Abstract:
Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) pose a significant burden on patients, health care systems, and national economies. Nutritional health is an important determinant of wound healing. Vitamin C and D levels and additional biochemical markers, C-reactive protein, and albumin in a group of patients with VLUs, were compared with a control group without VLUs. No significant difference in either nutrient marker was found with the presence, size, or duration of VLUs. Obesity was significantly more common in the VLU group, as noted in other studies. Additional controlled studies should be performed with measures of VLU size and duration to assess long-term outcomes with nutritional therapy.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...
