    In order to develop further the criterias of the ultrasonographic diagnosis of the lip- and lymphedema, also in the demarcation of the phlebedema, we examined 100 patients in our practice. In addition to the specific “sonomorphology”of the lip- and lymphedema we found a different reaction of the subcutaneous tissue of the lower leg in painful and not painful lipedemas examined with compression-sonography. A more precise demarcation of the cutis from the subcutis was made possible with a new 13 MHz linear probe. The spontaneous painful lipedema shows a thickened subcutis with increased echogenity and is only compressible at 10 to 20 percent, while the not painful lipedema is compressible at about 50 percent. In patients with lymphedema the typical echoless gaps showed no colour coding and were also not compressible. Especially because of the low time needed, the non-invasive method and the lack of radiation the ultrasonographic description, measurement and compression of the subcutaneous tissue of the lower leg is useful for diagnosis, the objective control of therapeutic strategies and the estimation of the clinical symptoms – especially in cases of lipedema – and also for the etiology – especially in cases of lymphedema. The sonography is superior to the clinical examination and should be the second step in diagnosis of all nonsystemic forms of edemas of the legs.

[S1 guideline on intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC)]. Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift fur Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete, 69(8), 662–673. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00105-018-4219-1

    Under the direction of the German Society of Phlebology (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Phlebologie) and in cooperation with other specialist associations, the S1 guideline on intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) was adopted in January 2018. It replaces the previous guideline from March 2005. The aim of the guideline is to optimize the indication and therapeutic use of IPC in vascular diseases and edema. An extensive literature search of MEDLINE, existing guidelines, and work relevant to the topic was performed. In view of the often methodologically weak study quality with often small numbers of cases and heterogeneous treatment protocols, recommendations can often only be derived from the available data using good clinical practice/expert consensus. Intermittent pneumatic compression is used for thromboembolism prophylaxis, decongestive therapy for edema, and to positively influence arterial and venous circulation to improve clinical symptoms and accelerate ulcer healing in both the outpatient and inpatient care setting. The therapy regimens and devices used depend on the indication and target location. They can be used as outpatient and inpatient devices as well as at home for long-term indications. A target indication is thrombosis prophylaxis. IPC should be used in severe chronic venous insufficiency (stages C4b to C6), in extremity lymphedema as an add-on therapy and in peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) with stable intermittent claudication or critical ischemia. IPC can be used in post-traumatic edema, therapy-resistant venous edema, lipedema and hemiplegia with sensory deficits and edema. Absolute and relative contraindications to IPC must be taken into account and risks considered and avoided as far as possible. Adverse events are extremely rare if IPC is used correctly. If the indication and application are correct-also as an add-on therapy-it is a safe and effective treatment method, especially for the treatment of the described vascular diseases and edema as well as thrombosis prophylaxis.

    2 Abstract 2.1 Participating professional associations and organisations These guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of varicose veins were prepared under the guidance of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Phlebologie e. V. (DGP) in cooperation with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gefäßchirurgie und Gefäßmedizin—Gesellschaft für operative, endovaskuläre und präventive Gefäßmedizin e. V. (DGG), the Deutschen Gesellschaft für Angiologie, Gesellschaft für Gefäßmedizin e. V. (DGA), the Deutsche Dermatologischen Gesellschaft (DDG), the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Dermatochirurgie e. V. (DGDC), the Berufsverband der Phlebologen e. V. (BVP), and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft der niedergelassenen Gefäßchirurgen Deutschlands e. V. (ANG). This updated 2018/2019 version is based on the guidelines agreed and drafted by the same associations in 2004 and 2009, and it was adopted by the Boards of the participating professional associations on 30 April 2019. 2.2 Development stage of the guidelines These guidelines are based on a structured consensus process, drawing on published data to create consensus-based guidelines at development stage S2k. 2.3 Delegates of the professional associations See: https://www.awmf.org/uploads/tx_szleitlinien/037-018l_S2k_Varikose_Diagnostik-Therapie_2019-07.pdf. 2.4 Selected literature The recommendations are based on the same publications used in previous versions and a systematic literature review carried out on 21 July 2016 in the German Institute for Vascular Public Health Research (DIGG). The review included randomised studies, meta-analyses, and controlled studies. The literature search was carried out in the Medline and PubMed databases with the following search fields in German and/or English: sclerotherapy, endovenous thermal ablation, mechanochemical ablation, cyanoacrylate glue, surgical procedures (stripping), and diagnosis, prognosis, and postoperative care of varicose veins. A manual search was carried out for later publications up to December 2018.
