TREATING INOPERABLE CIRCULATION DISORDERS
In November 2001, Paul S. van Bemmelen, MD, PhD , clinical assistant professor of surgery, and fellow members of our vascular surgery division published an article in the Archives of Surgery describing the clinical study of a nonsurgical treatment of inoperable circulation disorders. This novel treatment is good news for patients with poor circulation who are not good surgical candidates. The first author of the report, Dr. van Bemmelen is a pioneer in the use of external intermittent compression devices for treating circulation disorders in patients for whom surgery is not possible. Good news for patients with poor circulation who are not good surgical candidates Dr. van Bemmelen is the inventor of the patented arterial assist device called ArtAssist , which is currently used throughout the world. He has the longest clinical experience with the use of this device for the treatment of rest-pain, necrosis (black discoloration) of parts of the foot, and intermittent claudication (walking difficulty). Typical reasons to use this type of treatment are: advanced age and poor medical condition, multiple previous bypass attempts, lack of veins that could be used to make a new bypass, and lack of distal outflow arteries in the foot to which to connect a bypass.

About Dr. Todd
Conditions affecting arteries of the upper extremities
It is relatively rare for atherosclerosis to affect the upper extremities and cause symptoms. Even diabetic patients who are frequently affected by circulation disturbances of the legs are rarely troubled by occlusion of the upper extremity arteries. The reason for this sparing of the upper extremities from arterial problems is not entirely clear but it is a well documented observation. Traumatic disorders of the arteries of the upper extremities can lead to severe circulation disorders however. I have had occasion to treat two major league baseball pitchers with aneurysms of the upper extremity arteries(1) and a tennis player with dissection (a tear of the inner lining of the artery resulting in occlusion of the vessel) of the major artery in the arm (2). In spite of the relatively infrequent occurrence of arterial circulation disorders of the upper extremities, the diagnosis must be considered in anyone with upper extremity pain of a chronic nature.

University of Maryland Medicine Overview Common Disorders Resources Contact Overview
What is a thoracic disorder? Any disease or condition that involes the chest (thorax) can be considered a thoracic disorder. Most thoracic disorders may also be classified as respiratory or pulmonary disorders. As you can see from the diagram on the right, the main component in the chest is the respiratory system, and most thoracic disorders are related to the respiratory system.
Common Disorders The following list contains some of the most common thoracic disorders:
  • lung cancer (early and late stages) emphysema/ bullous disease mediastinal tumors/mass bronchiectasis esophageal cancer intersititial lung disease (ILD) lymphoma (diagnosis) hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) pulmonary nodule or mass myasthenia gravis barrett's esophagus tracheobronchial malacia hiatal hernia achalasia reflux disease thoracic outlet syndrome
Resources The University of Maryland Medicine is devoted to helping patients with thoracic disorders.

Search AlternativeDr.com The Web for Bookstore Shopping Weekly Specials Drug Interactions ... NetWords Bilberry Bilberry berries and leaves are used for herbal medicines. The berries contain compounds called anthocyanosides, which are known to strengthen blood vessels and improve circulation, and can be useful in treating eye disorders, such as diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and glaucoma, and circulation disorders, such as varicose veins and hemorrhoids. These same compounds also strengthen the retina, the part of the eye that controls night vision and helps the eye adapt to light changes. During World War II, British fighter pilots ate bilberries before going on nightly bombing raids because their night vision improved as a result. Bilberry leaves have been used to control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes, but there is no documented evidence of how successful this treatment is. While bilberries are safe in any amount, bilberry leaves taken in large amounts over a long period of time can become toxic, and limited use is recommended. Dried bilberries have been used for many years to treat diarrhea. The dried berry is high in tannin, which helps control and reduce the intestinal inflammation that can cause diarrhea.

    www.ASHA.org

    Balance Rehabilitation If you are experiencing lightheadedness, a sensation of losing your balance, or a sense of feeling unsteady, you may be one of the millions of Americans who experience dizziness (vertigo). When your balance is impaired, you may feel unsteady, woozy, disoriented, have blurred vision, or have a sensation of movement. It may seem that the room is spinning. You may not be able to walk without staggering, or you may not even be able to get up. Sometimes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, faintness, changes in heart rate and blood pressure, fear, anxiety, or panic accompany the dizziness and balance problems. The organ of balance is located in the inner part of the ear close to the auditory nerve. Many times, but not always, the cause of dizziness is in this part of the ear. Consequently, individuals who are experiencing a balance disorder often have a hearing loss in one or both ears. Tinnitus, which is often described as "ringing in the ears" or "head noise," may also occur. Dizziness can be associated with conditions that occur at all levels of the auditory system. Some of these conditions are swimmer's ear, insertion of foreign objects into the ear canal (external ear); ear infection, pressure changes, vascular problems, perilymph fistula (middle ear); Meniere's disease, ototoxic medicines, circulation disorders, labyrinthitis (inner ear); and, at the central level, tumors (especially of the vestibular portion of the 8

    http://area51.upsu.plym.ac.uk/infoserv/drugs/graphical/alcdang.html
    Alcohol Dangers
    The greatest danger from alcohol is injury due to the drinker being more clumsy and less mentally sharp. In 1990, 15% of fatal road accidents were alcohol related and 32% of all pedestrians killed in road accidents were under the influence of alcohol. Drinkers may also choke on their own vomit whilst unconscious due to alcohol, but this is very uncommon. After a period of alcohol consumption a mixture of factors, mainly withdrawal and dehydration (alcohol dehydrates the body) may cause a hang-over. This is usually means nausea, a headache and sometimes vomiting. However, this may be avoided if the water is drunk (usually at least a pint, if not more if you are a heavy drinker) after a drinking session. Mixing alcohol with other depressant drugs (such as tranquillisers or heroin) increases its effects and dangers and can result in a very dangerous cocktail.
    Long term use
    The recommended alcohol limits published by the government are 21 units per week for men and 14 units per week for women. This figure varies widely from country to country and it does not seem to be based around any international medical decision. Sustained drinking can increase the drinkers chance of damaging his or her health. This can lead to liver disease, ulcers, heart/circulation disorders and in extreme cases permanent brain damage (such as Korsakoff's psychosis, a form of permanent amnesia). Physical and psychological dependency can occur (commmonly known as addiction). Deaths from suicide, accident and cirrhosis of the liver are common among heavy drinkers. Sudden withdrawal from heavy drinking produces sweating, anxiety and trembling and in some cases can cause delirium and convulsions.

    40. FAI - Diabetic Foot Problems And Treatments
    Circulation Persons with diabetes often have circulation disorders (peripheral vasculardisease) that can cause cramping in the calf or buttocks when walking.
    http://www.acfas.org/brdiabfp.html
    Diabetic Foot Problems and Treatments What Are Diabetic Foot Problems? Foot problems are a leading cause of hospitalization for the eight million persons in the United States who have been identified as having diabetes mellitus. Expenditures related to diabetic foot problems total hundreds of millions of dollars annually. It is estimated that 15% of all diabetics will develop a serious foot condition at some time in their lives. Common problems include infection, ulceration, or gangrene that may lead, in severe cases, to amputation of a toe, foot or leg. Most of these problems are preventable through proper care and regular visits to your podiatric surgeon. This physician can provide information on foot inspection and care, proper footwear, and early recognition and treatment of foot conditions. Causes Foot problems in persons with diabetes are usually the result of three primary factors: neuropathy, poor circulation, and decreased resistance to infection. Also, foot deformities and trauma play major roles in causing ulcerations and infections in the presence of neuropathy or poor circulation.
    • Neuropathy (Nerve Damage)
      Your ability to detect sensations or vibration may be diminished. Neuropathy allows injuries to remain unnoticed and untreated for lengthy periods of time. It may cause burning or sharp pains in feet and interfere with your sleep. Ironically, painful neuropathy may occur in combination with a loss of sensation. Neuropathy can also affect the nerves that supply the muscles in your feet and legs. This ‘motor neuropathy’ can cause muscle weakness or loss of tone in the thighs, legs, and feet, and the development of hammertoes, bunions, and other foot deformities.
