    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; diabetes mellitus; ankle blood pressure; toe blood pressure; screening; risk markers; mediasclerosis; macroangiopathy; fibrinolysis; inflammation; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Diabetology; Diabetologi;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the present thesis was to assess the occurrence of early lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) in patients with diabetes and to assess novel potential risk markers for development or worsening of LEAD in the same patients. In parallel different measures of impaired peripheral circulation were evaluated. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Methodological aspects of toe blood pressure measurements for evaluation of arterial insuffiency in patients with diabetes

    Författare :Hans-Ivar Påhlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Lower limb ischemia; diabetes; foot ulcerations; toe blood pressure; ankle blood pressure; biphasic curve pattern; cuff width; laser Doppler; automatic pressure measurements;

    Sammanfattning : Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a growing health problem in the aging population of the western world with prevalence figures around 6-7%, which are increasing fast. Treatment of this disease is complex and expensive for society. One of the most feared DM complications is foot ulcerations. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Markers of tissue ischaemia in lower limb arterial insufficiency : an experimental and clinical study

    Författare :Göran Lundberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Limb ischaemia; diagnosis; metabolism; skeletal muscle; subcutaneous adipose tissue; microdialysis; muscle biopsy; lactate; perfusion; lower body positive pressure; human; rat; ;

    Sammanfattning : Lower limb ischaemic rest pain, ulcers or gangrene are late consequences of advanced peripheral arterial disease, one of the facets of systemic atherosclerosis. The majority of patients will meet current criteria for critical limb ischaemia (CLI). Life expectancy in these patients is severely limited mainly due to coexisting coronary heart disease. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Diabetic skin microangiopathy : studies on pathogenesis and treatment

    Författare :Majid Kalani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Diabetes mellitus; chronic foot ulcers; skin microcirculation; peripheral arterial occlusive disease; blood coagulation; fibrinolysis; fibrin gel structure; low molecular weight heparin; dalteparin.;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Most of late diabetic complications have their basis in a disturbed microcirculation, i.e. diabetic microangiopathy. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Amputation for vascular disease. Prognostic factors for healing, long-term outcome and costs

    Författare :Magnus Eneroth; Lund Ortopedi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; costs; deep foot infections; supplementary nutrition; prognostic factors; outcome; diabetes mellitus; Amputation; vascular disease; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Sammanfattning : General characteristics and outcome was evaluated in 177 consecutive patients who underwent a major amputation in a defined population. Smoking and diabetes lowered the mean amputation age. Healing failure at six months was seen in 24% of transtibial and in 11% of transfemoral amputees. LÄS MER
