Foot Disease

Introduction: Diabetic foot disease is an advanced complication of diabetes mellitus, which is associated with severe invalidization and high mortality rate among affected people. Many factors are involved in its pathogenesis but not all of them are fully elucidated. Objectives: Adipose tissue and its hormones – adipokines, are related to diabetic complications and metabolic disorders. Until now, there are limited data on their role in diabetic foot. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to determine the levels of the adipokine omentin-1 in people with and without diabetic foot disease and to look for its potential involvement in this complication. Methods: Eighty patients with type 2 diabetes and mean age of 60.8±10.5 years were included in this study. They were divided into two groups: with (n=36) and without (n=44) diabetic foot disease. Standard antrometric, clinical and laboratory tests were made. Body composition was analyzed by bioelectrical impedance based device. Serum omentin-1 was measured using ELISA method. Results: Levels of omentin-1 were significantly higher among people with diabetic foot disease (700.2±345.1 ng/ml), compared to the other group (560.2±176.7 ng/ml). This difference remained significant even after adjusting for potential confounders. In a regression model omentin-1 proved its predictive value for development of diabetic foot. Conclusion: Adipokines, and particularly omentin-1, might be included in the pathogenesis of diabetic foot disease.

Factors Associated

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder which is characterized by multiple long-term complications that affect almost every system in the body. Foot ulcers are one of the main complications of diabetes mellitus. However, there is limited evidence on the occurrence of foot ulcer and influencing factors in Ethiopia. An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Gondar University Hospital, Ethiopia, to investigate foot ulcer occurrence in diabetic patients. Systematic random sampling was used to select 279 study participants. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression model was fitted to identify factors associated with diabetic foot ulcer. Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was computed to determine the level of significance. Diabetic foot ulcer was found to be 13.6%. Rural residence [AOR = 2.57; 95% CI: 1.42, 5.93], type II diabetes mellitus [AOR = 2.58; 95% CI: 1.22, 6.45], overweight [AOR = 2.12; 95% CI: 1.15, 3.10], obesity [AOR = 2.65; 95% CI: 1.25, 5.83], poor foot self-care practice [AOR = 2.52; 95% CI: 1.21, 6.53], and neuropathy [AOR = 21.76; 95% CI: 8.43, 57.47] were factors associated with diabetic foot ulcer. Diabetic foot ulcer was found to be high. Provision of special emphasis for rural residence, decreasing excessive weight gain, managing neuropathy, and promoting foot self-care practice would decrease diabetic foot ulcer.

Filariasis termasuk penyakit parasit tular vektor. Kabupaten Aceh Jaya merupakan satu dari beberapa kabupaten di Provinsi Aceh sebagai wilayah endemis filariasis. Pelaksanaan program pengendalian filariasis pemberian obat massal pencegahan sudah dilakukan dari tahun 2011. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mendapatkan gambaran pengetahuan kader dan tokoh masyarakat terhadap filariasis di Kabupaten Aceh Jaya. Penelitian ini bersifat cross sectional  yang pengumpulan data dilakukan pada Bulan Juli-Oktober 2017. Data dianalasis secara tematik kualitatif dan diinterpretasikan dalam bentuk narasi. Berdasarkan hasil analisis dari 5 pertanyaan yang diajukan tidak semua informan mampu menjelaskan dengan tepat. Dari 6 informan yang terlibat, semua informan tidak mengetahui istilah filariasis namun mengerti penyakitnya yang disebut barah atau entoet. Empat  informan berpendapat bahwa filariasis adalah penyakit akibat di gigit nyamuk  namun bukan penyakit menular, sedangkan 2 informan lainnya menyatakan filariasis adalah penyakit menular dan dapat ditularkan secara keturunan. Untuk infromasi bahwa filariasis tidak dapat di sembuhkan, 5 informan menyatakan tidak tahu. Namun, untuk informasi apakah filariasis berbahaya, ke 6 informan menyatakan berbahaya karena tidak bisa beraktivitas. Berdasarkan hasil analisis tersebut dapat dikatakan bahwa pengetahuan kader dan tokoh masyarakat kurang baik tentang filariasis. Oleh karena itu, kader dan tokoh masyarakat diharapkan dapat diberikan pelatihan atau penyuluhan tentang filariasis agar kader dan tokoh masyarakat dapat mendukung keberhasilan program filariasis.   Filariasis is a vector-borne parasitic disease. Aceh Jaya District is one of several districts in Aceh Province as a filariasis endemic area. The implementation of the filariasis control program for the provision of preventive mass drugs has been carried out since 2011. The purpose of this study was to obtain an overview of the knowledge of cadres and community leaders about filariasis in Aceh Jaya Regency. This study is a cross sectional study with data collection conducted in July-October 2017. Data analyzed thematic qualitatively and interpreted in a narrative form. Based on the results of the analysis of the 5 questions asked, not all informants were able to comment properly. Of the 6 informants involved, all informants did not know about filariasis but did know about a large and swollen foot disease called barrah or entoet. Four informants argued that filariasis is a disease caused by mosquito bites but not a contagious disease, while 2 other informants stated that filariasis is a contagious disease and can be transmitted by generations. For information that filariasis cannot be cured, 5 informants stated that they did not know. However, for information on whether filariasis is dangerous, the 6 informants stated that it is dangerous because they cannot do activities. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be said that the knowledge of cadres and community leaders is not good about filariasis. Therefore, cadres and community leaders are expected to be given training or counseling on filariasis so that cadres and community leaders can support the success of the filariasis program.

  INTRODUCTION: One of the most important and debilitating complication of diabetes mellitus is foot problem such as ulcers, infections and amputations. However, these complications are preventable by simple intervention such as regular foot care practice. This study aims to assess the foot care practice and its associated factors among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients attending primary health clinics in Kuantan. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at four primary health clinics in Kuantan involving 450 study participants who were selected by using universal sampling method. Level of awareness and practice toward diabetic foot care was assessed using validated self-administered questionnaire. Multiple logistic regressions were performed to identify factors associated with poor foot care practice among the respondents. RESULTS: About 59.6% of respondents had poor foot care practice and 50.9% had poor awareness level. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified that, increasing age (OR  0.97, 95% CI: 0.955-0.993) and good awareness towards foot problem (OR  0.43, 95%CI: 0.289-0.643) were less likely to have poor foot care practice. However, Malay ethnicity (OR 1.81, 95% CI: 1.002-3.271) and obesity (OR  1.9, 95% CI: 1.225-2.976) were associated with poor foot care practice after controlling other variables. CONCLUSION: Majority of the respondents had poor foot care practice and poor awareness. Respondents who are older and have better awareness are less likely to have poor foot care practice. Diabetic patients who are Malays and/or obese are predicted to have poor diabetic foot practice and hence must be prioritized for a sustainable patient education and compliance towards foot care practice at primary care level.
