Experience in the treatment of 214 patients with diabetic angiopathy complicated by pyonecrotic processes is generalized. Adequate correction of diabetes mellitus, improvement of microcirculation, dietotherapy, and sanitation of the pyonecrotic foci are the main trends in the complex of therapeutic measures. Hemosorption was applied successfully for detoxifixation in 24 patients. Prolonged intraarterial therapy was also conducted with a [symbol: see text] B-1 gent dosing apparatus. Necrosis of the soft tissues and gangrene of the toes or foot were managed by thorough excision of the necrotic tissues and exarticulation or amputation of the toes and metatarsals, and, in exceptional cases, amputation of the limb through the thigh was resorted to. With such complex therapy the number of amputations through the middle and upper third of the thigh was reduced to 18.3%.

A historical perspective of more than one hundred years of influenza surveillance in New York State demonstrates the progression from anecdotes and case counts to next-generation sequencing and electronic database management, greatly improving pandemic preparedness and response. Here, we determined if influenza virologic surveillance at the New York State public health laboratory (NYS PHL) tests sufficient specimen numbers within preferred confidence limits to assess situational awareness and detect novel viruses that pose a pandemic risk. To this end, we analyzed retrospective electronic data on laboratory test results for the influenza seasons 1997-1998 to 2021-2022 according to sample sizes recommended in the Influenza Virologic Surveillance Right Size Roadmap issued by the Association of Public Health Laboratories and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
