James and co-workers also examined the helper T cell function or intestinal lamina proprial lymphocytes enriched for T-cells, and found that T cells from the peripheral blood or the lamina propria of Crohn's disease patients were similar to normal peripheral blood T cells in their ability to provide help for IgM synthesis.

They found that patency is not influenced by the extension of the stents across the filter segment, but is rather related to the severity of post-thrombotic disease.[ 11 ] A comparison was also performed between the limbs stented for recanalized occlusions with and without IVC filters, which showed no significant difference in cumulative primary and secondary patency rates indicating that the presence of filters did not affect the outcome.[ 11 ] Venous thrombectomy with temporary groin AVFs to augment the inflow into the iliocaval segments has been previously described as an effective treatment for iliofemoral venous thrombosis and it reduces the risk of future venous insufficiency and post-thrombotic syndrome.[ 18 19 ] The data from our study suggest that AVFs did not improve the likelihood of clinical success.

en-noun

iliotibial band (plural iliotibial bands)

Both conditions are a type of repetitive strain injury from friction at either end of an important structure known as the iliotibial band. Because the common denominator in what causes injury is friction, both conditions are collectively referred to as iliotibial band friction syndrome. Runner's knee is the more common form of this syndrome.

2004, Stuart C. Apfel, MD, David C Saidoff, PT, The Healthy Body Handbook: A Total Guide to the Prevention and Treatment of Sports Injuries, Demos Medical Publishing, page 139

With the increased interest in jogging and long-distance bicycling, iliotibial band bursitis is being encountered more frequently in clinical practice. The iliotibial band bursa lies between the iliotibial band and the lateral condyle of the femur. The iliotibial band is an extension of the fascia lata, which inserts at the lateral condyle of the tibia. The iliotibial band can rub back and forth over the lateral epicondyle of the femur and irritate the iliotibial bursa beneath […]
