Hospital Mortality After Major Amputation of the Lower Limbs for Critical Ischemia
The prevalence of major amputations of lower limbs increases as the population ages. The aim of the current study was to evaluate hospital death in cases of major amputations for critical limb ischemia in a teaching hospital. Hospital mortality during the peri-operative period was evaluated in 231 major amputations of legs due to critical limb ischemia between January 2005 and 2007. Thirty-six ...
متن کاملOn regeneration after the amputation of abnormal structures. II. Supernumerary induced limbs.
IN the course of his work on the determination of urodele limb asymmetry Harrison (1918) found that limbs formed from grafted limb-disks were often too poorly constructed for reliable diagnosis of their symmetry relations to be possible. He hoped that the amputation of such structures might be followed by the regeneration of limbs sufficiently normal in form for his purposes, and in this he was...
متن کاملCut your losses: self-amputation of injured limbs increases survival
Autotomy, self-induced limb loss, is an extreme trait observed throughout the animal kingdom; lizards drop their tails, crickets release their legs, and crabs drop their claws. These repeated evolutionary origins suggest that autotomy is adaptive. Yet, we do not have a firm understanding of the selective pressures that promote and maintain this extreme trait. Although multiple adaptive hypothes...
متن کاملAmputation of multiple limbs caused by use of inotropics
RATIONALE We present 4 cases of symmetrical peripheral gangrene (SPG) associated with use of inotropic agent to elevate blood pressure. SPG is a relatively rare phenomenon characterized by symmetrical distal ischemic damage that leads to gangrene of 2 or more sites in the absence of large blood vessel obstruction, where vasoconstriction rather than thrombosis is implicated as the underlying pat...
متن کاملPain after amputation
Amputation of a body part, whether as a result of trauma or surgical intervention, is almost always associated with awareness of, and sensations referred to, the missing body part. These sensations were first noted by Ambroise Pare, a French military surgeon in the middle of the 16th century. Mitchel first used the term `phantom' in 1871 from his observations and medical studies of the American...
