Two groups of patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) ankle swelling) were treated with Linfavenix or with below-knee elastic compression. The average ambulatory venous pressure (AVP) at inclusion (both groups)was 56.2 (range 48-55) with a refilling time (RT) shorter than 10 seconds. These parameters indicated a severe level of venous hypertension. There were no significant differences in AVP and RT between the two groups. The two groups of subjects with CVI were comparable; in the Linfavenix group there were 14 patients (age 44.5; sd 4; range 34-55; 7 females); in the elastic compression group there were 12 patients (45.4;5; range 36-56; 7 females). The clinical picture and microcirculatory parameters at inclusion were comparable. RF was comparable at inclusion in the t...

In such vulnerable population, it is imperative to rehabilitate the patient in shortest possible time to regain the functionality of the injured joint and thus assure ambulation. The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of locally applied and orally administered ketoprofen in a group of 41 patients with vascular diseases of lower limbs with accidental grade I ankle sprain. Forty one patients were included in this study and divided into in three treatment groups: ketoprofen 10% spray gel* (360 mg/die), oral ketoprofen (tablets, 25 mg t.i.d. and control group (no pharmacological treatment). The duration of treatment was one week. The three groups of patients were comparable for age and sex distribution and for the clinical characteristics at inclusion. After seven days of treatment all patients experi...

Women with hemorrhoids after their second pregnancy were included within the third month after pregnancy. Pycnogenol dosage was 150 mg/day for 6 months. Symptoms for 4th and 3rd degree hemorrhoids were evaluated. The registry groups were comparable. For 4th degree hemorrhoids, main symptoms were reduced after 6 months in all patients, but the group using Pycnogenol in addition to standard best management showed more improvement. In patients with 3rd degree hemorrhoids, symptoms were reduced in both management groups at 6 months; with Pycnogenol the reduction in symptoms scores was significantly better. At 6 months 18/24 subjects (75%) in the Pycnogenol group were symptom-free in comparison with 14/25 (...

Patients were included in an average 8-month follow-up registry. At the end of the study 3 spontaneous groups emerged: a group treated with HR 2 g/day, a second group with HR 1 g/day and elastic stockings, and another group with stockings only. The age range was between 45 and 55. The 3 resulting groups were comparable clinically and for age/sex distribution. There were no differences in ambulatory venous pressure (AVP) at inclusion; microcirculatory and clinical evaluations were comparable. At 8 months there was a decrease in skin resting flux in all groups. Better results (P<0.05) were obtained in the group using the higher dosage and the associated treatment. Stockings alone were less effective (P<0.05). There was significant decrease (P<0.05) in capillary filtration (RAS) in all groups w...

It was given to subjects affected by high cholesterol levels. The formula was used in combination with mild physical exercise (8 MET/h/week) and mild diet (reduction of cholesterol intake through foods containing <80 mg/100 g). The product combination was tested in an 8-week registry study, comparing those subjects to 33 subjects with no Antilip® treatment but following the same mild exercise training and diet. Results showed that Antilip® was effective in significantly reducing the total cholesterol levels from 268+/-23.2 to 201+/-11.4, whereas in the control group the reduction was almost absent (from 273+/-27 to 267+/-28). Data shows that Antilip® is a safe and effective treatment for hypercholesterolemia.

An elevated number of circulating endothelial cells indicates the extent of endothelial damage in a variety of disorders. In chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), the number of endothelial cells is abnormally increased, and this can be considered an important indication of endothelial damage. A group of 23 subjects with two levels of CVI (severe and very severe with previous ulcerations) with an increased endothelial cell count (seen by microscopy) was studied and treated for 4 weeks with oral Venoruton (0-[beta-hydroxyethyl]-rutosides) (1 g/day) to evaluate the effects of treatment on the circulating endothelial cells in blood taken from a peripheral leg vein. The controls comprised two groups with comparable age and sex distribution, one of healthy individuals and one of CVI subjects. After 4 weeks, a significant decrease was noted in endothelial cells both in subjects with ...

A group of 86 patients with severe chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), venous hypertension, ankle swelling) and previous history of venous ulcerations received either oral Pycnogenol (capsules) 150 mg or 300 mg daily for 8 weeks or Daflon, 1000 mg/day. All patients completed the study without dropouts. At the end of the study, microcirculatory results indicated: a progressive decrease of skin flux at rest (RF); a significant decrease in capillary filtration (RAS); an improvement in the symptomatic venous score (ASLS); a reduction in edema; a significant improvement (increase) in pO2 and a decrease in pCO2 in the Pycnogenol group. A significant level of improvement was reached after 4 weeks of treatment in most patients (p < .05...

Vengono così indicati i nomi degli eletti alle cariche di Provinciale e definitori, le nomine dei superiori locali, i “guardiani”, le direttive e le disposizioni disciplinari, i provvedimenti a carico di singoli religiosi ecc. Sulla base di tali notizie ufficiali, di carattere puramente istituzionale, sono stati ricostruiti alcuni interessanti aspetti della storia di tre secoli dei Cappuccini in Abruzzo dal 1620 al 1940. Il tutto inserito nel contesto delle vicende del regno dell’Italia meridionale, individuando i rapporti con il potere politico e con i principali rappresentanti dei ceti nobiliari ed emergenti in ambito locale. Ne sono emersi alcuni dei più rilevanti tratti della convivenza comunitaria, delle attività dei religiosi, dei comportamenti e delle scelte ideologiche di alcuni frati nelle diverse contingenze politiche.
