Background: Heel ulcers in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are hard to heal. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the difference in amputation-free survival (AFS) between open and endovascular revascularization in patients with DM, PAD, and heel ulcers. Methods: Retrospective comparative study of results of open versus endovascular surgery in patients with DM, PAD, and heel ulcer presented at the multidisciplinary diabetes foot clinic between 1983 and 2013. Results: Patients with heel ulcers were treated with endovascular intervention (n = 97) and open vascular surgery (n = 30). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the AFS was higher in patients undergoing open vascular surgery compared to the endovascular group ( P = .009). Multivariate analysis showed that open vascular surgery versus endovascular therapy (hazard ratio 2.1, 95% confidence interval 1.1-3.9; P = .025) was an independent factor associated with higher AFS. The proportion of patients undergoing endovascular therapy in the former (1983-2000) time period was 47% compared to 89% in the latter (2001-2013) time period ( P < .001). Conclusion: The AFS was higher after open than endovascular surgery among patients with DM and PAD with heel ulcer. These results suggest that open vascular surgery should be offered more often as opposed to current practice.

Coagulation And Fibrinolysis

SummaryFifteen haemostasis parameters have been measured in 48 normal persons, 36 diabetics without and 44 with complications and 27 with peripheral arterial disease. Since the patients groups are older than normals, part of the differences are due to age. However, the differences are significant between normals and patients. They become highly significant for the diabetics with complications and nephropathy (Table 7). In diabetics without complications factor VIII functions, fibrinogen and thrombin time are related to age whereas there is a negative correlation for the fibrinolytic activity and antithrombin III. The diabetic complications shade off the correlations, which subsist only for VIIIR: CoF, VIIIR: Ag, ATIII and lysis before stasis. With Hbalc as dependent variable VIIIR:CoF is the only significant predictor variable in diabetics (Table 9).

Aims: Increased level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is associated with an increased prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This study aimed to assess the relationship between the anatomical distribution of symptomatic PAD lesions in patients with type 2 diabetes and HbA1c levels at the time of PAD diagnosis. Patients and methods: A retrospective study was conducted at King Abdullah University Hospital during the period August 2011 to December 2015. Consecutive patients with type 2 diabetes presented with symptomatic PAD confirmed by computed tomography-angiography (CTA) were included in this study. CTA images were reviewed. Relevant information including demographic data, PAD symptoms, comorbidities, HbA1c level, lipid profile, C-reactive protein and the mean platelets volume were retrieved from medical records. Results: A total of 332 patients with type 2 diabetes (255 males and 77 females) were included in this study. The mean HbA1c at the time of PAD diagnosis was 8.68% (±2.06%). The prevalence of hemodynamic relevant atherosclerotic lesions of the superficial femoral artery, popliteal artery, leg vessels, femoro-popliteal, and crural segments was significantly higher in patients with HbA1c >7.5% compared with patients with HbA1c ⩽7.5%. Conclusion: The anatomical distribution of symptomatic PAD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus differed significantly according to HbA1c level at the time of PAD diagnosis.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) merupakan penyakit yang tidak dapat disembuhkan, namun dapat dikendalikan. Prevalensi penderita DM di Indonesia 6.9% dan di Jawa Barat sekitar 29,4% dari jumlah penduduknya. Sebagai mother of desease, penyakit DM memiliki komplikasi yang serius seperti retinopati diabetik, neuropati, amputasi, penyakit jantung, gagal jantung, stroke dan peripheral arterial disease. Kondisi tersebut menunjukkan perlunya keseriusan dalam penanganan penyakit DM. Diperlukan dukungan dari kader (sebagai bagian dari support group) bagi peserta prolanis DM. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui implementasi metoda support group dalam meningkatkan persepsi pasien tentang perawatan DM di Kota Bandung. Penelitian ini termasuk jenis penelitian kuantitatif dengan menggunakan rancangan quasi experiment dengan pretest and post test non equivalent control group. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan persepsi pasien prolanis sebesar 3,08 dan peningkatannya dinyatakan sangat bermakna (p<0,01).  Edukasi yang dilakukan kader (support group) berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan persepsi pasien DM. Metode support group dengan memberdayakan kader dalam memberikan edukasi sangat bermanfaat dan dapat dijadikan kebijakan di pelayanan kesehatan masyarakat.

Objectives: High-quality research is fundamental to the advancement of surgical practice. Currently, there is no quantitative assessment of the research output of vascular surgeons in Australia and New Zealand. By conducting this bibliometric analysis, we aim to provide an objective representation of the trends in vascular surgery and guide future research. Methods: A list of all current vascular surgeons in Australia and New Zealand was compiled from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons ‘Find a Surgeon’ website tool and correlated with the Australia and New Zealand Society for Vascular Surgery database. A Scopus search of each surgeon’s author profile over the last 20 years was conducted. Results: In total, 2120 articles were published by 208 Australasian vascular surgeons between 1998 and July 2018, with an overall increase in publications over time. Audits or case series were the most published type of study and only 8% of the publications were of high-level evidence. The most popular topics were thoracoabdominal aortic pathologies (24%), followed by peripheral arterial disease (15%). Chronological analysis illustrates an increasing volume of peripheral arterial disease research over time and there is a clear trend towards more endovascular and hybrid surgery publications. The top 10 (5%) highest publishing authors by h-index account for 41% of all publications and 49% of all citations and are also responsible for producing significantly more high-level evidence research. Conclusion: Australasian vascular surgeons have made a significant contribution to medical research. However, the majority of these articles are of low-level evidence. In this time, there has been an increasing number of publications on endovascular and hybrid surgery in keeping with the trend in clinical practice. These areas, as well as research regarding peripheral arterial disease, show potential for high-evidence research in the future.
