- 整形外科和康复治疗
- 血管外科 血管外科
- 神经学 神经学
背景情况:
- 周围神经病变 (PN) 是下肢截肢 (LEA) 后的常见并发症,特别是在患有血管障碍的患者中.
- 在LEA后,PN对移动性和假肢使用的影响需要进一步调查,特别是考虑到潜在的抑郁症等改变因素.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定PN的患病率,在穿肢 (TT) 或穿肢 (TF) 截肢后,患者被处方下肢假肢 (LLP).
- 评估PN对这些患者移动性的影响.
- 调查截肢水平或抑郁是否会改变PN对移动性的影响.
主要方法:

- 采用多重逻辑回归分析来控制混因素和识别效果修饰因素.
主要成果:
- 在假肢处方之前,66%的参与者被诊断为PN.
- PN显著降低了实现基本和高级移动性的可能性 (aOR=0.53,P=.03;aOR=0.43,P=.005分别).
- 在患有抑郁症 (aOR=0.36,P=.04) 的患者中,与没有抑郁症 (aOR=0.53,P=.07) 的患者相比,PN对晚期运动的负面影响更为明显.
结论:
- 周围神经病变在患有血管障碍下肢截肢的患者中非常普遍,并显著损害了运动能力.

Peripheral Artery Disease I: Introduction
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) predominantly results from atherosclerosis, which involves the accumulation of fatty deposits, or plaques, within the walls of arteries. This causes them to narrow and harden, significantly reducing blood flow. PAD predominantly affects the legs, particularly the arteries supplying the thighs and calves. In rare cases, it may involve other arteries, including those in the arms.Etiology of PAD:The principal cause of PAD is atherosclerosis, which results from fatty...
Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...
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...
Peripheral Artery Disease IV: Nursing Management
The nursing management of a patient with peripheral artery disease (PAD) begins with a thorough assessment of the patient’s health history and clinical manifestations.AssessmentHealth History: Evaluate the patient’s history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, family history of cardiovascular issues, and lifestyle factors such as dietary patterns, smoking, and physical activity.Physical Examination:Assess the affected extremity for decreased or absent peripheral pulses, temperature changes,...
Peripheral Artery Disease V: Postoperative Nursing Management
During the postoperative period, it is crucial to focus on maintaining circulation, identifying and managing potential complications, and planning for discharge.Nursing AssessmentVital signs monitoring: Regularly monitor vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature, to detect early signs of complications such as bleeding and infection.Circulation assessment: Monitor pulses, perform Doppler assessments, and check capillary refill, color, temperature, and...
Diabetic Neuropathy
DefinitionDiabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by long-standing diabetes mellitus. It results directly from prolonged high blood sugar levels.PathophysiologyThe pathophysiology of diabetic neuropathy involves both metabolic and vascular disturbances triggered by chronic hyperglycemia.Metabolic injury: Elevated glucose levels activate the polyol pathway within nerve cells, leading to the accumulation of sorbitol and fructose. This increases oxidative stress, disrupts normal nerve...
