Disease relevance of Foot Ulcer

 

High impact information on Foot Ulcer

  • Endocrinologists appeared to achieve better foot-ulcer and infection outcomes for patients with NIDDM, particularly when compared with family practitioners [6].
  • The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of dalteparin on ulcer outcome in patients with diabetes, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, and chronic foot ulcers [7].
  • CONCLUSIONS: DH Pressure Relief Walkers were as effective as total contact casts to reduce foot pressures at ulcer sites and may be an effective practical addition in the treatment of foot ulcers [8].
  • OBJECTIVE--To assess the efficacy and safety of topical human recombinant basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on the healing of diabetic neurotrophic foot ulcers [9].
  • OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy and safety of short-contact administration of topical tretinoin on foot ulcers in patients with diabetes [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Foot Ulcer

 

Biological context of Foot Ulcer

  • In conclusion, topical ketanserin significantly accelerated wound healing in diabetic neurotrophic foot ulcers when applied as part of a comprehensive healing program [15].
  • Entry criteria included: non-reconstructible PAOD as proven by intra-arterial angiography or patient condition, ankle systolic pressure < 50 mmHg, severe rest pain despite analgetic medication, and presence of nonhealing foot ulcers or dry gangrene [16].
 

Gene context of Foot Ulcer

  • 3-OH-acyl-CoA-dehydrogenase, citrate synthase and cytochrome-c-oxidase activities were still comparatively high in patients with gangrenous foot ulcers, indicating some maintenance of the muscle viability even in situations with very low blood flow [17].
  • Even though foot ulcers are more likely to develop in patients with diabetic nephropathy, they are no less likely to heal than are those in diabetic patients with normal renal function [18].
  • In addition, subjects with recurrent foot ulcers had significantly higher plasma nitric oxide compared to subjects with non-recurrent foot ulcers (46.9 +/- 6.3 microm/L versus 30.2 +/- 2.4 microm/L respectively, P < 0.01) [12].
  • Her clinical findings included osteosarcoma, nuclear and subcapsular cataracts, insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, epilepsy, foot ulcers, erythroid macrocytosis, and unusual facial appearance [19].
  • In patients with an infected foot ulcer, encouraging results were obtained with the granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, Filgrastim [20].
