Foreword

VEINews; a new heading
The VEINews rubric is now incorporated in Phlebolymphology and may take various forms such as comments on a recent international publication (the most common) or on several publications on the same topic. It might also be controversial views of 2 authors on the same publication, or a state-of-the-art article on a timely topic.
In this issue, Bo Eklöf (Lund, Sweden), Jerry G. Ninia (New York, USA), and Paolo Prandoni (Padua, Italy) will comment on the following publications:
