Nonatheromatous Peripheral Vascular Disease of the Lower Extremity in Diabetes Mellitus

BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is caused by more complications. One complication that often occurs is peripheral vascular disease. An early diagnostic to assess peripheral vascular disease is very important; measurement of the ankle-brachial index (ABI) is one of the non-invasive measures to assess the peripheral vascular disease risk in primary care and to identify the effect of lower extremity joint movement exercises on ABI values in Type 2 DM (T2DM) patients.AIM: The aimed to determine the effect of lower extremity on Ankle-Brachial Index Value among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients.METHODS: The method used was a quasi-experimental pre- and post-test group design without a control group. The sample was 35 T2DM patients using a consecutive sampling technique. The interventions given were lower extremity joint movement exercises which were performed actively once a day, with each movement ten repetitions and for 4 weeks of observation.RESULTS: There was a significant difference between pre and post the lower extremity joint movement intervention toward the value of the left limb ABI with mean pre 0.93 and post 1.02 (p = 0.00) and the value of the ABI in the right limb ABI with mean pre 0.92 and post 1.01 (p = 0.00) in patients suffering from DM under 10 years. There was a significant difference between pre and post the lower extremity joint movement intervention toward the value of the left limb ABI with mean pre 0.89 and post 1.98 (p = 0.00) and the value of the ABI in the right limb ABI with mean pre 0.88 and post 0.96 (p = 0.00) in patients suffering from DM over 10 years.CONCLUSION: Joint exercise can improve blood flow throughout the body, so it is important for T2DM patients to do regular joint exercise so that it is beneficial in improving health and preventing disability.

SummaryPlatelets tests, acute phase reactants and serum lipids were measured in patients with diabetes mellitus and patients with peripheral vascular disease. Patients frequently had abnormal platelet tests and significantly increased acute phase reactants and serum lipids, compared to young healthy control subjects. These differences were compared with multidiscriminant analysis. Patients could be separated in part from the control subjects with variables derived from the measurement of acute phase proteins and serum lipids. Platelet test results improved the separation between diabetics and control subjects, but not between patients with peripheral vascular disease and control subjects. Diabetic patients with severe retinopathy frequently had evidence of platelet activation. They also had increased acute phase reactants and serum lipids compared to diabetics with absent or nonproliferative retinopathy. In patients with peripheral vascular disease, only the fibrinogen concentration was related to the degree of vessel damage by arteriography.

The surgical loss of the foot or leg is vigorously resisted by podiatrists who are committed to the conservation of limbs at risk because of peripheral vascular disease. Pathologic changes in blood vessels may, however, progress to a point where no other option is available to the patient. This study assesses amputation of the extremities and investigates tissue alterations that can be identified in diseased blood vessels implicated in these circumstances. Gross pathology and scanning electron microscopy are examined in this, the first of a two-part study.
