Unidades de pie diabético en España: conociendo la realidad mediante el uso de un cuestionario

ObjectiveTo ascertain the number of diabetic foot units (DFUs) in Spain, the specialists working in them, and the population covered by them.Material and methodsThe Spanish Group on the Diabetic Foot (SGDF) prepared and agreed a questionnaire based on the recommendations of the 2011 International Consensus on the Diabetic Foot (ICDF). From October to December 2012, the questionnaire was sent to members of three scientific societies formed by professionals involved in the care of patients with diabetes mellitus. Population coverage of the responding centers and DFUs was estimated using the 2012 population census.ResultsSeventy five questionnaires were received, 64 of them from general hospitals, which accounted for 13% of the general hospitals of the National Health System. It was calculated that they provided coverage to 43% of the population. Thirty four centers answered that they had a DFU. Specialized diabetic foot care was only provided to 25% of the population. The number of different professionals working at diabetic foot units was 6.3 ± 2.7. Classification of DFUs based on their complexity was as follows: 5 basic units (14.7%), 20 intermediate units (58.8%), and 9 excellence units (26.5%).ConclusionsThe number of DFUs reported in this study in Spain is low, and allow for foot care of only one out of every four patients with diabetes. Spanish health system needs to improve diabetic foot care by creating new DFUs and improving the existing ones.     

Evaluación de la realización del cribado del pie diabético en Atención Primaria

AimTo 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 methodsA 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 reviewed. Demographic and healthcare variables and characteristics of the primary care center were recorded.ResultsIn the previous year, 51.2% of patients had been trained on foot self-care, 56.4% had undergone foot inspection, 39.5% had been examined with a monofilament, and palpation of peripheral pulses and measurement of the ankle-brachial index were performed in 45.8 and 10.1% of patients, respectively. Diabetic foot screening (inspection, monofilament testing, and palpation of peripheral pulses) was performed in 37% of study patients. Ulcer risk stratification was done in 12.4% of patients. A significant association was found between diabetic foot screening and presence of foot deformities (P < .001), history of neuropathy (P = .005), and history of peripheral artery disease (P < .05). Screening was also associated to some characteristics of the center, such as reception of information about goal achievement (P < .001) and economic incentives for goal attainment (P < .001).ConclusionsCompliance with diabetic foot screening and ulcer risk stratification in patients with type 2 diabetes in Primary Care was poor.     

Foot care practices of diabetic patients in Saudi Arabia

Diabetic foot is a serious complication that causes lower extremity amputations. The aim of this study was to identify the patient’s awareness about risk factors for diabetic foot disease and to explore the knowledge and foot care practices among diabetic patients in a Saudi population. This cross-sectional study was conducted in King Khalid University Hospital (KKUH), King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), King Fahad Medical City, National Guard Hospital, Military Hospital, and Prince Salman Hospital capital city of Saudi Arabia. Patients were eligible if they had diabetes foot disease, signed the consent form, and completed the questionnaire. We selected 350 patients from different hospitals between November-2011 and April-2012. The majority of patients (68%) were selected from King Saud University hospitals. The mean age of patients was 50.87 ± 15.9 years with a range of 20–90 years. The majority of patients were male (64.3%) and had a family history of hypertension (55.4%), high total cholesterol (58.6%), and other diabetes (58.9%). A family history of smoking, a major risk factor for diabetic foot, was found in 20.3% of cases. Sixty percent of the patients were using oral medications, 27.1% were using insulin therapy, 10% were using both oral and insulin therapies, and 10% were on diet. In our study, 19.4% of participants were illiterate while 80.6% had a high school or university level education. Our findings also revealed that some patients had a lack of knowledge concerning diabetic foot disease and future complications. Patients are unaware of the risk factors for diabetes foot and practice poor foot care. Awareness programs should be mandatory in all hospitals and diabetes clinics to help compensate for the lack of awareness and lack of podiatric educational services. Such programs may decrease the risk of diabetes foot disease.     

The effect of various degrees of foot posture on standing balance in a healthy adult population

Abstract

Purpose: Foot biomechanics plays a significant role in the quality of standing and walking. It has been believed that even minor biomechanical alterations in the foot support surface may influence strategies to maintain body standing balance. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of various degrees of foot posture on static and dynamic standing balance components in a healthy adult population.

Subjects and methods: A convenience sample of 41 healthy adult subjects with a mean age of 24.3?±?6.4 years and a body mass index (BMI) of 29?kg/m² participated in this study. On the basis of foot posture index (FPI), the participants were allocated into either group A or B. Group A included 16 subjects with an FPI range of 6–11 whereas group B included 25 subjects with an FPI range of 0–5. Standing balance components were analyzed using computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) by the Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (mCTSIB) and the limit of stability (LOS).

Results: Spearman’s correlation coefficient showed a significant correlation between the standing dynamic balance and FPI in group B but not in group A. Moreover, it also showed no significant correlation between the standing static balance component and FPI in either group A or B.

Conclusion: This study concluded that higher degrees of FPI might have an effect on standing dynamic balance in healthy subjects. These components may require extra attention during the preventive aspects of rehabilitation.     

Evaluating The Effect of Establishing Protocol for Self- Care Practice of Diabetic Foot Patients Regarding Their Needs,Concerns and Medication Use: A quasi-experimental study

BackgroundThe practice of diabetic self-care plays a significant role in maintaining and preventing diabetic foot complications, but low commitment to self-care practices is common. This study evaluates the effect of establishing protocol for self-care practice of diabetic foot patients according to their needs, concerns, and medication use. A quasi-experimental research (pre-test and post-test) design was used in outpatient clinics at Benha University Hospital, Egypt. The study included 100 adult patients diagnosed with diabetes (types I and II) for at least six months. The findings revealed that 79% suffered from burning or tingling in legs or feet; 74% complained of presence of redness of lower limb, legs or foot pain with activity, and loss of lower extremity sensation; and 80% had changes in skin colour or skin lesions. A comparison between the group pre- and post-intervention (protocol) showed that post-intervention patient foot care knowledge and self-care practice scores were higher. Also, 72% of the participants obtained good knowledge related to foot care post- protocol intervention compared to 37% pre- intervention. Based on the findings, the establishing intervention protocol fosters self-care practice and knowledge regarding needs, concerns, and medication use among diabetic foot patients. Therefore, this protocol can be applied in health practice and research in order to prevent diabetic foot ulcer, and thereby foot amputation.

The association of split hand foot malformation (SHFM) and congenital heart defects

BACKGROUND: Split hand foot malformation (SHFM) (cleft hand, central ray deficiency) is a highly variable malformation that shows genetic heterogeneity with at least five loci mapped to date. SHFM occurs as an isolated finding or in association with other anomalies, including congenital heart defects (CHDs). METHODS: In total 48 SHFM1, 52 SHFM3, 48 SHFM4, 21 SHFM5, and four chromosome 8 patients were evaluated. In addition, we performed a literature review to identify “unmapped” SHFM patients with CHD to evaluate the various etiologies of this combination of findings. The London Dysmorphology Database also served as a resource to identify syndromes with this combination of phenotypic findings. Only patients presenting with both SHFM and CHD were included in the analysis. Classification of CHD among mapped and unmapped SHFM patients was performed utilizing the revised Clark classification. A closer inspection of the types of CHD found in this patient group was performed in order to investigate possible pathogenetic mechanisms. RESULTS: CHDs were found in 10% of SHFM1 patients, 47% of SHFM5 patients, but were not reported in SHFM2, SHFM4 patients, or patients mapped to chromosome 8. Forty‐two syndromic cases and 15 cases of unrecognized syndromes were identified. CONCLUSIONS: The higher frequency of heart defects seen in SHFM1 and SHFM5 of the mapped patient group raises the question as to whether common mechanisms/genetic players are involved. Candidate genes for SHFM1 and SHFM5 include members of the DLX homeobox gene family. Birth Defects Research (Part A), 2008. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

The effect of the boron-based gel on the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers: A prospective,randomized controlled trial

BackgroundChronic ulcers represent impaired healing capacity with high mortality in the elderly or patients with systemic disorders such as diabetes. Boron is an effective agent in wound healing by promoting cell migration and proliferation and reducing inflammation in the wound area. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of a sodium pentaborate-based topical formulation compared to control on the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.MethodsA prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted to apply randomly the topical sodium pentaborate 3% gel or topical conventional remedy (control) by patients diagnosed with diabetic foot ulcers. The 171 eligible participants aged 18–75 years received the allocated medicines twice a day for a month with an allocation ratio of 3:1. Twenty-five days and two months after the end of the trial, participants were reinvestigated for their ulcer condition and any recurrence. Wagner’s classification of diabetic foot ulcers was applied to this purpose (0−5).Results161 participants (57 females, 104 males; mean age: 59.37) completed this study. After the intervention, most participants in the intervention group had a lower ulcer grade than the control group (adjusted mean difference (95% CI): − 0.91 (−1.1 to −0.73); p < 0.001). Moreover, most participants in the intervention group (n = 109 (90.8%)) were treated at a higher rate than the control group (n = 5 (12.2%)) after intervention (adjusted odds ratio (95% CI): 0.008 (0.002–0.029); p < 0.001). There was no case of recurrence in the intervention group while its rate was (n = 2 (40%)) in the control group (p < 0.001).ConclusionThe present study suggests that topical sodium pentaborate gel may help treat and decrease the grade of diabetic foot ulcers and prevent the recurrence of diabetic foot ulcers.     

Muscle-driven finite element simulation of human foot movements

This paper describes a finite element scheme for realistic muscle-driven simulation of human foot movements. The scheme is used to simulate human ankle plantar flexion. A three-dimensional anatomically detailed finite element model of human foot and lower leg is developed and the idea of generating natural foot movement based entirely on the contraction of the plantar flexor muscles is used. The bones, ligaments, articular cartilage, muscles, tendons, as well as the rest soft tissues of human foot and lower leg are included in the model. A realistic three-dimensional continuum constitutive model that describes the biomechanical behaviour of muscles and tendons is used. Both the active and passive properties of muscle tissue are accounted for. The materials for bones and ligaments are considered as homogeneous, isotropic and linearly elastic, whereas the articular cartilage and the rest soft tissues (mainly fat) are defined as hyperelastic materials. The model is used to estimate muscle tissue deformations as well as stresses and strains that develop in the lower leg muscles during plantar flexion of the ankle. Stresses and strains that develop in Achilles tendon during such a movement are also investigated.

目的:探讨细胞、体液免疫应答以及相关的细胞因子在EV71相关手足口病合并肺水肿中的作用。方法:将90例经鉴定为EV71感染患儿分为手足口病合并肺水肿组38例,手足口病无并发症组52例,并设查体健康对照组28例。ELISA法检测90例EV71感染引起的手足口病患儿血清IL-6、IL-10、TNF-α及IFN-γ含量;采用流式细胞仪对血液中CD3+T、CD4+及CD8+T细胞百分比进行检测;采用免疫比浊法对90例EV71感染引起的手足口病患儿血清免疫球蛋白(IgG、IgA及IgM)及补体C3、C4含量进行检测。结果:手足口病合并肺水肿组患儿血清IL-6、IL-10及IFN-γ含量明显升高,同时伴随CD4+及CD8+T细胞百分比下降;手足口病合并肺水肿组,无并发症组及健康对照组患儿血清IgM分别为1.85±0.73,1.46±0.790和0.88±0.39,三组之间差别具有统计学意义(F=14.967,P<0.05)。而IgG与IgA在三组之间无明显变化(X2=5.535,P>0.05;F=1.988,P>0.05);手足口病患儿血清C3及C4含量均明显低于健康对照组(F=46.079;62.794,P<0.05)。结论:由IL-10及IFN-γ的异常释放而引起的广泛的中枢及外周神经系统炎症反应和T淋巴细胞衰竭是引起EV71合并肺水肿病程进展的重要原因;在EV71感染后引发的手足口病进程中存在IgM的大量释放,且伴随补体C3、C4的消耗。     

Quality of Life Improvement Following Reconstruction of Midtarsal Charcot Foot Deformity: A Five Year Follow-Up

BackgroundThere is increasing interest in reconstruction of diabetes-associated Charcot foot arthropathy with the goal of improving quality of life.MethodsTwenty-four patients who completed the Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (SMFA) at baseline and one year following Charcot foot reconstruction were contacted and asked to complete the survey at five years following surgery.ResultsFourteen of the 24 patients completed the SMFA preoperatively, one year following surgery and five years postoperatively. Two patients underwent below knee amputation in the interim. Improvement was noted in all domains measured by the SMFA, with a statistically significant improvement in difficulty with daily activities at five years.ConclusionCorrection of non-plantigrade Charcot foot arthropathy results in clinically meaningful improvement in health-related quality of life at both one and five years postoperatively, including independence with daily activities. The improvement is maintained when reevaluated at five years. This supports the modern paradigm shift towards reconstruction of this deformity. Level of Evidence: III     

Cerebrospinal fluid Th1/Th2 cytokine profiles in children with enterovirus 71‐associated meningoencephalitis

Enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection can cause severe neurological complications including meningoencephalitis (ME) in some patients with hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). However, to date no studies have reported changes in cytokine concentrations and their correlations with clinical variables in patients with ME following EV71 infection. In this study, responses of Th1/Th2 cytokine, including IL‐2, IL‐4, IL‐6, IL‐10, TNF‐α and IFN‐γ, in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with EV71‐related HFMD with ME and patients with febrile convulsions (FC) were analyzed using cytometric bead array technology. It was found that CSF IL‐6 and IFN‐γ concentrations were significantly higher in patients with EV71‐related ME than in those with FC. Additionally, both CSF IL‐6 and IFN‐γ concentrations were correlated with CSF cytology, fever duration and duration of hospital stay. More interestingly, a positive correlation between CSF IL‐6 and IFN‐γ concentrations was observed. Finally, receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that when a cutoff value of 9.40 pg/mL was set for IL‐6, the sensitivity and specificity were 84.5% and 85.5%, respectively, for discriminating EV71‐related ME from FC. In conclusion, IL‐6 and IFN‐γ may be associated with EV71‐induced neuropathology.

Hand foot and mouth disease due to enterovirus 71 in Malaysia

Hand foot and mouth disease is a febrile sickness complex characterized by cutaneous eruption (exanthem) on the palms and soles with simultaneous occurrence of muco-cutanous vesiculo-ulcerative lesions (enanthem) affecting the mouth.The illness is caused by a number of enteroviruses with coxsackievirus A16 and enterovirus 71 as the main causative agents.Human enterovirus 71 (EV71) belongs to the species Human enterovirus A under the genus Enterovirus within the family Picornaviridae.EV71 has been associated with an array of clinical diseases including hand foot and mouth disease (HFMD),aseptic meningitis,encephalitis and poliomyelitis-like acute flaccid paralysis.A large outbreak of HFMD due to highly neurovirulent EV71 emerged in Malaysia in 1997,and caused 41deaths amongst young children.In late 2000,a recurrence of an outbreak of HFMD occurred in Malaysia with S fatalities in peninsular Malaysia.Outbreak of HFMD due to EV71 recurred in 2003 with an unknown number of cases and mortalities.A similar outbreak of HFMD with 2 recorded deaths in young children occurred in peninsular Malaysia in late 2005 and this was followed by a larger outbreak in Sarawak (Malaysian Borneo) with 6 reported fatalities in the early part of 2006.The current on-going outbreak of HFMD started in peninsular Malaysia in epidemiological week 12 of 2010.As with other HFMD outbreaks in Malaysia,both EV71 and CA16 were the main aetiological viruses isolated.In similarity with the HFMD outbreak in 2005,the isolation of CA16 preceded the appearance of EV71.Based on the VP 1 gene nucleotide sequences,4 sub-genogroups of EV71 (C1,C2,B3 and B4) co-circulated and caused the outbreak of hand,foot and mouth disease in peninsular Malaysia in 1997.Two sub-genogroups (C1 and B4) were noted to cause the outbreak in 2000 in both peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak.EV71 of sub-genogroup B5 with smaller contribution from sub-genogroup C1 caused the outbreak in 2003.In the 2005 outbreak,besides the EV71 strains of sub-genogroup C1,EV71 strains belonging to sub-genogroup B5 were isolated but formed a cluster which was distinct from the EV71 strains from the sub-genogroup B5 isolated in 2003.The four EV71 strains isolated from clinical specimens of patients with hand,foot and mouth disease in the Sarawak outbreak in early 2006 also belonged to sub-genogroup B5.Phylogenetic analysis of the VP1 gene suggests that the EV71 strains causing the outbreak in Sarawak could have originated from peninsular Malaysia.Epidemiological and molecular data since 1997 show the recurrence of HFMD due to EV71 in Malaysia every 2 to 4 years.In each of the past outbreaks,more than one sub-genogroup of the virus co-circulate.     

The amputation and survival of patients with diabetic foot based on establishment of prediction model

ObjectiveThe objective of this paper is to study the establishment of predictive models and the amputation and survival of patients with diabetic foot.MethodsA total of 200 inpatients with diabetic foot were selected as the research subject in this study. The amputation and survival status of diabetic foot patients were followed up by telephone. The relevant indicators were screened by cluster analysis. The predictive model was established respectively based on proportional hazard regression analysis, back propagation neural network (BPNN) and BPNN based on genetic algorithm optimization, and the reliability of the three prediction models (PM) was evaluated and compared.ResultsThe risk factors for amputation were severe ulcer disease, glycosylated hemoglobin and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The risk factors for death were cerebrovascular disease, severe ulcer disease and peripheral arterial disease. In case that the outcome was amputation, the PM of BPNN and the PM of BPNN based on genetic algorithm optimization have obviously higher AUC (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve) than the PM of proportional hazard regression analysis, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Among the three PMs, the PM based on BPNN had the highest AUC, sensitivity and specificity (SAS). In case that the outcome was death, the PM of BPNN and the PM of BPNN based on genetic algorithm optimization had almost the same AUC, and were obviously higher than the PM based on proportional hazard regression analysis. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The PM based on BPNN and the BPNN based on genetic algorithm optimization had higher SAS than the PM based on COX regression analysis.ConclusionThe PM of BPNN and BPNN based on genetic algorithm optimization have better prediction effect than the PM based on proportional hazard regression analysis. It can be used for amputation and survival analysis of diabetic foot patients.
