Abstract
Objectives: Behavioral treatment for nocturia includes wearing compression stockings. However, a reading of the cited literature for evidence shows that there is not enough research data to support this recommendation, and it is controversial. The present study aimed to investigate and supplement evidence on the effects of wearing compression stockings during the daytime in patients with nocturia. Methods: This was a single-arm prospective study to investigate the effects of compression stockings on nocturia for four weeks. Patients were asked to record a frequency-volume chart and complete various questionnaires at baseline and after four weeks, and also provide feedback on treatment satisfaction. The primary endpoint was a change in night-time frequency in the frequency-volume chart from the baseline to the end of treatment. Results: Thirty-four patients (19 men and 15 women; age: 72.3 ± 12.6 years) were included. Two patients dropped out because of pain associated with wearing compression stockings and one due to a refusal to wear compression stockings every day. Therefore 31 patients were analyzed. In the frequency-volume chart, night-time and 24-hour frequencies significantly decreased by 0.5 and 1.1 episodes, respectively (P = 0.004 and P = 0.035, respectively). The hours of undisturbed sleep significantly increased by 0.8 h (P = 0.013). No significant differences were observed in nocturnal or 24-h urine volumes, the number of urgency or urinary incontinence episodes, the mean or maximum voided volume, the nocturnal polyuria index, or the first night-time voided volume. The total overactive bladder symptom score significantly decreased (P = 0.006). Significant reductions were also observed in all overactive bladder symptom score subscores, except for the daytime frequency score. Conclusion: The present results suggest the effectiveness of wearing compression stockings during the day was satisfactory in most patients with nocturia, and the treatment was safely continued in patients who experienced no pain when wearing the stockings. Based on the results of this study, we believe that it is worth considering as a treatment for nocturia.

Abstract
Isolated calf deep venous thrombosis (ICDVT) includes thrombosis located at the far end of the popliteal vein, such as the anterior tibial vein, posterior tibial vein, fibular vein, and intramuscular vein of the soleus and gastrocnemius. This type of thrombosis has the highest incidence, accounting for approximately half of all deep vein thrombosis (DVT) cases; however, there is no consistent recommendation for ICDVT treatment across countries, and there is also no optimal management strategy. In recent years, increasing evidence has shown that ICDVT can develop into proximal DVT, even causing pulmonary embolism (PE). Therefore, some experts suggest anticoagulant therapy for this type of DVT, while others hold an opposing attitude. Therefore, the treatment strategy for this type of DVT has become a hot and difficult research topic. The purpose of this review is to summarize the characteristics of ICDVT and the effects of different treatment strategies by analyzing recent and important classical works in the literature in an attempt to provide recommendations for the treatment of this most common type of DVT in orthopaedic clinics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION After deep vein thrombosis, up to 50% of patients develop post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). PTS is a chronic condition that reduces quality of life (QOL). Cornerstones of PTS treatment include the use of elastic compression stockings but this treatment is usually incompletely effective and is burdensome. Venoactive drugs have been reported to be effective to treat chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). However, the level of evidence supporting their use in CVI in general and in PTS in particular is low. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The MUFFIN-PTS trial is an academic, publically funded, multicentre randomised placebo-controlled trial assessing the efficacy of micronised purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF, Venixxa), a venoactive drug, to treat PTS. Eighty-six patients with PTS (Villalta score (VS) ≥5) and experiencing at least two of the following PTS manifestations among daily leg heaviness, cramps, pain or oedema will be randomised to receive 1000 mg of oral MPFF or a similar appearing placebo for 6 months, in addition to their usual PTS treatment. Total study follow-up will be 9 months, with visits at inclusion/baseline, 3, 6 and 9 months. Primary outcome is the proportion of patients with improvement in VS in each group, where improvement is defined as a decrease of at least 30% in VS or a VS <5 in the PTS-affected leg. Main secondary outcomes include QOL and patient satisfaction. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Primary ethics approval was received from Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux (CIUSSS) West-Central Montreal Research Ethics Board. Results of the study will be disseminated via peer-reviewed publications and presentations at scientific conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ClinicalTrials.gov Registry (NCT03833024); Pre-results.
