Abstract Background Transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCD) provides information on intracranial blood flow status in stroke patients and can predict rehabilitation outcomes. Objective This study aimed to assess middle cerebral artery (MCA) parameters using TCCD in MCA territory stroke patients admitted for rehabilitation and correlate with clinical outcome measures. Material and Methods Patients aged 18 to 65 years with a first MCA territory stroke, within 6 months of onset were recruited. The clinical outcome scales and TCCD parameters were assessed at both admission and discharge. The scales used were the Scandinavian stroke scale (SSS), Barthel Index (BI), modified Rankin Scale (mRS), Fugl–Meyer upper extremity scale (FMA-UE), modified motor assessment scale (mMAS) scores. TCCD parameters measured were MCA peak systolic, end diastolic, mean flow velocities (MFV), and index of symmetry (SI) and were correlated with clinical scores. Results Fourteen patients were recruited with median age of 56.5 years, median duration of stroke was 42.5 days. Mean flow velocities of affected and unaffected MCA were 46.2 and 50.7 cm/s, respectively. Flow velocities and SI did not change between the two assessments. There was significant improvement in clinical outcome scores at discharge. Significant correlation was observed for patient group with SI > 0.9 at admission with FMA-UE, SSS, and BI scores at discharge (p < 0.05). Conclusion Flow velocity parameters did not change during in-patient rehabilitation. Patients with symmetric flow at admission had improved clinical outcomes measure scores at discharge. Thus SI can predict rehabilitation outcomes in stroke survivors.

Vein Disease

Introduction: Lower extremity varicose vein disease is one of the common problems in vascular surgery. Clinically, this disease is accompanied by a wide range of complaints and external symptoms, which eventually lead to a worse patients’ quality of life. The integrated approach is being applied to the disease treatment, which involves the use of various phlebotropic drugs as conservative therapy along with minimally invasive surgical correction and sclerotherapy.Objective: to improve the quality of phlebotropic therapy for patients with lower extremity varicose vein disease, based on the study of factors that shape the patient’s compliance with the effective treatment of clinical symptoms. The term «compliance» means the precise and informed implementation of the doctor’s recommendations during the treatment by the patient. Most often, «compliance» is assessed by the drug use index, which is the quotient of dividing the number of days on which the full dose of the drug was taken by the duration of the entire study period. Materials and methods: The analysis of 368 + 111 patients with lower extremity varicose vein disease was carried out. Of these, 111 patients turned out to be beyond the correct study of compliance (a phlebectomy was performed in a hospital). 368 patients were divided into the following groups: Group 1: the patients, who were assigned modern surgical treatment of varicose veins (endovenous laser coagulation, scleroobliteration); Group 2: the patients, who withdrew from assigned interventions. As it turned out, the different groups of patients differed in compliance.Results. The patients who were shown and performed surgical treatment – 320 (86.9%), can be considered highly compliant with the prescribed conservative therapy – the average value of the compliance index is 0.83, compared to the representatives who refused to perform the recommended surgical procedures recommended by them – 48 (13.1%), the compliance index is 0.78.In the course of the investigation, the factors shaping compliance with phlebotropic drugs were identified, a comparative assessment was carried out on the main indicators of the effectiveness of phlebotropic drugs.Conclusion. Thus, the compliance of the patients suffering from LEVVV during the treatment with phlebotropic drugs varies depending on the multiplicity and convenience of the form of the drug, on the effectiveness of the proposed phlebotropic therapy according to the influence on the complaints and symptoms, on the psychological readiness of the patient to entrust the result of the final treatment of the disease to the surgeon.
