Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Definition A diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a chronic, non-healing wound that develops in individuals with diabetes. It typically occurs on pressure-bearing areas such as the heel, metatarsal heads, or hallux, and carries a high risk of infection and amputation.Pathophysiology • The development of DFUs can be explained by four interconnected mechanisms: neuropathy, ischemia, infection, and impaired wound healing. • Neuropathy is the most common factor. Sensory neuropathy reduces pain perception,...

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Background:

Amputation stump complications are frequent in lower limb amputees.
These issues significantly impact patient quality of life.
Common problems include skin defects and vascular insufficiency.

Observation:

A 20-year-old patient experienced a Candida skin infection due to silicone liner use.
A 65-year-old patient presented with progressive lower limb ischemia, leading to a stump wound and claudication.

Findings:

The first patient's fungal infection was successfully treated with topical miconazole/hydrocortisone and improved hygiene.
The second patient's vascular condition required surgical intervention.

Implications:
