palpable distal pulses with spider veins on extremities


Explanation:
I think there should be a comma between "pulsos distales palpables" and "filiformes", as I believe they are talking about the "extremities" being "filiformes"

Figuras o vasijas antropomorfas atestiguan un estilo muy distintivo. La cara humana se representa como teniendo forma de un escudo; los ojos y los labios se indican con barras horizontales, y la nariz, modelada y prominente, tiene a veces una gran placa ornamental, de forma rectangular alargada. En algunas de estas figuras cerámicas, la cabeza está cubierta con gorros de distintas formas, y algunas figuras tienen largos collares cruzados sobre el pecho, a manera de dos bandoleras. En ocasiones, ciertas figuras cerámicas, que tal vez podrían ser la representación de la diosa Bachué, tienen en su interior pequeñas figurinas de oro, como ofrenda o rito de fertilidad. En términos generales, el arte alfarero muisca es rígido y simétrico, que contrasta con el de las culturas prehistóricas de las tierras bajas tropicales. El cuerpo humano se representa de forma desproporcionada, la cabeza es demasiado grande, mientras que las extremidades son filiformes y carecen de toda naturalidad de movimiento.

Are those tiny, thread-like veins that look like branching trees also varicose veins? Or are those caused by a more sinister disease? My uncle said alcoholics get them.

You are referring to spider veins. They are smaller than varicose veins and are found even closer to the skin's surface. They can be red or blue. They reside on the legs, but can be found on the face. And yes, spider veins (or spider naevi) can be an outward manifestation of liver disease.

Sorry, I should have graded this answer as "5" as I am quite sure.

disagree  Roxanna Delgado: Sorry Scruff, but like Sandra says, "filiforme" in this case is the type of pulse whcih will be translated as "thready", nothing to do with spider veins. filiform pulse=thready pulse, as per Dorland's Medical Dictionary.

  -> Oh yes! Very good! If only I'd thought of "thready", rather than "thread-like", I would have avoided my initial contribution
