Auto-Adjustable MOBIDERm Autofit Armsleeve in the Management of Upper Limb Lymphedema.
This study aims to assess Auto-Adjustable MOBIDERM® Autofit Armsleeve effect on upper limb volume excess compared to the compression bandages to manage the volume of upper limb lymphedema in patients with breast cancer related lymphedema
Effect of CKC and WS Exercises on Postural Stability in Unilateral Post Mastectomy Lymphedema
Post-mastectomy lymphedema is one of the most common chronic complications that significantly impacts patients' quality of life following breast cancer surgery. postural stability is maintained through the intricate integration of muscular forces, sensory input from mechanoreceptors, and biomechanical feedback. closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercises play a crucial role in enhancing …
Nomogram to Predict Breast Cancer Related Lymphedema
It has been hypothesized that damaged arm lymphatic drainage is associated with the arm lymphedema after axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). However, the majority of breast cancer patients with complete ALND has not suffered from arm lymphedema, which appears to be due to the residual arm lymph nodes that has …
Inelastic Compression in Edema After Revascularization
The appearance of revascularization edema of the lower limb is a frequent complication in peripheral vascular surgery. It can lead to a delay in healing and even to trophic disorders. The prevention and treatment of this complication have so far been limited to postural measures (elevation of the limbs), in …
Testing for Increased Lipoproteins (a) [LP(a)] in Lymphedema Patients: Li-LY
Lymphedema is a chronic disease that causes lymph to accumulate in the interstitial tissue. The lymphatic network is involved in the metabolism of lipids and lipoproteins, and this accumulation leads to lipid deposits in the tissues involved. The level of lipoprotein(a) [LP(a)] has been shown to be a cardiovascular risk …
Effects of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy and Pulse Electromagnetic Field Therapy on Lymphoedema
Lymphedema occurs not only in patients with breast cancer and gynecological cancers but also in those where lymphatic drainage is obstructed. Accumulation of lymphatic fluid within tissues results in limb swelling. Additionally, proteins present in lymphatic fluid might lead to fibrosis within tissues, causing various challenges for patients. The changes …
Lymphedema After Gyneco-oncologic Treatment
Trial developed to inventory the incidence of early and advanced stage lower limb lymphedema in patients diagnosed with and treated for gynaecologic cancer. Four hundred patients with diagnosis stage 1-3 gynaecologic cancer will be included in an observational cohort between diagnosis until maximum 2 weeks after start of the first …
Lymphedema Prevention Through Immediate Lymphatic Reconstruction (LILY) Trial.
To learn if reconstruction of the lymphatic system at the time of axillary lymphadenectomy can reduce the risk of developing lymphedema.
Pedal Pump and Leg Lymphedema
Chronic lymphedema in the lower extremities is a common problem found in older adults that can result in cellulitis, poor wound healing, venous stasis ulcers, and other comorbidities. Compressive therapies are the present gold standard for the manual treatment of lymphedema in the lower extremities. However, the benefits of these …
Efficacy of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in Treating Upper and Lower Extremity Lymphedema
Lymphedema affects millions and currently lacks effective drug treatments, relying mainly on compression therapy. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have shown potential in managing obesity and diabetes, which can worsen lymphedema. Although anecdotal evidence suggests benefits of GLP-1 RAs for lymphedema patients, rigorous prospective studies are lacking. This study …
