Comparing Wound Area Reduction of Non-healing DFUs Using MolecuLight i:X Versus Standard of Care...
Non Healing Diabetic Foot UlcerThis is a 12 week, randomized controlled trial. There are 2 arms and 20 patients with non healing diabetic foot ulcer allocated in each arm. One arm receives i:X guided treatment and the other arm receives standard of care treatment. Our primary objective is to compare the wound area reduction in both arms.
Foot Abnormalities in Diabetic CKD Patients
CKDDiabetic FootTo find the correlation between different stages of CKD and type and severity of foot abnormalities in diabetic patients with CKD. To assess factors that may aggravate foot abnormalities in diabetic patients with CKD by measuring serum calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, albumin, uric acid…etc.
White Blood Cell SPECT/CT and Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis
Diabetic Foot OsteomyelitisOsteomyelitis is a risk factor for lower extremity amputation in diabetic people. Antibiotic therapy allows a remission in 60 to 80% of cases. However the optimal duration of antibiotic therapy remains controversy due to the absence of validated marker of osteomyelitis remission. We have previously shown that the negativity of white blood cell SPECT/CT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography) imaging at the end of treatment allowed to predict remission of osteomyelitis at 1 year in all cases. A positive imaging was associated with recurrence in 70% of cases. The aim of our study was to evaluate prospectively the interest of white blood cell SPECT/CT to set the duration of antibiotic therapy.
