INTRODUCTION: Stasis dermatitis (SD), also known as venous dermatitis, is a form of inflammatory dermatitis of the lower extremities that typically occurs in older individuals and represents a cutaneous manifestation of venous hypertension. Venous hypertension (also known as sustained ambulatory venous pressure) is most often due to retrograde blood flow, which occurs due to calf muscle pump failure. This failure is most commonly secondary to incompetent venous valves, valve destruction, or obstruction of the venous system...

Lanolin is a complex mixture of high molecular weight esters, aliphatic alcohols, sterols, fatty acids, and hydrocarbons that has been widely used for centuries for its emollient properties. The purification of crude lanolin into lanolin wax and the processing of this wax into various derivatives began in 1882 and continue to this day with newer highly purified anhydrous lanolins. Controversy as to lanolin's allergenicity began in the 1920s and remains an issue. The most appropriate patch test preparation(s) for detecting allergy remain disputed...

Venous leg ulcers, the most common leg ulcer, occur in patients with chronic venous insufficiency due to venous hypertension. Evidence supports the conservative treatment with lower extremity compression, ideally between 30-40 mm Hg. Pressures in this range provide enough force to partially collapse lower extremity veins without restricting arterial flow in patients without peripheral arterial disease. There are many options for applying such compression, and those who apply these devices have varying levels of training and backgrounds...

Stasis dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of the lower extremities. It typically occurs in older individuals and is the cutaneous manifestation of venous hypertension caused by venous reflux. Such retrograde venous blood flow is the result of incompetent venous valves, valve destruction, or venous obstruction. Stasis dermatitis is eczematous. The associated impairment of venous valves may cause swelling of the legs, leading to serious conditions including venous ulcerations. Diagnosis can be challenging because of its clinical resemblance to other skin conditions and poor clinical recognition by physicians...

A 50-year-old man was referred to our hospital for colitis with abdominal pain and diarrhea that had persisted for more than 8 months. 9 months earlier, he had been treated for fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis. During steroid therapy, ulceration appeared in the esophagus, stomach and large intestine. The biopsy results showed cytomegalovirus (CMV) inclusion bodies, and the patient was diagnosed with CMV gastrocolitis and treated with ganciclovir. Colonoscopy 7 months earlier revealed ischemia-like segmental colitis 10 cm in length in the hepatic flexure without evidence of CMV infection...

BACKGROUND: We have recently demonstrated in a large patient cohort that the prevalence and severity of reflux improves in most limbs post-stenting while the majority of limbs do not develop new onset of reflux. In this particular report, we focus on the long term clinical outcomes associated with untreated reflux in the same patient cohort who underwent iliofemoral venous stenting without correction of residual reflux. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Clinical outcomes data from 1379 limbs who underwent only iliac vein stenting without the correction of superficial or deep reflux from 1997 to 2018 was analyzed (23-year follow-up period): 632 (46%) limbs had pre-existing reflux prior to stenting while 747 (54%) limbs did not...

The gut microbiota is a complex community of microorganisms that inhabit the digestive tracts of humans, living in symbiosis with the host. Dysbiosis, characterized by an imbalance between the beneficial and opportunistic gut microbiota, is associated with several gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), represented by ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease; and colorectal cancer (CRC). Dysbiosis can disrupt the mucosal barrier, resulting in perpetuation of inflammation and carcinogenesis...

BACKGROUND: Shaoyao Decoction (SYD) is a canonical herbal medicine prescription formulated by Liu Wan-Su in AD 1186. SYD has been widely used to treat inflammatory bowel disease by clearing heat and damp, removing stasis toxin in the intestine; however, the precise mechanisms and therapeutic material basis remain largely unclear. In the present study, we measured the effects of SYD on colitis symptom, epithelial barrier function, epithelial ferroptosis, colonic protein and mRNA expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) in colitis model, and determined whether SYD restored barrier loss in colitis by modulation of GPX4-regulated ferroptosis pathway...

INTRODUCTION: Due to venous insufficiency, a vascular ulcer frequently occurs with the progression of stasis dermatitis. Achromic melanoma, a rare form of pigmentless melanoma frequently located on the sole of the foot, is often and easily confused with a typical wound. Diagnosis of ulcerated achromic melanoma is thus often delayed and associated with a poor prognosis. CASE REPORT: The authors report a very rare case of malignant melanoma in a 70-year-old female with stasis dermatitis...

Chronic, non-healing venous ulcers of the lower extremity are often limb-threatening conditions. Their management is characterized by a prolonged and frequently frustrating clinical course that represents an economic burden to both the patient and healthcare system. During the last two decades, thermal ablation of underlying incompetent venous systems has been extensively utilized to treat chronic venous insufficiency. Despite successful correction of venous hypertension, a substantial subgroup of patients remain affected by non-healing venous ulcers, thus posing a significant clinical challenge...
