Filter by:The investigators' primary objective is to assess the predictive power of PET/CT scanning in the evolution of infectious osteoarthritis of the diabetic diabetic after antibiotic therapy prescribed by national and international recommendations.
Objectives: Preventing diabetic foot problems (DFP) and associated consequences, such as amputation, is a critical in rural regions. The objective is to present on the association of non-invasive DFP assessment tools and physiological indicators for the early detection of DFP among rural cases of diabetes in Taiwan.
This is a multicenter, prospective, parallel, double-blinded, validation study of up to 12 weeks duration to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of EPIFLO for the treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcer. The primary objectives of this study are: 1) to evaluate the effectiveness of EPIFLO in combination with standard wound therapy on wound healing as compared to standard wound therapy alone; and 2) Screening for potential safety issues. Diabetic subjects with a Diabetic Foot Ulcer present for a minimum of 30 days will be enrolled. All subjects enrolled in the study will receive a standard wound therapy regimen consisting of, wound cleansing, moist wound care, off-loading and as appropriate, aggressive debridement. Subjects will be randomized to either the Treatment arm or the Control arm. Subjects will be assessed weekly for signs of wound healing during the 12-week Treatment Period, once two weeks after wound closure and once at the end of 12-week durability Period.
The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical and economic effectiveness of PriMatrix and Standard of Care in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) in subjects with controlled diabetes mellitus and without significantly compromised arterial circulation.
Type of Study: Pilot Study monocenter Study Duration: 18 months Subject Participation Duration: The patients are enrolled for the time of the blood withdrawl. Follow up visit will be after 12 months from the enrollement. Objectives: The project will have two major objectives: A)To validate the prognostic value of vascular progenitor cells, identified by flow cytometric analysis of antigenic phenotype, in a cohort of 109 patients with type-2 diabetes complicated by ischemic foot ulcers. Events are: cardiovascular mortality, major amputation, post-angioplasty restenosis , and development of new atherosclerotic plaques in treated limb B)To determine the mechanisms responsible for vascular progenitor cell dysfunction in the perspective of new therapies for the cure of the diabetic foot.
A randomised controlled pilot study on the feasibility of introducing a skin temperature device (Temp Touch) in secondary prevention of foot ulcers in people with diabetes who have had a foot ulcer in Norway.
This study focuses on a new drug delivery system (Direct Antibiotic Delivery) to treat soft tissue infections. In this study, cefazolin is delivered directly to the target tissues using subcutaneous injection of antibiotic solution and then dispersed using high-frequency external ultrasound. Using this system, a much higher concentration of antibiotic can be achieved than through traditional treatment methods. Unlike traditional delivery methods, Direct Antibiotic Delivery does not rely on blood supply and is beneficial for subjects with Diabetes or subjects who have received radiation therapy and blood supply is limited.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate risk of cancer incidence and mortality associated with the use of REGRANEX (becaplermin) in patients with diabetes who are members of a U.S. Veterans Health Administration.
A total of 90 patients suffering from end stage-IV Fontaine /CLI and diabetic foot with an ulcerated limb in whom all previous therapeutic strategies failed (e.g. surgical revascularization) will be selected and undergo local transplantation of ABMSCs. The efficacy/safety of this therapy will be assessed by using several endpoints such as (a) prevention of amputation, (b) wound healing and (c) degree of angiogenesis. In order to assess the limb ischemia and hypoxia the several tests and measurements will be performed pre- and post transplantation at a variety of time intervals. The measurements include: TP-toe pressure measurements (by Periflux 5000 Laser Doppler and Oxymetry system), SPP-skin perfusion pressure, ABI-ankle brachial index, LDP-laser Doppler baseline and heat perfusion assessment, TcpO2 without and with O2 provocation inhalation test. In addition, a battery of biochemical and hematological tests of peripheral venous blood sample will be performed.The quality form "EQ-50" will be completed. 8.1 Primary objective: To evaluate an efficacy-safety profile of autologous bone marrow stem cells (ABMSCs) transplantated into chronically and critically ischemic limb (CLI) and into diabetic foot in stage IV Fontaine, Rutherfod 4-6 classification. 8.2 Secondary objectives: 8.2.1 To assess effect of ABMSCs on tissue perfusion of ischemic limb after transplantation by transcutaneous oximetry and the laser Doppler flowmetry using Periflux 5000 system under normal and provocation test conditions. In addition, wound healing of ulcers will be evaluated using a planimetry method from photographs of affected skin taken pre- and post-transplantation. 8.2.2 Relationship between CD 34 progenitor counts separated on gradient-density separation centrifuge from Harvest Technologies and overall effectiveness and safety to treat ischemic limb. 8.3 Priorities: Beside assessment of effectiveness and safety of ABMSCs transplantation ultimate emphasis will be put on avoiding limb amputation. This has significant socioeconomic impact. Therefore this project belongs to the priority programs of clinical research in cardiovascular diseases.
To evaluate the effectiveness of PriMatrix in the treatment of DFUs in subjects without significantly compromised arterial circulation.
