Increased microvascular flow and foot sensation with mild continuous external compression
Intermittent pneumatic compression of the calf and foot increases inflow to the popliteal artery and skin. We hypothesize that mild, continuous pneumatic compression of the lower extremities of type 2 diabetic patients increases microvascular blood flow to skin (SBF) and muscle (MBF) and improves sensation in feet. Data were collected on 19 healthy volunteers and 16 type 2 diabetic patients. Ba...
متن کاملIncreased Cardiac Output and Microvascular Blood Flow during Mild Hemoconcentration in the Hamster Window Model
The effect of small hematocrit (Hct) increases on cardiac index (cardiac output / body weight) and oxygen release to the microcirculation was investigated in the awake hamster window chamber model, by means of exchange transfusions of homologous packed red blood cells. Increasing Hct between 8-13% from baseline increased cardiac index by 5 31% from baseline (P < 0.05) and significantly lowered ...

متن کاملEnhancing sensation in diabetic neuropathic foot with mechanical noise.
OBJECTIVE Localized low-level mechanical or electrical noise can significantly enhance tactile sensitivity in healthy young subjects and older adults. This phenomenon is termed stochastic resonance (SR). In this study, we examined the effect of SR on vibratory and tactile sensation in patients with moderate to severe diabetic peripheral neuropathy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 20 su...
متن کاملProtective sensation in the foot in leprosy.
Plantar ulceration is a significant problem in leprosy patients and accounts for a large proportion of hospital admissions. Three methods of sensory testing were employed to see if a high-risk group of people with loss of protective sensation might be selected, so that the serious first ulcer might be prevented . Three groups of patients were studied : 4 1 leprosy patients with ulcers, 4 1 with...
