OBJECTIVE
To investigate serum ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) levels, and paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity in patients with diabetic foot.
METHODS
Thirty patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), 30 patients with diabetic foot (29 and 27 of these patients had
BACKGROUND
This paper describes the surgical technique of a modified Pirogoff's amputation performed by the senior author and reports the results of this operation in a single surgeon case series for patients with diabetic foot infections.
METHODS
Six patients with diabetic foot infections were
BACKGROUND
Although hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat diabetic foot lesions has been approved for insurance reimbursement in Taiwan, its clinical application has not yet been well accepted. This study evaluated multiple healing predictive factors in patients with diabetic foot infections to
A prospective randomized trial compared performing a Syme ankle disarticulation using a one-stage versus Wagner's two-stage technique. Surgery was performed at two University Medical Centers where patients underwent amputation surgery for gangrene or nonsalvageable diabetic foot infection. Those
BACKGROUND
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) treatment accelerates the healing process of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) by increasing tissue oxygenation in hypoxic tissues. Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is produced as a result of serum albumin flowing through ischemic tissues. We aimed to investigate the
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the incidence and risk factors of lower extremity amputation among inpatients with diabetic foot.
METHODS
For this retrospective study, a total of 685 inpatients with diabetic foot (Wagner grade 1-5) admitted at a multi-disciplinary Diabetic Foot Care Center, West China
Objective: To explore the risk factors for lower extremity amputation in patients with diabetic foot. Methods: The clinical data of 1 771 patients with diabetic foot at the Air Force General Hospital of PLA from November 2001 to April 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided
Reduced creatinine clearance is related to an increased risk for diabetic foot ulcer development. Wound healing has been reported to be worse in diabetic patients with impaired kidney functions than general diabetic population. This study aimed to investigate the effect of creatinine clearance on
To aid clinicians in selecting the appropriate approach for treating patients with diabetic foot infections, we investigated whether any baseline clinical findings predicted an unfavourable clinical outcome. Using data from a large, prospective treatment trial of diabetic foot infections (SIDESTEP),
BACKGROUND
We conducted this study to identify factors that may prolong the length of the hospital stay (LHS) in patients with diabetic foot (DF) in a single-institution setting.
METHODS
In this single-center retrospective study, we evaluated a total of 164 patients with DF, and conducted an
Present cross-sectional clinical study was aimed at the evaluation the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in Type 2-diabetics suffering from different clinical manifestations of diabetic foot lesions due to peripheral vascular disease and/or diabetic neuropathy. 1025 non-insulin-dependent
Diabetic foot ulcers present across the spectrum of nonhealing wounds, be it acute or many months duration. There is developing literature highlighting that despite this group having high caloric intake, they often lack the micronutrients essential for wound healing. This study reports a
Diabetic foot is challenging progressive disease which requires multisystemic control. Neuropathy, arteriopathy, and cellular responses should treated collaboratively. Despite all medical advances, diabetic foot can highly resulted with amputation and also re-amputation can be required because of
BACKGROUND
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most common cause of amputations in Malaysia. This study aimed to identify the predictive factors for major lower limb amputation among patients with type 2 DM (T2DM) who were admitted to a hospital, in order to reduce its likelihood.
METHODS
This
Our objective was to create a practical standardized database of clinically relevant variables in the care of patients with diabetes and foot ulcers. Numerical clinical variables such as age, baseline laboratory values, and wound area were extracted from the wound electronic medical record (WEMR). A
