To compare the disappearance of the telangiectasias after sclerotherapy with 75% glucose (HG) versus 0.2% sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS). This prospective, randomized clinical trial compared the results of sclerotherapy of the telangiectasias with HG and STS. The primary efficacy end point was telangiectasia disappearance within 14, 28, 42, and 56 days following treatment. The clearing of the vessels was assessed using a six-point scale (from 0 to 5). A total of 159 women were treated (81 in the STS group; 78 in the HG group). The median score of the vessels clearing (IQR) was significantly lower in the STS group than in the HG group: 3 (2–4) versus 4 (3–5) after 56 days, p < 0.001. Pigmentation was frequently observed in the STS group (38.3% vs 2.6%; p < 0.001). In conclusion, throughout the entire follow-up period, sclerotherapy of telangiectasias with glucose was significantly superior to that with STS. Moreover, pigmentation and intravascular clots frequently occurred with STS treatment. Registered at the Russian Registry of Treatment of Chronic Venous Diseases (RRT CVD); ID: VRCVD 1.005.

CL_MATCONT is a MATLAB package for the study of dynamical systems and their bifurcations. It uses a minimally augmented system for continuation of the Hopf curve. The Continuation of Invariant Subspaces (CIS) algorithm produces a smooth orthonormal basis for an invariant subspace [Formula: see text] of a parameter-dependent matrix A(s). We extend a minimally augmented system technique for location and continuation of Hopf bifurcations to large-scale problems using the CIS algorithm, which has been incorporated into CL_MATCONT. We compare this approach with using a standard augmented system and show that a minimally augmented system technique is more suitable for large-scale problems. We also suggest an improvement of a minimally augmented system technique for the case of the torus continuation.
