Intermittent compression devices for swelling reduction and thrombosis prophylaxis--a pilot study after total hip replacement. Is the 2 hour daily minimum application sufficient?
These preliminary results suggest that pump systems can prevent deep venous thrombosis after hip surgery even when applied for only short intervals over a short period of time. However, large scale confirmatory studies are needed.
Thus, during chronic fungal asthma in mice, TLR2 is a major contributor to the maintenance of the adaptive Th2-cytokine driven and anti-fungal innate responses.
