    A case of elephantiasis nostras verrucosa treated successfully by a new type of compressive garment
    (WILEY, 2020-01-01) Mansur, A. Tulin; Ozker, Emre; Demirci, Gulsen Tukenmez
    Elephantiasis nostras verrucosa (ENV) is a clinical manifestation composed of hyperkeratotic, verrucous, and papillomatous lesions and dermal fibrosis, which complicate chronic lymphedema. There is currently no cure for ENV, however, several measures have been used to reduce lymphedema and the resultant pseudoepidermal hyperplasia. Supportive dressings and compression therapy still constitute an important part of the treatment. In this report, we present a 69-year-old male patient with ENV developed due to chronic lymphedema caused by venous insufficiency. After failure of healing with conventional two- and three-layered bandages, and elastic stockings, he was successfully treated by a new type of compression garment. We recommend this user friendly garment for prevention of frictional trauma, contact dermatitis, and secondary infection, which all may complicate compression treatments.

    (BAYCINAR MEDICAL PUBL-BAYCINAR TIBBI YAYINCILIK, 2011-01-01) Celiker, Reyhan; Guven, Zeynep; Aydog, Tolga; Bagis, Selda; Atalay, Ayce; Yagci, Hanife Caglar; Korkmaz, Nurten
    Kinesiotaping technique was designed by Dr.Kenzo Kase in 1970's to counteract the unwanted effects of standard taping techniques such as limitation of joint motions and functional activities. This technique facilitates circulation and motion due to elevation of skin and subcutaneous interstitial tissues, decreases inflammation and pain, increases performance, enhances neuromuscular reeducation, prevents injury and stimulates recovery. Kinesiotaping technigue has a wide range of indications. Today, in accordance with the original application techniques, different applications and indications are being innovated and research is accumulating. The aim of the present review is to summarize the current literature about kinesiotaping applications in musculoskeletal conditions and various fields such as sports rehabilitation, pediatric patients, neurologic disorders, vascular problems, lymphedema and its uses other than musculoskeletal problems.
