-port technique, and subfascial balloon dissection. RESULTS: In two patients conversion to a conventional procedure was necessary. There were no major complications, but there was a 21% incidence of minor problems, such as hematoma or cellulitis. The mean total clinical score improved after surgery from 7.91 to 3.23 (P <.01), the disability score changed from 1.10 to 0.57 after surgery (P <.02), and the clinical outcome score was 1. 47 after surgery (P <.001). Cumulative ulcer healing could be achieved in 85.8% of class 6 patients. Failure analysis revealed that an incomplete subfascial dissection had been performed during the first endoscopic operation. A septum intermusculare medialis or an intact deep posterior fascia with incompetent Cockett II perforators were major factors contributing to the initial treatment failures. In addition to incompetent perforators, postthrombotic deep venous reflux was seen in eight (42.1%) patients, and four (21%) patients had a combination of secondary reflux and obstruction. CONCLUSION: Subfascial endoscopic procedures can be redone safely. In addition to exploring the superficial posterior compartment, the deep posterior compartment must be opened to prevent recurrent symptoms in patients with incompetent perforator veins.  (+info)

The proliferative capacity of neonatal skin fibroblasts is reduced after exposure to venous ulcer wound fluid: A potential mechanism for senescence in venous ulcers. (6/283)

PURPOSE: We have previously shown that fibroblasts cultured from venous ulcers display characteristics of senescence and have reduced growth rates. Susceptibility of young fibroblasts to the microcirculatory changes associated with venous ulcers, such as macrophage trapping and activation, could explain the prevalence of senescent fibroblasts in these wounds. METHODS: We tested the in vitro effect of venous ulcer wound fluid (VUWF), as well as pro-inflammatory cytokines known to be present in VUWF (TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and TGF-beta1), on neonatal foreskin fibroblasts (NFFs). NFF growth rates, cellular morphology, and senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA-beta-Gal) activity were determined in the presence or absence of VUWF and the above cytokines. VUWF TNF-alpha concentration and the effect of anti-TNF-alpha antibody on VUWF inhibitory activity were determined in samples obtained from four patients with venous ulcers. RESULTS: NFF growth rates were significantly reduced by VUWF (42,727 +/- 6301 vs 3902 +/- 2191 P =. 006). TNF-alpha also significantly reduced NFF growth rates in a dose-dependent manner (P =.01). No significant growth-inhibitory activity was seen for IL-1alpha or TGF-beta. Incubation with VUWF significantly increased the percentage of SA-beta-Gal-positive fibroblasts in vitro on culture day 12 (P =.02). TNF-alpha and TGF-beta1 had similar effects. TNF-alpha was detected in all VUWF tested, with a mean of 254 +/- 19 pg/mL. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that the venous ulcer microenvironment adversely affects young, rapidly proliferating fibroblasts such as NFFs and induces fibroblast senescence. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha and TGF-beta1 might be involved in this process. The role of other unknown inhibitory mediators, as well as pro-inflammatory cytokines, in venous ulcer development and impaired healing must be considered.  (+info)

Chronic venous insufficiency is associated with increased platelet and monocyte activation and aggregation. (7/283)

PURPOSE: This study assessed whether the increased numbers of platelet-monocyte aggregates observed in patients with venous stasis ulceration (VSU) represent a response to dermal ulceration or if it is a condition associated with underlying chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). We also analyzed the expression of CD11b in patients with CVI to determine whether leukocyte activation, known to occur in VSU, is a precursor of or a response to ulceration. METHODS: Patients with varying classes of CVI (n = 24) and healthy control subjects (n = 15), whose status was documented by means of duplex scanning, stood upright and stationary for 10 minutes. Two aliquots of blood, drawn from a distal leg vein and an antecubital fossa vein, were incubated with either buffer or one of three platelet agonists. After fixation, these samples were further incubated with fluorescent-labeled monoclonal antibodies (f-MoAb) specific for CD14 (monocytes) and CD61 (platelets). The activated leukocyte assay was performed by incubating another aliquot of the blood samples with f-MoAb specific for CD11b and CD14. All samples were evaluated by means of flow cytometry. RESULTS: We observed significantly more platelet-monocyte aggregates throughout the circulation in patients with CVI than in control subjects (29% vs. 8%; P <.0002). Furthermore, patients with CVI formed significantly more of these aggregates in response to all platelet agonists than did control subjects. There were no significant differences between baseline numbers of aggregates or response to agonists in patients who had CVI with (n = 10) or without (n = 14) ulceration. Patients with CVI had more circulating platelet-neutrophil aggregates than control subjects (7.2% vs. 3.6%; P =.05). The addition of platelet agonists to the blood of patients with CVI resulted in more platelet-neutrophil aggregates than in control subjects. Monocyte CD11b expression was higher in patients with CVI than in control subjects (7.5 vs. 3.7; P <.01), with no differences noted in CD11b expression between patients with or without ulceration. Neutrophil CD11b expression was low and similar in control subjects and patients with CVI. CONCLUSION: All classes of CVI are associated with significantly increased percentages of platelet-monocyte aggregates and increased percentages of platelet-neutrophil aggregates throughout the circulation. The presence of more of these aggregates and the increased propensity to form aggregates in the presence of platelet agonists in all classes of CVI suggests an underlying state of platelet activation and increased reactivity that is independent of the presence of ulceration. The increased expression of monocyte CD11b throughout the circulation in all classes of CVI suggests that although systemic monocyte activation occurs in CVI, its presence is independent of VSU as well.  (+info)

Venous morphology predicts class of chronic venous insufficiency. (8/283)

OBJECTIVES: this study aimed to determine specific morphological differences in long saphenous veins from patients with various grades of chronic venous insufficiency. DESIGN: comparable veins from a control group were compared with patients with either primary varicose veins or those with associated skin changes including venous ulcers. MATERIALS: below-knee segments of saphenous vein were examined from a total of 64 patients. METHODS: veins were examined for elastic-tissue disruption and endothelial-cell changes and comparisons made between clinical groups. RESULTS: elastic-tissue disruption, as measured by fragmentation of the elastic lamina and the percentage of the intimal-medial boundary containing elastin, increased with increasing severity of venous disease. Moreover, endothelial cells became more densely packed, as measured by endothelial cell and endothelial-cell nuclei density, with increasing severity of disease. Other measures such as the density of multinucleated "giant" endothelial cells and the number of nuclei per "giant" cell did not correlate with venous disease, however. CONCLUSIONS: this study demonstrates that several morphological characteristics of superficial saphenous veins correlate with severity of venous disease. In particular, the alterations to the structure of elastic tissue within these veins appears indicative of the progressive nature of chronic venous insufficiency.  (+info)

A varicose ulcer is a type of chronic wound that typically occurs on the lower leg, often as a result of poor circulation and venous insufficiency. These ulcers form when there is increased pressure in the veins, leading to damage and leakage of fluids into the surrounding tissues. Over time, this can cause the skin to break down and form an open sore or ulcer.

Varicose ulcers are often associated with varicose veins, which are swollen and twisted veins that are visible just beneath the surface of the skin. These veins have weakened walls and valves, which can lead to the pooling of blood and fluid in the lower legs. This increased pressure can cause damage to the surrounding tissues, leading to the formation of an ulcer.

Varicose ulcers are typically slow to heal and may require extensive treatment, including compression therapy, wound care, and sometimes surgery. Risk factors for developing varicose ulcers include obesity, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and a history of deep vein thrombosis or other circulatory problems.

A stomach ulcer, also known as a gastric ulcer, is a sore that forms in the lining of the stomach. It's caused by a breakdown in the mucous layer that protects the stomach from digestive juices, allowing acid to come into contact with the stomach lining and cause an ulcer. The most common causes are bacterial infection (usually by Helicobacter pylori) and long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Stomach ulcers may cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, heartburn, and nausea. If left untreated, they can lead to more serious complications like internal bleeding, perforation, or obstruction.

A duodenal ulcer is a type of peptic ulcer that develops in the lining of the first part of the small intestine, called the duodenum. It is characterized by a break in the mucosal layer of the duodinal wall, leading to tissue damage and inflammation. Duodenal ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between digestive acid and mucus production, which can be exacerbated by factors such as bacterial infection (commonly with Helicobacter pylori), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use, smoking, and stress. Symptoms may include gnawing or burning abdominal pain, often occurring a few hours after meals or during the night, bloating, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Complications can be severe, including bleeding, perforation, and obstruction of the duodenum. Diagnosis typically involves endoscopy, and treatment may include antibiotics (if H. pylori infection is present), acid-suppressing medications, lifestyle modifications, and potentially surgery in severe cases.

A peptic ulcer is a sore or erosion in the lining of your stomach and the first part of your small intestine (duodenum). The most common causes of peptic ulcers are bacterial infection and long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen.

The symptoms of a peptic ulcer include abdominal pain, often in the upper middle part of your abdomen, which can be dull, sharp, or burning and may come and go for several days or weeks. Other symptoms can include bloating, burping, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Severe ulcers can cause bleeding in the digestive tract, which can lead to anemia, black stools, or vomit that looks like coffee grounds.

If left untreated, peptic ulcers can result in serious complications such as perforation (a hole through the wall of the stomach or duodenum), obstruction (blockage of the digestive tract), and bleeding. Treatment for peptic ulcers typically involves medications to reduce acid production, neutralize stomach acid, and kill the bacteria causing the infection. In severe cases, surgery may be required.

A leg ulcer is a chronic wound that occurs on the lower extremities, typically on the inner or outer ankle. It's often caused by poor circulation, venous insufficiency, or diabetes. Leg ulcers can also result from injury, infection, or inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. These ulcers can be painful, and they may take a long time to heal, making them prone to infection. Proper diagnosis, treatment, and wound care are essential for healing leg ulcers and preventing complications.

A pressure ulcer, also known as a pressure injury or bedsore, is defined by the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP) as "localized damage to the skin and/or underlying soft tissue usually over a bony prominence or related to a medical or other device." The damage can be caused by intense and/or prolonged pressure or shear forces, or a combination of both. Pressure ulcers are staged based on their severity, ranging from an initial reddening of the skin (Stage 1) to full-thickness tissue loss that extends down to muscle and bone (Stage 4). Unstageable pressure ulcers are those in which the base of the wound is covered by yellow, tan, green or brown tissue and the extent of tissue damage is not visible. Suspected deep tissue injury (Suspected DTI) describes intact skin or non-blanchable redness of a localized area usually over a bony prominence due to pressure and/or shear. The area may be preceded by tissue that is painful, firm, mushy, boggy, warmer or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue.

A skin ulcer is a defined as a loss of continuity or disruption of the skin surface, often accompanied by inflammation and/or infection. These lesions can result from various causes including pressure, venous or arterial insufficiency, diabetes, and chronic dermatological conditions. Skin ulcers are typically characterized by their appearance, depth, location, and underlying cause. Common types of skin ulcers include pressure ulcers (also known as bedsores), venous leg ulcers, arterial ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers. Proper evaluation, wound care, management of underlying conditions, and prevention strategies are crucial in the treatment of skin ulcers to promote healing and prevent complications.

Peptic ulcer hemorrhage is a medical condition characterized by bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract due to a peptic ulcer. Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the lining of the stomach, lower esophagus, or small intestine. They are usually caused by infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori or long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

When a peptic ulcer bleeds, it can cause symptoms such as vomiting blood or passing black, tarry stools. In severe cases, the bleeding can lead to shock, which is a life-threatening condition characterized by a rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, and confusion. Peptic ulcer hemorrhage is a serious medical emergency that requires immediate treatment. Treatment may include medications to reduce stomach acid, antibiotics to eliminate H. pylori infection, and endoscopic procedures to stop the bleeding. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the ulcer or remove damaged tissue.
