The ischemic leg

Relief of ischemic leg pain with intermittent positive pressure.

Effects of ischemic training on leg exercise endurance.

This study tested whether ischemic exercise training (Tr(IS+EX)) would increase endurance of ischemic (Ex(IS)) and ramp exercise (Ex(RA)) knee-extension tests more than exercise training (Tr(EX)) alone. Ten healthy subjects performed pre- and posttraining tests with each leg. For Ex(RA), after subjects warmed up, a weight was added each minute until they were exhausted. Ex(IS) was similar, but ...

Martorell hypertensive ischemic leg ulcer: a model of ischemic subcutaneous arteriolosclerosis.

OBJECTIVES To better define the diagnosis and treatment of Martorell hypertensive ischemic leg ulcer (HYTILU) and to compare Martorell HYTILU with calciphylaxis (calcific uremic arteriolopathy) and nonuremic forms of calciphylaxis. DESIGN Retrospective study from 1999 through 2007. SETTING Department of Dermatology, University Hospital of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland. PARTICIPANTS Of 330 p...

Lumber sympathectomy in the treatment of hypertensive ischemic ulcers of the leg (Martorell's syndrome).

Evaluating the effect of short ischemic periods on subsequent rat renal ischemic injury

Introduction: Using brief episodes of ischemia and reperfusion (IR) prior to a more sustained IR insult – ischemic preconditioning (IPC) – can reduce IR injury of the heart, brain and many other tissues. The purpose of present study was to investigate the effect of 2min ischemic periods on subsequent rat renal IR injury. Methods: Male rat's renal IR injury was investigated in a right nephrectom...
