Characteristics of the descending genicular artery blood flow velocity in patients with knee osteoarthritis

Posterior Tibial Artery Blood Flow Velocity Is Increased in Patients with Plantar Heel Pain

“…According to the image evaluations of plantar fasciitis in patients with PHP, the plantar fascia thickens to ≥4 mm [ 25 , 26 ], the low echoic region or storage of the fluid component occurs around the plantar fasciitis [ 26 ], and abnormal blood flow occurs [ 12 , 27 ]. Abnormal angiogenesis occurs at the site of injury in chronic musculoskeletal diseases [ 28 , 29 ], and the blood flow velocity in the vessels in the area increases [ 8 , 9 ]. To the best of our knowledge, no research has evaluated the blood flow velocity of the PTA.…”

“…The Noblus ultrasound system (Hitachi Medical Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) was used to obtain measurements according to a previously published method [ 9 ]. Measurements were obtained using the brightness mode (B-mode), color Doppler, and pulse Doppler methods and a 4–8-MHz linear probe.…”

“…Recently, blood flow velocity was related to pain in the lower back [ 7 ], as well as shoulder [ 8 ] and knee joints [ 9 ], discovered through ultrasound diagnostic imaging, which is a non-invasive method of examining the body internally. When tissue damage occurs, the body increases its blood flow rate, increasing blood flow to the injured area and promoting tissue healing.…”

Changes in blood flow in the dorsal scapular artery and relationship to shoulder joint function in rotator cuff tears

“… 31 This could be due to an increase in blood flow velocity to supply blood to the abnormally increased neovascularization of the synovium. 8 Sachinis et al investigated blood biomarkers for the pathogenesis of pain in RCTs and revealed that inflammation and substance P, interleukin (IL)1a, IL1b, IL2, IL6, IL8, IL10, tumor necrosis factor -α, and vascular endothelial growth factor were related. 24 This suggests that increased inflammatory cytokines cause peritendinous pain and increased blood flow velocity around the rotator cuff.…”
