Issues with Diabetic Foot Ulceration
نویسنده
چکیده
The majority of foot ulcers appear to result from minor trauma in the presence of sensory neuropathy. This best describes the critical triad most commonly seen in patients with diabetic foot ulcers: peripheral sensory neuropathy, deformity, and trauma. All three of these risk factors are present in 65% of diabetic foot ulcers. Calluses, edema, and peripheral vascular disease have also been identified as etiological factors in the development of diabetic foot ulcers [1].

Challenges Of Caring For Diabetic Foot Ulcers In Resource- Poor Settings
Foot ulceration is a common occurrence in diabetes worldwide. The burden of diabetic foot ulceration is heaviest in the resource-poor parts of the world where the incidence is high but sophisticated and efficient diagnostic, therapeutic and rehabilitative facilities are sparse. Foot ulceration commonly follows minor trauma to the foot with pre-existing neuropathy and ischaemic disease. Superimp...
متن کاملMuscle perfusion scan for prediction of anticipated diabetic foot ulceration
Introduction:We evaluated the performance of muscle perfusion scan (MPS) to assess muscle perfusion reserve (MPR) for prediction of incident diabetic foot ulcerations (DFU). Methods: We recruited 41 diabetic patients without any history of DFU. Five mCi 99mTc-MIBI was injected intravenously during repetitive dorsal and plantar right foot flexions. T...

Diabetes mellitus is characterized by several adverse consequences among which diabetic foot is a major complication. With a life long incidence of 15%, diabetic foot is accountable for more than 50% of non-traumatic lower limb amputations. Regular care, proper footwear and early treatment, but, have proved effective measures in preventing such outcome. The problem and features as infection...
متن کاملPrevalence of risk factors for foot ulceration in a general haemodialysis population
It is well documented that diabetic foot ulceration contributes to increased morbidity and mortality associated with renal replacement therapy. Much less is known about the risk of foot ulceration and lower limb amputation in the non-diabetic dialysis population. The aim of this study was to determine if the prevalence of risks factors for lower limb amputation in a stable haemodialysis populat...
متن کاملCharacteristics and Outcomes of Subjects With Diabetic Foot Ulceration
Foot ulcers are a major cause of morbidity and hospitalization in patients with diabetes. The incidence of diabetic foot ulceration is higher in developing countries because of various sociocultural factors. The majority of amputations in patients with diabetes are preceded by foot ulceration; hence it is important to identify patients at risk for this complication. Studies show that the preval...
متن کاملThe prevention of diabetic foot ulceration: how biomechanical research informs clinical practice
Background Implementation of interprofessional clinical guidelines for the prevention of neuropathic diabetic foot ulceration has demonstrated positive effects regarding ulceration and amputation rates. Current foot care recommendations are primarily based on research regarding the prevention of ulcer recurrence and focused on reducing the magnitude of plantar stress (pressure overload). Yet, f...
