BACKGROUND Although thermal imaging can be a valuable technology in the prevention and management of diabetic foot disease, it is not yet widely used in clinical practice. Technological advancement in infrared imaging increases its application range. The aim was to explore the first steps in the applicability of high-resolution infrared thermal imaging for noninvasive automated detection of sig...
Background Diabetic patients at high risk for foot ulceration are often prescribed with custom-made therapeutic footwear. However, the evidence base to support the use of this footwear for ulcer prevention is still meagre [1]. The lack of offloading efficacy may play a role in this. In-shoe plantar pressure assessment is a valuable tool for evaluating footwear and guiding modifications to optim...
Introduction It has been demonstrated that plasma growth factor (PGF) responsible for proliferation of smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts significantly shortens treatment duration. Aim To determine the role of human growth factor in the healing of ulcers due to ischaemic diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) following previous angioplasty of the blood vessels of the lower leg and foot. Material and...
OBJECTIVE To compare risks of lower-extremity amputation between patients with Charcot arthropathy and those with diabetic foot ulcers. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A retrospective cohort of patients with incident Charcot arthropathy or diabetic foot ulcers in 2003 was followed for 5 years for any major and minor amputations in the lower extremities. RESULTS After a mean follow-up of 37 +/- ...
OBJECTIVE Painless mechanical trauma is believed to induce neuroosteoarthropathy at the neuropathic foot in diabetes (diabetic Charcot-foot). To investigate pressure nociception at the diabetic foot, we measured the pain perception thresholds for deep pressure (DPPPT, using Algometer II®) and cutaneous pressure (CPPPT, using calibrated monofilaments). METHODS In 24 diabetic patients with pain...
AIM To ascertain whether patients with type 2 diabetes are screened for diabetic foot, and to analyze the factors related to patients and centers associated to performance of such screening. MATERIAL AND METHODS A multicenter, epidemiological, cross-sectional study was conducted. The clinical records of 443 patients with type 2 diabetes monitored at Primary Care for at least 12 months were re...
OBJECTIVE Custom-made footwear is the treatment of choice to prevent foot ulcer recurrence in diabetes. This footwear primarily aims to offload plantar regions at high ulcer risk. However, ulcer recurrence rates are high. We assessed the effect of offloading-improved custom-made footwear and the role of footwear adherence on plantar foot ulcer recurrence. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We random...
BACKGROUND Studies on diabetic foot and its complications involving a significant and representative sample of patients in South American countries are scarce. The main objective of this study was to acquire clinical and epidemiological data on a large cohort of diabetic patients from 19 centers from Brazil and focus on factors that could be associated with the risk of ulcer and amputation. M...
Background: Diabetic foot ulcer is one of the most common problems in diabetic patients. Its treatment is very complicated and needs to be carefully monitored, because inappropriate responses to various therapeutic and surgical treatments may occur. Case Presentation: In this study, 10 patients with second and third degree diabetic foot u...
