Use of Passive Exercise to Transiently Increase Blood Flow in the Lower and Upper Extremities

Introduction. Vibration disease (VD) is an example of the most common pathology due to the systematic exposure of the worker to intense vibration with sufficient work experience, the main manifestation of which is peripheral angiodystonic syndrome. The aim of study was to learn the features of peripheral blood flow in the arteries of the forearm in vibration disease using the ultrasound method. Materials and methods. The radial and ulnar arteries in patients with vibration disease were examined by ultrasound in B- and PW-mode. These materials present the results of an ultrasound assessment of the speed indicators of the main arteries of the forearm in vibration disease stages 1 and 2. The selection criteria for patients in the study ware the presence of pronounced clinical manifestations of angiodystonic syndrome in vibration disease, confirmed by instrumental research methods and data on the sanitary and hygienic characteristics of working conditions, the absence of cardiovascular chronic diseases (ischemic heart disease, heart defects, rhythm and conduction disturbances), rheumatic, oncological, infectious diseases, osteo-traumatic changes in the upper extremities. Results. The groups of patients with the established diagnosis of vibration disease of 1 and 2 degrees were studied. With vibration disease stage 1 a decrease in the pulse velocity of blood flow was observed in isolation on the ulnar artery and an increase in peripheral resistance (pulsation index and resistance index) in the radial and ulnar arteries symmetrically on both upper extremities. The second stage of vibration disease differed from the first by a more significant decrease in speed indicators both on the ulnar and radial arteries on both sides, symmetrically in combination with a more pronounced increase in peripheral resistance indicators on both main arteries of the forearm (pulsation index and resistance index). The revealed changes were determined with the same frequency in men and women. Conclusions. A significant decrease in speed indicators on the ulnar artery and an increase in peripheral resistance indicators are detected already at the initial stages of vibration disease. Thus, the method of ultrasound examination of the main arteries of the middle caliber of the upper extremities is currently the only available and objective method for examining the vascular system in vibration disease.

Boutonnière Deformity

Boutonniere deformities are a common injury to the extensor mechanism of the finger. The deformity results in fixed contraction in the medial finger joint, and is severely debilitating to functionality. Due to the complexity of the mechanism, surgical procedures are difficult, expensive, and often unsuccessful. However, nonsurgical treatment of the deformity has not changed in many years and remains time consuming and mostly ineffective. The goal of this work is to develop an improved mechanical brace, to correct the deformity, by utilizing unconventional materials such as Nitinol and proven therapeutic techniques such as heat and motion to increase blood flow to the damaged tissue.

Pharmacological Method

Hydrotherapy non-pharmacological treatment for hypertension during pregnancy needs to be developed because it is safe for mother and fetus. Hydrotherapy soaking feet using warm water can increase vasodilation and increase blood flow, thereby lowering blood pressure. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of foot soaking with warm water to reduce hypertension in pregnant women. The pre-experimental research design was one group pretest posttest, which measured blood pressure before and after warm water therapy was given to pregnant women with hypertension for three days. The research sample was selected using purposive sampling method and the number was 15 people. Data analysis was performed by using paired sample T-Test. Results: Giving hydrotherapy soaking feet using warm water reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure in pregnant women (p = 0.000 <0.05). Hydrotherapy is effective in reducing systolic blood pressure by 13-16 mmHg and diastolic by 8-9 mmHg. Conclusion: Hydrotherapy soaking feet using warm water is effective in reducing hypertension of pregnant women who go to dr. Jerry Kp. Kulon waterfall. Suggestion: Apply the foot soaking method with warm water as a non-pharmacological method of hypertension in pregnant women.

In this study we used laser doppler flowmetry to investigate the parameters of peripheral blood flow in the upper extremities in young males both right- and left-handers. Based on the data obtained we found that in right-handers (dextrals) active mechanisms of regulation of blood microcirculation prevail on the leading hand, In left-handers (sinestrals) active and passive mechanisms of its regulation are involved in the regulation of blood flow on the leading hand (left) and on the opposite (right). However, the contribution of active mechanisms is lower than that of right-handers.

The main goals of acute and long-term skincare are the protection and improvement of skin health and integrity. Skincare involves several procedures that help maintain the skin's integrity, improve its appearance, and alleviate skin problems. Proper blood flow is in dire need for the skin to absorb vital ingredients. There are many conventional treatments to help increase blood flow and recently it was discovered that connecting the with the electrical charges of the Earth, or “Grounding” can promote healthy blood flow in the facial region. Additionally, such effects of grounding do not seem limited to the facial region but are rather systemic, essential and are often quickly observable. Grounding also seems to reduce secondary injury, collateral sprouting, and nerve sensitization. In grounded patients, an increase in blood flow was clearly seen when compared directly to ungrounded subjects. The results of documented studies explain that even short contact with the Earth helps to restore blood flow regulation suggesting enhanced skin tissue repair and improved skin appearance with possible implications for overall health.

Femoral Catheter

Background Hemodialysis access is a challenging problem in patients with exhausted dialysis access sites of their upper extremities. Femoral arterio-venous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft is often necessary. The safety and efficacy of cuffed tunneled catheters at the femoral site for long-term hemodialysis has not been extensively studied. Methods We inserted 14 cuffed-tunneled femoral catheters in 11 hemodialysis patients with exhausted dialysis access sites of their upper extremities. Access survival and risk of infection were compared with the 11 femoral PTFE grafts in 10 patients of our center during the same period. The choice of dialysis access was determined by the individual nephrologist. Access survival was defined as the achievement of a blood flow rate of at least 180 ml/min. Results The median survival of tunneled femoral catheter and PTFE graft were 166 days and 560 days respectively (log-rank test, p = 0.33). Seven of the 14 tunneled femoral catheter remained in use 3 months after insertion. The incidence of catheter- or graft-related infection was 0.38 and 0.23 episodes per 100 catheter / graft days for tunneled femoral catheters and PTFE graft respectively (p = 0.6). Five tunneled catheters and one PTFE graft had to be removed because of infection. Blood flow rates achieved were comparable between tunneled femoral catheter and PTFE graft. Conclusions Our preliminary data suggest that the cuffed tunneled femoral catheter has reasonable access survival and an acceptable risk of infection. It may provide a safe and effective access for long-term hemodialysis patients with exhausted access in their upper extremities, especially high risk patients who are not suitable for femoral PTFE graft creation.
