Leg ulcers in sickle cell disease.
Sickle cell disease is a single amino acid molecular disorder of hemoglobin leading to its pathological polymerization, red cell rigidity that causes poor microvascular blood flow, with consequent tissue ischemia and infarction. The manifestations of this disease are protean.Among them, leg ulcers represent a particularly disabling and chronic complication, often associated with a more severe c...
متن کاملLow-Frequency Temperature Oscillations of Leg Ulcers in Patients with Sickle Cell Anemia
Infrared (IR) imaging and Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) were used to measure skin temperature and blood flow, respectively, in leg ulcers of sickle cell anemia patients. Regional maps of the power of oscillations were computed via Fast Fourier Transform within the ulcers and surrounding tissues. We hypothesize that measurements of regional oscillations of temperature and perfusion by IR...
متن کاملLeg ulcers in severity of sickle cell diseases
Objective : Background: We tried to understand whether or not there are some positive correlations between leg ulcers and severity of sickle cell diseases (SCDs). Methods: All patients with SCDs were taken into the study. Results: The study included 346 patients with the SCDs (175 males). There were 50 cases (14.4%) with leg ulcers. Interestingly, the male ratio was significantly higher in pati...
متن کاملTreatment of painful sickle cell leg ulcers with topical opioids.

The pain of these ulcers may be severe, excruciating, penetrating, sharp, and stinging in nature. In most patients, oral or parenteral opioid analgesics may be needed to achieve some pain relief. We wish to report our experience wit...
