“…The accuracy and reproducibility of 3D volume measurements in an esophageal varix model were studied. 53 The measured volumes corresponded closely with the actual volumes, with errors ranging from 0% to 15.4%. The correlation between actual and measured volumes was r = 0.988.…”

High-resolution endoluminal sonography is a new sonographic approach for evaluation of the genitourinary and gastrointestinal tracts. This should lead to the expansion of the diagnostic capabilities of sonography, providing important information for decision making relative to patient care and minimally invasive interventional procedures. Reconstructed three-dimensional endoluminal sonography has the potential to become a valuable tool in both the research and clinical areas.

“…Varicose veins are skin-deep dilated and zigzagged veins due to structural defects and performance of the saphenous veins or inherent weakness of the vein wall or rarely due to the Artery -IV fi stulas. More than 20 million adult Americans suffer from varicose vein disease and the disease causes a sickly condition which results in the reduction of a patient's performance (Chung, McCray et al 2000). These veins are related to leg swelling, pain, dermatitis, phlebitis and ulcers, Patients with venous insuffi ciency often complain of pain in their legs that worsen with prolonged standing and relieved by elevating the feet.…”

The aim of the present research was to examine the effect of micro needling therapy on quality of life in women suffering from skin-deep varicose leg. For this purpose 20 patients with varicose veins of the lower limb with the height of 6/1 ± 163/1 cm, weight 4/6 ± 70/1 kg and fat content 6/5 ± 32/4 were selected purposefully, as the subjects. After randomization of subjects into two groups of 10 subjects for 20 weeks, every 4 weeks for a total of 5 sessions a meeting with patients was conducted using Micro needling, the control group did not have any therapeutic intervention. To analyze the data, independent t-test at a signifi cance level of 05/0> P were used. The fi ndings show that between the measured values of quality of life index before and after the test respectively, there is signifi cant increase and a signifi cant reduction of 05/0> P. The results showed that the use of micro-needling can be considered as a safe and effective treatment in enhancing the quality of life in patients with varicose veins of lower limbs.

“…A high−resolution EUS−based method can be used to determine variceal volume in a varix model and in patients with portal hy− pertension and esophageal varices [65]. Since these measure− ments correspond closely with the actual measurements, this technique can possibly be used in the assessment of the effects of pharmacological therapy on portal hypertension.…”

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has significantly improved our understanding of the complex vascular structural changes that occur in portal hypertension and their clinical and prognostic significance. EUS in combination with color Doppler technique enables us to study the hemodynamic changes in the portal venous system noninvasively, and to determine objectively the effect of different pharmacological agents on portal hypertension. EUS has also found some role in the treatment and follow up of esophageal and gastric varices. It may play a clinical role in the diagnosis of gastric, duodenal, and rectal varices. Recently reported EUS-based devices that measure variceal wall tension and intravariceal pressure noninvasively could have an impact on the identification of patients at high risk of variceal bleeding with the aim of initiating prophylactic treatment, and in the assessment of patients' responses to drug therapy of portal hypertension. EUS is occasionally very helpful in the clinical management of portal hypertension. It is an interesting and important research tool for many experimental indications that are not routinely applied in clinical practice at this time.
