We present 210 patients with hand osteomyelitis in 246 rays over 12 years, including detailed analysis of 29 patients in this cohort with digital artery calcification evident on plain X-ray. Overall 71 patients had diabetes mellitus and/or end-stage renal failure, including 28 of 29 patients with calcification. In the calcification group, 17 patients had ipsilateral arteriovenous fistulae, five had steal syndrome and 15 had digital ulceration or skin necrosis. Compared with 181 controls, patients with calcification had more affected bones, polymicrobial infections, surgical procedures, phalanges and digits amputated and had higher mortality at 1 year (12 of 29) and 5 years (20 of 29), as a result of comorbidities. Absence of calcification in 43 patients with diabetes and/or end-stage renal failure was associated with better outcomes on all the above parameters. Early amputation to maximize disease-free survival may be appropriate for patients with hand osteomyelitis and arterial calcification. Level of evidence: IV

This study examined the clinical characteristics including stress-related factors of eating disorders in a sample of 312 diabetic patients with end-stage renal failure. The prevalence rate of bulimia nervosa was 5.1% (16 of 312 patients). The 16 patients with bulimia nervosa were 8 men and 8 women over 58 years old. Looking at the subjects by cause of end-stage renal failure, those with diabetes mellitus exhibited significantly higher prevalence rate of bulimia nervosa than two nondiabetic groups (diabetes 10%; nephritis 1.6%; others 1.9%). As for the association of bulimia nervosa and stress-related factors, end-stage renal failure patients with diabetes who exhibited bulimia nervosa showed significantly higher scores on a measure of alexithymia. These results suggest that, when liaison psychiatrists see diabetic patients with end-stage renal failure who exhibit bulimia nervosa, they should pay close attention to stress-related symptoms including alexithymia.
