[News in the management of diabetic foot].

The management of diabetic foot requires a rapid intervention in front of any type of wound, if possible by a multidisciplinary team. The daily diabetic foot screening is the best prevention. Peripheral neuropathy leads to articular deformations, loss of pain alert and skin dryness.

Modification of Diet in Renal Disease versus Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate in obese patients.

Background: Obesity is a recognized risk factor for both the development and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Accurate estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is thus important in these patients. We tested the performances of two creatinine-based GFR estimates, the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) and the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations, in an obese population.
