Diabetic Foot - Physiopathology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Diabetic Foot'Common foot problems in persons with DIABETES MELLITUS, caused by any combination of factors such as DIABETIC NEUROPATHIES; PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASES; and INFECTION. With the loss of sensation and poor circulation, injuries and infections often lead to severe foot ulceration, GANGRENE and AMPUTATION.

Ankle peak systolic velocity: new parameter to predict nonhealing in diabetic foot lesions.
30 Aug 2009 
The objective of this study was to determine whether ankle peak systolic velocity (APSV) can predict nonhealing in diabetic foot lesions. Diabetic patients referred for duplex scanning of the lower extremity arteries were included if they had foot ... Read more...
Diabetic effects on microchambers and macrochambers tissue properties in human heel pads.
17 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: The study attempted to highlight the differences of mechanical properties in microchambers and macrochambers between patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and age-matched healthy volunteers. METHODS: A total of 29 heels in 18 diabetic ... Read more...
29 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: Treatment of diabetic foot wounds remains a major health-care issue, with diabetic foot ulcers representing the most common causal pathway to lower-extremity amputation. Although several investigations have examined topical ... Read more...
