Thermography in diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis.

The possibility that subclinical increased heat of the limb may be an early and reliable sign in the diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis is being investigated using thermography. Of the 35 cases studied 17 have had early deep venous thrombosis confirmed on phlebography. Of these, 16 cases have been previously diagnosed using thermography.

Skin blood flow changes following intradermal bradykinin injections measured by laser Doppler flowmetry: comparison with weal and flare.

Intradermal injections of normal saline and different concentrations of bradykinin were made into the forearms of healthy volunteers. Cutaneous blood flow was recorded just outside and over the centre of the weals by laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF), and flare area and weal volume were measured. There were concentration-related changes in the mean LDF output adjacent to the weal, flare area and weal volume. LDF recordings performed over the centre of the weals, however, failed to show any dose-response relationship. When similar concentrations of bradykinin were injected intradermally and the skin response measured by the above parameters, there was less variation in the mean LDF output adjacent to the weal than flare or weal measurements. The non-invasive technique of LDF is a useful, objective and sensitive technique of quantifying the skin blood flow changes induced by intradermal bradykinin and provides an alternative method of quantifying skin response to intradermal bradykinin to measurement of flare or weal sizes.
