13. Espessamento do complexo mÃdio-intimal das carÃtidas em pacientes portadores de diabetes mellitus do tipo 2 e sua relaÃÃo com parÃmetros metabÃlicos, inflamatÃrios e complicaÃÃes vasculares
The vascular involvement in diabetes disease is strongly associated to atherosclerosis, that has itâs pathophysiological support due to endotelial dysfunction, that is a consequence of an initial process of vascular inflammation and can be represented, under the anatomopathological point of view, by the intimal-medial thickness (IMT). This study evaluates t

14. Prevention of foot complications in diabetes mellitus patients: an evidence-based practice approach / "Prevenção de complicações nos pés de pessoas com diabetes mellitus: uma abordagem da prática baseada em evidências"
Diabetes is considered responsible for more than 50% of non-traumatic lower limb amputations. Every year, about 2-3% of patients develop foot ulcers, and this risk increases to 15% throughout their lives. Lower limb ulcers frequently precede amputations, 85% of serious hospitalizations cases were caused by superficial ulcers, accompanied by decreased sensibi

15. Fatores de riscos para ocorrÃncia de Ãlcera nos pÃs em portadores de diabetes mellitus / Risk factors for the occurrence of foot ulcers in patients with diabetes mellitus
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is at the present time one of the most important world problems of health, so much in terms of number of affected people, disability, premature mortality, as of the costs involved in your control and in the treatment of your complications (CONSENT..., 1997). Diabetic foot ulceration is the cause more common of amputations non traumatic

16. A new model for the immobilization of the rat hind limb
An alternative device for the immobilization of the hind limb of the rat was developed to study the effects of chronic disuse on the soleus and tibialis anterior muscles, maintained for 3 weeks in the shortening and the stretching positions, respectively. The proposed device is made of steel mesh and cotton materials, and has some advantages when compared to

17. Ocorrencia de ulceras em pacientes com pe diabeticos : fatores clinicos preditivos
The rnain objective of the present work is to compare clinical evaluation and laboratory tests assessment in patients diagnosed with diabetic foot with and without ulcers and search for clinical or biological markers, which might be involved with the ulcer s occurrence in a group ofpatients at risk. For this we had studied thirty-nine patients diagnosed with

21. Quantitative sweat test in diabetics with neuropathic foot lesions.
The volume of sweat produced by axon reflex stimulation using acetylcholine was measured in one foot each of 35 control subjects and 52 feet of 37 diabetic patients (28 with neuropathic ulceration, 11 with Charcot arthropathy, nine with somatic neuropathy but no foot lesion and four with no evidence of somatic neuropathy). In controls, the volume of sweat wa

22. The extent of small fibre sensory neuropathy in diabetics with plantar foot ulceration.
Thresholds for cutaneous warming and cooling stimuli were measured in 20 diabetics with neuropathic foot ulcers. All patients had a profound disturbance of sensory perception in the ulcerated foot with complete loss of perception of warming; thresholds for vibration and cooling were highly abnormal in all but two patients. Measurements of thermal threshold w

23. Chronic leg ulcers: an underestimated problem in primary health care among elderly patients.
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to establish leg ulcer point prevalence, basal patient characteristics, and level of caretaking. DESIGN--The study was a postal cross sectional survey. The validity was ensured by examining a randomly selected sample of reported patients. Responding health care officials were asked to report all patients with an open wound below

24. Microvascular free myocutaneous flap for treatment of nonhealing ischemic ulcers of the lower extremity. A case report.
In diabetic patients, large foot ulcers that are unresponsive to conventional therapy have traditionally been treated by amputation. Arterial reconstruction alone has failed to stimulate healing of lesions with exposed bone and tendons in weight-bearing areas. We present a case in which complete healing of such an ulcer was achieved with a combination of per
