Objective To assess whether non-polluting, more effective home heating (heat pump, wood pellet burner, flued gas) has a positive effect on the health of children with asthma.
Venous hypertension results in endothelial activation which may aid endothelial-leukocyte adhesion. Patients with LDS exhibit increased VCAM-1, which is a counterligand for receptors expressed by monocytes and lymphocytes signifying that these cells may be more important in the development of skin changes.
We found no benefit in wearing compression stockings for more than one week following uncomplicated high saphenous ligation with stripping of the great saphenous vein with respect to post-operative pain, number of complications, time to return to work, or patient satisfaction for up to 12 weeks following surgery.
Venous hypertension results in sequestration of the more activated population of neutrophils and monocytes in the microcirculation of the leg in patients with venous disease. These cells bind to the endothelium, releasing L-selectin, and do not emerge from the limb when venous hypertension is reversed. These findings do not differ between patients with varicose veins and those with skin changes.
Background: To compare the intraocular pressure readings obtained with the iCare rebound tonometer and the 7CR non-contact tonometer with those measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry in treated glaucoma patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
