A Case of Euglycemic Diabetic Ketoacidosis in a Patient with Diabetic Foot Syndrome.

Euglycemic Diabetic ketoacidosis (E-DKA) is a life-threatening emergency characterized by ketonemia and metabolic acidosis in presence of relatively normal glycemic values. In recent years it has been associated with some predisposing conditions including sodium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i) therapy, widely used in high-risk cardiovascular patients. We report the case of a 78-year-old diabetic woman treated with dapagliflozin, affected by critical limb threatening ischemia and septic osteoarthritis of interphalangeal joint of first right toe.

Charcot Neuro-Osteoarthropathy With Superimposed Osteomyelitis in a Nondiabetic Patient, as a Consequence of Cancer Chemotherapy: A MR-Monitored Case Report.

Charcot neuro-osteoarthropathy (CNO) is a manifestation of peripheral neuropathy as a chronic complication of diabetes mellitus but, less frequently, can be associated to other conditions such as alcoholism or neurotoxic therapies. An increasingly emerging cause of CNO is the use of oncological drugs which can cause neuropathic damage. The use of these therapies dramatically increased in recent years.

Higher Prevalence of Cancer in Patients with Diabetic Foot Syndrome.

: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with a higher prevalence of many forms of cancer. Diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) is associated with higher risk of lower limb amputation and mortality not all explainable with a cardiovascular profile at greater risk compared with DM patients without DFS. DFS could be associated with an increasing cancer incidence.

In blood we trust: anemia as a negative healing prognostic factor in diabetic foot patients.

Aim: Anemia has been associated with severity of diabetic foot (DF) disease. Our study aimed to evaluate whether the presence of anemia could decrease the healing chances in DF.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all patients admitted in our department in 2021 for DF, dividing them according to presence (Group A) or absence (Group B) of anemia.

Non-reversed bifurcated vein graft improves time to healing in ischemic patients undergoing lower limb distal bypass.

Background: Bifurcated vein grafts have been described in reconstructive microsurgery. No comparative studies have been published in lower limb arterial revascularization. The aim of this study was to compare non-reversed bifurcated vs.
