This book presents essential information on biomechanical features of the diabetic foot, which could help to minimize the risk of future diabetic foot problems. India has recently been classified as the ‘diabetic capital’ of the world. Type 2 diabetes mellitus has become a serious concern for Indian society, where the prevalence rate is increasing exponentially. Similarly, the comorbidities and foot complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus are worsening day by day. Of all complications, diabetes peripheral neuropathy is the most common, and leads to foot deformities, pain, altered sensation, loss of foot arch, etc. The ultimate fate can even be gangrene and amputation. Accordingly, foot complications of diabetes represent a pressing medical issue. Sharing insights into diabetic foot syndrome, its causative factors, prevention and management, this book offers a valuable resource for medical and paramedical students, researchers, podiatrists, surgeons, and physicians alike.

Over the last decade, it is becoming increasingly clear that diabetes mellitus is a global epidemic. The influence of diabetes is most readily apparent in its manifestation in foot complications across cultures and continents. In this unique collaboration of global specialists, we examine the explosion of foot disease in locations that must quickly grapple with both mobilizing medical expertise and shaping public policy to best prevent and treat these serious complications. In other areas of the world where diabetic foot complications have unfortunately been all too common, diagnostic testing and advanced treatments have been developed in response. The bulk of this book is devoted to examining the newest developments in basic and clinical research on the diabetic foot. It is hoped that as our understanding of the pathophysiologic process expands, the devastating impact of diabetic foot complications can be minimized on a global scale.

This book discusses essential aspects of diabetic foot ulcers, including evidence-based information on its pathogenesis and pathophysiology, as well as the molecular mechanisms and biomechanics of the diabetic foot. It also highlights the need for a multidisciplinary team to be involved in the management of diabetic patients with foot ulcers, and describes available and future tools for evaluating patients who are at risk. Exploring the main current therapies as well as the latest developments, future directions and potential new treatments, such as growth factors, stem cell therapy, alternative medicine and nanotechnology, the book is a valuable resource for clinicians and medical graduates but will also appeal to researchers working in the field.

Since the publication of the third edition of The Foot inDiabetes, there have been important developments in the fieldof diabetic foot care and its scientific basis, including: The introduction of new technologies such as vacuum therapy,new casting techniques, the use of hormones and growth factors inwound healing; Advances in the understanding of the biomechanics of footproblems; Increased problems with multidrug-resistant organisms; The introduction of new international guidelines for themanagement of foot infections; Significant progress in the use of cytokines, metalloproteinaseinhibitors, stem cells and gene therapy in wound healing. This fourth edition of this popular title maintains thestrengths of earlier editions, with a strong emphasis on practicalapplications and management. All the chapters have been fullyrevised and updated, with new chapters introduced to cover thetopics listed above. This book features more internationalcontributors, giving it more global relevance than before, and forthe first time it includes colour plates. With its focus on practically oriented advice, this book isessential reading for all members of the diabetes specialist teamincluding diabetologists, podiatrists, specialist nurses, generalpractitioners, surgeons and clinical researchers.

The Science, Etiology and Mechanobiology of Diabetes and Its Complications presents the most comprehensive synthesis of contemporary global research on diabetes, covering a novel and unique mechanobiological perspective – addressing prevention, management and treatment of tissue, organ and body system damage associated with diabetes and its complications. The book provides a unique approach to communicating diabetes-associated symptoms and opens avenues for development of novel therapeutic and preventive methods. It offers descriptive pathophysiology of diabetes and its complications with great emphasis on mechanobiology. Content coverage also includes management of tissue, organ and body system damage caused by chronic hyperglycemia. Biologists, life scientists, physicians, pharmacists, biomedical engineers, medical physicists, biomathematicians and computer scientists who are interested in the state-of-science and current challenges in the mechanobiology of diabetes should find this book very useful. Likewise, medical researchers in fields such as endocrinology, cardiovascular medicine, oncology, obesity, the immune system, inflammation and wound care and others who wish to be updated about the latest achievements in this exciting arena of research will find that information here. Covers the state-of-knowledge in diabetes research from a mechanobiological perspective, including cell death and (neural, connective, adipose, vascular, renal etc.) tissue damage cascades and healing processes Describes state-of-the-art technology in prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of tissue, organ and body system damage caused by chronic hyperglycemia and diabetes Explores emerging research directions and future technology trends in the field of diabetes prevention and care, including common complications of diabetes (foot ulcers and amputation, peripheral neuropathy, retinal damage, renal damage, vascular and cardiac damage, connective tissue damage etc.) at the early stage of research and development in academia and industry

Diabetes can limit blood supply to the feet resulting in loss of feeling, which means foot injuries do not heal well and may go unnoticed. People with diabetes are 15 times more likely to have a limb amputated due to gangrene. Diabetic foot is an often overlooked complication in general diabetes care. This book is a practical guide to the management of diabetes-related complications of the foot. Beginning with an overview of diabetic foot care, anatomy and biomechanics of the foot, and peripheral neuropathy, the following sections cover a variety of diabetes-related disorders. Each condition is explained in detail covering its pathophysiology, investigations, diagnosis and treatment, including surgery and rehabilitation where appropriate. The final section discusses recent advances and future techniques and technologies in the management of diabetic foot. The text is further enhanced by algorithms and diagrams to assist understanding of potential treatment strategies.

Diabetic foot disease is one of the most invalidating long-term complications of diabetes. Given the dramatically increasing prevalence of types 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus worldwide, the medical community must be prepared for the number of diabetic foot ulcers and lower extremity amputations that will follow this "epidemic" of diabetes. In recent years, the standards of diabetic foot care have improved considerably. However, despite the availability of new treatments, techniques, and advances in the medical and surgical care of people with diabetic foot disease, the incidence of lower extremity amputation in this population is still extremely high. A widening gap exists between our knowledge in the field and the daily experience and outcomes of patients in diabetic foot care centers. The good news is that it is possible to reduce amputation rates by up to 85%. The remaining question is "How do we do it?" This work summarizes the considerable effort made in the field of diabetic foot disease. Special emphasis is given to approaches dealing with the issue of the loss of protective pain sensations and its consequences, in terms of the development of at-risk zones under the foot.
