Podiatric Skin and Nail Involvement and Biomechanical Pathology in Renal Transplant Recipients: Assessment of the Foot as a Contributing Factor to Their Health.

Although several studies show the prevalence of podiatric conditions in people with end-stage renal disease or renal replacement therapy with hemodialysis, there is little scientific literature on this when subjects are undergoing kidney transplantation. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of podiatric skin and nail pathology in renal transplant recipients. A descriptive, observational, prevalence study was conducted at the Nephrology Department of the University Hospital of A Coruña.

Foot health and quality of life in women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Chemotherapy is one of the most widely used therapies for breast cancer, triggering important repercussions on people's quality of life. However, little research has been undertaken about podiatric adverse effects. This study aimed was to determine the prevalence of podiatric pathology developed in people with breast cancer who receive chemotherapy.

Foot Health in People with Cancer Undergoing Chemotherapy: A Scoping Review.

Background: Chemotherapy has relevant implications for cancer patients' physical, social, and psychological health. Foot health has gained relevance in recent years due to its importance to independence and wellbeing, especially in chronic conditions. This study aims to explore the scope of the literature regarding foot health problems in people with cancer undergoing chemotherapy.

Wellbeing and Complementary Therapies in Breast Cancer Peripheral Neuropathy Care: A Scoping Review Focused on Foot Health.

Background: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is a multidimensional health problem. Up to now, little evidence has been found concerning its impact on quality of life and foot health. Evaluation tools and prevention and treatment strategies must be reported.

Concordance between Pressure Platform and Pedigraph.

Objectives: Determine the concordance between two methods of obtaining the plantar footprint (pedigraph and pressure platform).

Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, observational study of prevalence was carried out in the social center of Cariño (Coruña), Spain ( 65 participants). Older people without amputations or the presence of dysmetria were included.

Frequency of lower extremity artery disease in type 2 diabetic patients using pulse oximetry and the ankle-brachial index.

To determine the of undiagnosed lower extremity artery disease using the pulse oximetry in a type 2 diabetic population sample. Observational, cross-sectional, descriptive study that included 594 type 2 diabetic patients, with no previous history of lower extremity artery disease. Medical history, physical examination, determination of the ankle-brachial index (portable Doppler) and measurement of oxygen saturation in upper and lower extremities (pulse oximeter) were performed.

Strategies and actions to enable meaningful family connections in nursing homes during the COVID-19: A Scoping Review.

Objectives: To better understand the impact of visitor restrictions on nursing home residents and their families as well as strategies and actions that were conducted in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: A scoping review was carried out in October 2020. Several electronic databases were used: Cochrane Plus, Scopus, Web of Sciences and PubMed.

Discordance of the Evaluation of the Plantar Footprint in Kidney Transplant.

Background: The measures used for the diagnosis of biomechanical pathologic disorders are variable. The aim of this study was to determine the concordance between the Clarke angle and the Chippaux-Smirak and Staheli indices in evaluation of the footprints of kidney transplant patients.

Methods: An observational prevalence study was performed in kidney transplant patients in the University Hospital Complex A Coruña from 1981 through 2014.

Dermatological diseases in seamen's lower extremity: a prevalence study.

Background: Little is known about the impact of occupational seafaring on lower limb conditions. The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of dermatological diseases affecting the feet and lower extremities of seafarers, as well as the possible impact of working conditions on the development of the pathologies analysed.

Materials And Methods: A prevalence study was performed through self-completed questionnaires at the "Instituto Social de la Marina" (ISM) centres at A Coruña, Ribeira, Noya and Cádiz (Spain).

Structural, Dermal and Ungual Characteristics of the Foot in Patients with Type II Diabetes.

Diabetes is a chronic and metabolic disease, considered as an important public health problem. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of podiatric pathology in type II diabetic patients. An observational descriptive study of prevalence in the endocrinology service of Complexo Hospitalario Universitario A Coruña (CHUAC) (A Coruña-Spain) was carried out ( = 153).

Concordance between the Different Cardiovascular Risk Scores in People with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriasis Arthritis.

Aim: To determine the cardiovascular risk and the concordance between the different scores in people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

Methods: Observational descriptive study of prevalence. Performed in the Rheumatology Service and the Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics Unit of the University Hospital Complex of A Coruña (Spain).
