All diagnostic procedures of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the diabetic foot (DF) are limited due to diabetes mellitus and its late complications. The aim of our study is to refine the diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) by a new transcutaneous oximetry (TcPO2) stimulation test (a modified Ratschow test) in patients with diabetic foot.
The purpose of the survey is to assess the knowledge base, role in management, and resources available to diabetes educators regarding foot complication prevention within a variety of healthcare settings.
The primary objective of this study is to examine the feasibility of a Facebook group-based program to support adults with diabetes in their foot self-care and prevention of foot ulcers. The sub-objectives are: 1. To determine the recruitment and retention rate of participants in the study. 2. To assess the acceptability of the Facebook group program among participants. 3. To determine the level and pattern of engagement by the participants within the Facebook group platform. 4. To determine the efficacy of the Facebook group program and how it works to improve diabetic foot care-related outcomes.
Study in adult Diabetes Mellitus patients with diabetic foot ulcers and elevated HbA1c who will receive standard wound treatment in combination with adjuvant therapy WF10 to compare the change of HbA1c levels at baseline and after treatment.
One of the only evidence-based practices for the prevention of diabetic foot ulcer recurrence is once-daily foot temperature monitoring, which is recommended by multiple clinical practice guidelines for high-risk patients, including those with history of foot ulcers. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the use of once-daily foot temperature monitoring to reduce the occurrence and recurrence of diabetic foot ulcers and reduce total health care utilization for diabetic patients with a foot ulcer that has healed in the past 24 months.
The objective of this project is to assess the fidelity and sustainability of in improving provider performance with Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) assessment and ulcer staging with the would ischemia foot infection (WIfI) tool for new patients with lower extremity ulcers due to peripheral artery disease (PAD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) at RHCs in the telemedicine network through a rural provider education program that is aligned with preexisting continuing medical education activities.
The impacts from diabetes are both patient related and healthcare based. Offloading is recognised as the priority treatment for healing neuropathic and neuro-ischaemic plantar foot ulcers. The new PulseFlow DF boot is a device which claims to off load but has little or no evidence on diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) subjects. Thus the primary aim of this study is to observe forefoot plantar pressures in a cross sectional purposively selected sample compared to usual standard of care.
A double blind, randomized controlled clinical trial comparing wound closure rates of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) in subjects receiving active RIC treatment plus standard of care compared to those receiving sham treatment plus standard of care.
This pilot study wants to determine to which extent SPCCT allows obtaining images with improved quality and diagnostic confidence when compared to standard Dual Energy CT (DECT), both with and without contrast agent injection. Depending on the anatomical structures/organs to be visualized during CT examinations, different scanning protocols are performed with quite variable ionizing radiation doses. Therefore, in order to obtain the most extensive and representative results of the improvement in image quality between SPCCT and DECT that will be performed CT imaging on several body regions and structures, including diabetic foot, diabetic calcium coronary scoring, adrenal glands, coronary arteries, lung parenchyma, kidney stones, inner ear, brain and joints, earl/temporal bone, colorectal carcinosis.
