Failed back syndrome (abbreviated as FBS) is a condition characterized by chronic pain following back surgeries. [1] [2] The term "post-laminectomy syndrome" is sometimes used by doctors to indicate the same condition as failed back syndrome. [3]
The Flak 38 was accepted as the standard Army gun in 1939, and by the Kriegsmarine as the 2 cm C/38. In order to provide airborne and mountain troops with an AA capability, Mauser was contracted to produce a lighter version of the Flak 38, which they introduced as the 2 cm Gebirgsflak 38 (2 cm GebFlaK 38). It featured a dramatically simplified ...
This rare, potentially life-threatening syndrome is typically caused by an angle of 6–25° between the AA and the SMA, in comparison to the normal range of 38–56°, due to a lack of retroperitoneal and visceral fat (mesenteric fat). In addition, the aortomesenteric distance is 2–8 millimeters, as opposed to the typical 10–20. [1]
5-10 out of 100,000 (From 1 in 10,000-20,000) Inferior vena cava syndrome ( IVCS ) is a very rare constellation of symptoms resulting from either obstruction or stenosis of the inferior vena cava . It can be caused by physical invasion or compression by a pathological process, or by thrombosis within the vein itself.
The vein can be identified near the saphenous ostium by a typical ultrasonographic image the so-called Mickey mouse sign (the 2 ears will be the GSV and the ASV, the head is the common femoral vein). When the ultrasonography is performed, we can see it running across the anterior face of the thigh in a plan outside the femoral vessels, the GSV ...
[2]: 826–7 [3] Superficial thrombophlebitis is due to inflammation and/or thrombosis , and,less commonly, infection of the vein. It is generally a benign, self-limiting disorder; however, it can be complicated by deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and even pulmonary embolism (PE) [ 4 ] Migratory superficial thrombophlebitis is known as Trousseau's ...
Dodd's perforator at the inferior 1/3 of the thigh; Boyd's perforator at the knee level; Cockett's perforators at the inferior 2/3 of the leg (usually there are three: superior medium and inferior Cockett perforators) Others have the name of the deep vein where they drain: Medial gastrocnemius perforator, draining into the gastrocnemius vein
