Introduction. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) are prioritized as a second-line therapy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D), especially in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) or when there is a need to avoid weight gain and hypoglycemia. Randomized
Post-injury muscle regeneration is a multifaceted process requiring the coordination of myogenesis and angiogenesis. Whether this coordination is altered in pathological context has been poorly investigated, whether the original defect stems from the myogenic cell (degenerative myopathy) or the
Despite the application of compression stockings looks simple, it must be remembered that inappropriately worn stockings have the potential to cause certain problems. Unevenly distributed and excess pressure may break the skin, especially in older, malnourished patients and those with thin, brittle
Objectives:
- Principal: Study the distal arterial infusion in a patient population with mixed ulcers under compression leg with little elastic bands
- Secondary: To evaluate the safety of the little compression elastic band in a mixed population of patients with leg ulcers
Methodology :
- Study
We aim to perform a prospective, single-center, investigator-initiated, randomized (1:1), blinded, placebo-controlled study. The patients undergoing elective and complete CABG revascularization performed by the same surgeon, will be randomized in two different groups to receive, in the three days
Complications such as surgical site infections, deep wound infections, prosthetic graft infections, and non-infections problems such as wound dehiscence continue to cause significant morbidity for patients undergoing arterial reconstruction for peripheral arterial disease. Patients undergoing leg
Background:
The prevalence of mild to moderate COPD is ~5%-10% with one-year mortality around 3% while heart failure affects is1%-3% with one year mortality 5-7% in the community. The mortality of COPD and heart failure dramatically increase following hospitalization.
Heart failure and COPD are
Infection: will be defined as a patient with three of six clinical signs of infection (erythema, heat, edema, pain, loss of function, purulence) or leukocytosis. We will use the Infectious Diseases Society of America's Diabetic Foot Infection guidelines to stratify the severity of infection. This
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is commonly associated with diabetes. Clinicians are often reluctant to apply compressive stockings to patients with diabetes and swollen legs due to fear of exacerbating the symptoms of PAD. The study sock is a newly formulated sock that offers mild compression
Clinicians have even learned to group patients into different etiologic categories based on underlying disease such as diabetes mellitus, decubitus ulcer, surgical site infection, venous insufficiency, arterial insufficiency and others. It seems that wounds have been grouped into these categories
