Traditional bone setter's gangrene. (2/271)

Traditional bone setter's gangrene (TBSG) is the term we use to describe the sequelae sometimes seen after treatment with native fracture splints. Twenty five consecutive complications were recorded in 25 patients aged between 5-50 years with a median age of 10 years. The major complication of the native fracture splint treatment was distal limb gangrene necessitating proximal amputations in 15 cases.  (+info)

Thigh isosulfan blue injection in the treatment of postoperative lymphatic complications. (3/271)

Postoperative lymphatic complications after infrainguinal revascularization are troublesome and potentially serious complications. Vital dye injection into the web spaces of the foot has been recommended as a simple and reliable method to identify lymphatic channel disruption before groin exploration. Such distal injections, however, are not always successful. We describe a modified technique using a proximal thigh injection with isosulfan blue, which is faster and more useful than the distal web space method.  (+info)

Efficacy of dorsal pedal artery bypass in limb salvage for ischemic heel ulcers. (4/271)

PURPOSE: Although pedal artery bypass has been established as an effective and durable limb salvage procedure, the utility of these bypass grafts in limb salvage, specifically for the difficult problem of heel ulceration, remains undefined. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 432 pedal bypass grafts placed for indications of ischemic gangrene or ulceration isolated to either the forefoot (n = 336) or heel (n = 96). Lesion-healing rates and life-table analysis of survival, patency, and limb salvage were compared for forefoot versus heel lesions. Preoperative angiograms were reviewed to evaluate the influence of an intact pedal arch on heel lesion healing. RESULTS: Complete healing rates for forefoot and heel lesions were similar (90.5% vs 86.5%, P =.26), with comparable rates of major lower extremity amputation (9.8% vs 9.3%, P =.87). Time to complete healing in the heel lesion group ranged from 13 to 716 days, with a mean of 139 days. Preoperative angiography demonstrated an intact pedal arch in 48.8% of the patients with heel lesions. Healing and graft patency rates in these patients with heel lesions were independent of the presence of an intact arch, with healing rates of 90.2% and 83.7% (P =.38) and 2-year patency rates of 73.4% and 67.0% in complete and incomplete pedal arches, respectively. Comparison of 5-year primary and secondary patency rates between the forefoot and heel lesion groups were essentially identical, with primary rates of 56.9% versus 62.1% (P =.57) and secondary rates of 67.2% versus 60.3% (P =.50), respectively. CONCLUSION: Bypass grafts to the dorsalis pedis artery provide substantial perfusion to the posterior foot such that the resulting limb salvage and healing rates for revascularized heel lesions is excellent and comparable with those observed for ischemic forefoot pathology.  (+info)

Nontraumatic lower extremity amputations in the Medicare end-stage renal disease population. (5/271)

BACKGROUND: Nontraumatic lower limb amputation is a serious complication of both diabetic neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease. Many people with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) suffer from advanced progression of these diseases. This study presents descriptive information on the rate of lower limb amputation among people with ESRD who are covered by the Medicare program. METHODS: Using hospital bill data for the years 1991 through 1994 from the Health Care Financing Administration's ESRD program management and medical information system (PMMIS), amputations were based on ICD9 coding. These hospitalizations were then linked back to the PMMIS enrollment database for calculation of rates. RESULTS: The rate of lower limb amputation increased during the four-year period from 4.8 per 100 person years in 1991 to 6.2 in 1994. Among persons whose renal failure was attributed to diabetic nephropathy, the rates in 1991 and 1994 were 11.8 and 13.8, respectively. The rate among diabetic persons with ESRD was 10 times as great as among the diabetic population at large. Two thirds died within two years following the first amputation. CONCLUSIONS: The ESRD population is at an extremely high risk of lower limb amputation. Coordinated programs to screen for high-risk feet and to provide regular foot care for those at high risk combined with guidelines for treatment and referral of ulceration are needed.  (+info)

Necrotizing soft tissue infections. (6/271)

Necrotizing soft tissue infections are a group of highly lethal infections that typically occur after trauma or surgery. Many individual infectious entities have been described, but they all have similar pathophysiologies, clinical features, and treatment approaches. The essentials of successful treatment include early diagnosis, aggressive surgical debridement, antibiotics, and supportive intensive treatment unit care. The two commonest pitfalls in management are failure of early diagnosis and inadequate surgical debridement. These life-threatening infections are often mistaken for cellulitis or innocent wound infections, and this is responsible for diagnostic delay. Tissue gas is not a universal finding in necrotizing soft tissue infections. This misconception also contributes to diagnostic errors. Incision and drainage is an inappropriate surgical strategy for necrotizing soft tissue infections; excisional debridement is needed. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be useful, but it is not as important as aggressive surgical therapy. Despite advances in antibiotic therapy and intensive treatment unit medicine, the mortality of necrotizing soft tissue infections is still high. This article emphasizes common treatment principles for all of these infections, and reviews some of the more important individual necrotizing soft tissue infectious entities.  (+info)

Epidemiology of the incidence of oro-facial noma: a study of cases in Dakar, Senegal, 1981-1993. (7/271)

Oro-facial noma is an oral gangrene occurring in early childhood in extremely poor areas. As many as 70-90% of those with noma die, and to date, there is no satisfactory treatment to fight this disease. Within the context of the World Health Organization international program against noma, a 13-year retrospective study based on clinical records was carried out in Dakar, Senegal in an attempt to understand the epidemiology of noma. Between 1981 and 1993, 199 cases of noma were identified, among them; 36.7% were acute cases and 63.3% showed sequelae. Chronic sequelae of noma were seen in patients 2-41 years of age, but the acute phase of noma was found only in young children (77.7% in those 1-4 years of age, maximum age = 9 years, mean age +/- SD age = 3.4 +/- 1.9 years). A total of 73.1% of the cases with acute disease were reported in the Dakar, Diourbel and Kaolack regions during the dry season (57.0% of the cases). The lesions of progressive noma were localized mainly on the upper lip (42.4%) and the cheek (31.1%). A total of 96.9% of the patients with acute diseases were had poor general health with serious associated diseases; only 20.0% had a good vital prognosis. The development of epidemiologic surveillance programs for noma should be a public health priority in Senegal.  (+info)

Adjunctive techniques to improve patency of distal prosthetic bypass grafts: polytetrafluoroethylene with remote arteriovenous fistulae versus vein cuffs. (8/271)

PURPOSE: The long-term patency for infrapopliteal bypass grafting with prosthetic material is less than optimal. Our experience demonstrates a 40% patency at 2 years for these grafts. Several adjuvant techniques have been developed to improve patency rates, two of which are a remote distal arteriovenous fistula and the creation of a distal vein cuff. This study summarizes our experience with these two techniques. METHODS: Between 1987 and 1998, 107 bypass graftings were performed to the below-knee popliteal or tibial vessels with the use of polytetrafluoroethylene. One group (48 bypass grafts) had polytetrafluoroethylene with adjuvant distal arteriovenous fistula (DAVF), and a second group (59 bypass grafts) was reconstructed with a distal vein cuff (DVC). The type of bypass grafting that was performed was based on surgeon experience and preference. Indications and demographics were similar in the two groups. All patients underwent the operation for limb-threatening ischemia, including gangrene (DAVF, 23%; DVC, 9%), ulceration (DAVF, 27%; DVC, 51%), and rest pain (DAVF, 50%; DVC, 40%). RESULTS: The primary patency rate was 48% and 38% at 3 years for DAVF and DVC, respectively. Secondary patency was 48% and 47% at 3 years, with limb salvage rates of 76% and 92% for DAVF and DVC, respectively (P <.05). Attempted thrombectomy without continuation of patency was undertaken in two patients with a failed DAVF. Attempts at restoration after thrombosis were made in eight patients with failed DVCs. Five patients underwent thrombectomy, of which four procedures were successful. Three patients had thrombolytic therapy, and two of these remained patent. CONCLUSION: Adjuvant techniques, including DAVF and DVC, produce acceptable long-term patency and limb salvage rates in bypass grafts performed to the below-knee popliteal and tibial vessels. This study suggests that DVCs may offer improved limb salvage rates and a greater opportunity for revision when bypass graft failure occurs.  (+info)

Look, its easy to view the above as a bit of political satire, but its actually the way new usages enter a language. Gangrene as a political tag is a perfect extension of the concept of a diseased limb rotting from lack of oxygen to an economy rotting from lack of energy. Gangrene also starts with the word gang, which accurately identifies the leadership of the Gangrene movement as gangsters.. I first tried to move away from the concept of green entirely, when a half year ago I started a Facebook Group called The Golden Economy. But trying to change the language of a debate is an uphill battle so instead of trying to challenge everything associated with the green political movement Ive decided to take on the slightly more modest task of distinguishing between life-affirming green pursuits and life-strangling gangrene policies.. So lets start contrasting Green versus Gangrene.. ...
Anticentromere antibodies have been associated with peripheral vascular occlusive disease, most frequently accompanied by sclerodactyly in the context of a connective tissue disorder. We report a case of digital gangrene with no other clinical associations except positive anticentromere antibodies. Our patient, a 53-year-old Caucasian woman, non-smoker, presented with progressive pain and blackening of the distal right third finger over the preceding five weeks. No sclerodactyly was evident. She was anticentromere antibody positive at greater than 100 U/mL. Angiography revealed diffuse distal vasculopathy in both upper extremities. Other investigations were unremarkable. It is rare for anticentromere antibody-associated digital necrosis to develop without concomitant sclerodactyly. However, this patients case illustrates the need to consider an autoimmune contribution to the pathogenesis of digital ischemia even in the absence of a recognizable connective tissue disease.
TY - JOUR. T1 - Surgical management of ischemic penile gangrene in diabetics with end stage atherosclerosis. AU - Weiner, David M.. AU - Lowe, Franklin C.. PY - 1996/3. Y1 - 1996/3. N2 - Purpose: We determined whether early surgical intervention for ischemic penile gangrene in diabetics can be successful and limit morbidity. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review was done of 7 diabetic patients with ischemic penile gangrene. Results: Three patients underwent early distal penectomy without complications. All 4 patients initially observed suffered liquefaction and progression from dry to wet gangrene, and 2 underwent surgery (subtotal penectomy in 1 and distal penectomy in 1 who required reoperations for wound complications). Conclusions: With appropriate patient selection, surgical intervention can be successful and provide a better quality of life for those without terminal disease. Delaying intervention will usually require more extensive surgery and increase the risk of wound ...

Gangrene is a localised area of tissue death and is normally the result of a critically insufficient blood supply to part of the body. It can be classified as dry or wet. Dry gangrene does not cause sepsis or cause the patient to die. However, it can result in local tissue death with the tissue eventually being sloughed off. Wet gangrene is usually infected by bacteria, and if left untreated, the patient usually develops sepsis and dies within a few hours or days.
The angiosome concept of perfusion delineates specific vascular territories that are supplied by specific arteries. The concept may help vascular interventionalists treat tissue defects caused by critical limb ischemia (CLI) by enabling the interventionalists to target arteries according to the location of foot ulcers.. The angiosome concept of perfusion was first described in 1987 by Taylor and Palmer.1 Treatment based on the angiosome concept can help wounds to heal and may preserve limbs.2,3 In a retrospective analysis, Alexandrescu et al gathered specific Wagner 1-4 diabetic foot ulcers in Rutherford category 5-6 ischemic limbs. They applied the angiosome concept in primary below-the-knee angioplasty for limb salvage. They reported complete healing of foot ulcers with or without minor limb amputation in 98 of 124 limbs,3 which is similar to preliminary results observed by others.2. ...

Despite a lack of solid evidence in applying the angiosome concept (AC) in current chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) treatment, several encouraging results for improved wound healing and less for limb preservation were reported in various consistency studies. Direct revascularization (DR) following the foot angiosomes distribution (whenever feasible) may afford better clinical results compared to angiosome indifferent, or indirect revascularization (IR), however without clear benefit on survival and for major adverse limb events (MALE). Inside this interrogation, the notable influence of the remnant collaterals, the foot arches, the wound characteristics, and the type of revascularization (bypass versus endovascular) still remain ardent topics. Current evidence suggests that applying DR in daily vascular practice requires practitioners to be committed to every individual hemodynamic variable in a thorough macro- and micro-vascular evaluation of the ischemic foot. It becomes clearer nowadays that

One of the biggest problems with cheap reptiles is that people get them who cant afford to pay for what the reptiles need, including veterinary care. As more reptiles are being dumped on people willing to take them in, we are now seeing rescuers who are overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of animals coming in and by the expense of providing for them. The sad fact is that it is always the animals who suffer, despite the intentions of the humans.

Objective: Necrotizing fasciitis of the perinea, referred to as Fourniers gangrene, is a necrotizing infection of the perinea. To the best of our knowledge, there is no report on the Fourniers gangrene following an ant bite and this is a rare case report of this type.Case Presentation: In this rare case report we describe a 20-year-old man who developed Fourniers gangrene following an ant bite which resulted in his death. He sustained numerous ant bites in the perinea. Subsequently, he suffered from itching of the area and had scratched the area frequently leading to dermal ulcers and laceration, pain, and swelling of the scrotal area followed by fever and diminished consciousness. Finally, he presented to the emergency room (ER) after 72 hours of ant bites with a shock. Physical examination revealed extensive necrosis of scrotum. The primary treatments including antibiotic therapy, normal saline solution, and dopamine were not effective.Conclusion: Even a simple nonpoisonous insect bite can lead to
Gas gangrene is a condition where anaerobic bacteria release toxins that cause tissue death, and if not treated can be fatal. Gas gangrene is typically an infection of muscle tissue and a characteristic sign of infection is the presence of blisters that bubble with gas near infected areas. There are fewer than 3,000 cases in the United States annually. In this article you will find out more about gas gangrene symptoms and whether there have been historical outbreaks of gas gangrene.

Fournier gangrene is a serious infectious disease with high mortality and morbidity rates characterized by rapidly progressive skin necrosis. Immediate debridement of infected necrotic tissue and broad spectrum antibiotic therapy are the main principles of the treatment. Size of the debrided area, advanced age, colorectal predisposition and renal insufficiency are the factors affecting the mortality. In this case report, we present a rare case of Fournier gangrene caused by migration of foreign body from rectum to bladder. ...
Gas gangrene is caused by exotoxin-producing Clostridium species (most often C. perfringens, and C. novyi,[5] but less commonly C. septicum[6] or C. ramnosum),[7] which are mostly found in soil, but also found as normal gut flora, and other anaerobes (e.g., Bacteroides and anaerobic streptococci). The exotoxin is commonly found in C. perfringens type A strain and is known as alpha toxin. This alpha toxin is a lethal toxin and also known as phospholipase C (lecithinase). It increases vascular permeability and produces necrotizing activity. These environmental bacteria may enter the muscle through a wound and go on to proliferate in necrotic tissue and secrete powerful toxins. These toxins destroy nearby tissue, generating gas at the same time.. Other organisms may occasionally cause gas gangrene (for example, Klebsiella pneumoniae in the context of diabetes).[8]. A gas composition of 5.9% hydrogen, 3.4% carbon dioxide, 74.5% nitrogen, and 16.1% oxygen was reported in one clinical ...

This case of severe Fourniers gangrene challenged us with two main problems: a) the existence of a particularly large perineal soft tissue defect and b) a voluminous chronic penile shaft lymphedema. Options for repairing perineal defects include fasciocutaneous flaps for small surface defects and skin grafts for large defects [5-7]. Flaps are preferred because their use prevents graft maceration and scar retraction. Skin grafting is a simple and well-adapted technique for extended skin defect [5, 8]; however, in perineal area partial graft take is the rule, and hypertrophic or retractile scar can occur by secondary healing, leading to functional limitations.. Using vacuum-assisted therapy in a humid and irregular area effectively cleans and prepares the wound [9, 10] for skin grafting. The negative pressure aspirates liquids from the wound, thereby reducing humidity and bacterial load. The mechanical suction also promotes granulation tissue formation by stimulating angiogenesis and ...

A 52-year-old man presented to the emergency room with a 4-day history of scrotal pain, edema, and the rapid development of black, foul-smelling, moist lesions on his scrotum and penis. Blood values revealed an increased white blood cell count and an increased creatine phosphokinase consistent with necrosis of muscle tissue. A urologist saw the patient and quickly made the diagnosis of Fourniers gangrene (FG). An uncommon but life-threatening urologic emergency, FG is an infectious necrotizing fasciitis that involves the perineum, genitalia, and perineal areas.
Clostridial gas gangrene is a highly lethal necrotizing soft tissue infection of skeletal muscle caused by toxin- and gas-producing Clostridium species. The synonym clostridial myonecrosis better describes both the causative agent and the target tissue.

a large and credibly referenced compendium of traditional remedies assembled by a pair of doctors.

For clostridial myositis and myonecrosis (gas gangrene) or spreading clostridial cellulitis with systemic toxicity (or a presumptive diagnosis of either) the preferred treatment is a combination of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2), surgery, and antibiotics.. Clostridial myositis and myonecrosis or gas gangrene is an acute, rapidly progressive, non-pyogenic, invasive clostridial infection of the muscles, characterized by profound toxemia, extensive edema, massive death of tissue, and a variable degree of gas production.. Gas gangrene is either an endogenous infection, caused by contamination from a clostridial focus in the body, or an exogenous infection, mostly in patients with compound and/or complicated fractures with extensive soft tissue injuries after street accidents.. The infection is caused by anaerobic, spore‑forming, Gram‑ positive encapsulated bacilli of the genus clostridium, discovered by William H. Welch in 1891. More than 150 species of clostridium have been recognized but the most ...
I am a 54 year old male with well-managed diabetes and my health is generally quite good. I spent two days in bed feeling very tired and very dry. I kept drinking fluids and sleeping but after two days went to hospital (Elliot Lake, Ontario) Dec. 23/12. The physician indicated my temperature was up and it was clear I was fighting an infection of some type however after much palpating, etc. could not find the source. He recommended I return home and continue with fluids and sleep but to return immediately if new symptom occurs. The next morning I noted swelling and some pain in my scrotum, however no colour changes. I returned to the hospital on Dec. 24 and was prescribed penicillin and an OTC pain killer. The next morning I noted significantly increased swelling (larger than a grapefruit), colour had changed to black and blue with blood oozing out and blood in urine. I reasoned that I had only had two servings of penicillin by this point and it needed more time. Things didnt improve on the 26th ...
Gas gangrene occurs as a result of infection by Clostridium species of bacteria that under anaerobic (low oxygen) conditions, produce toxins that cause the tissue death and associated symptoms. Gas gangrene generally occurs at the site of trauma or a recent surgical wound. The onset of gas gangrene is sudden and dramatic. Inflammation begins at the site of infection as pale to brownish-red extremely painful tissue swelling. Gas may be felt in the tissue as a crackly sensation when the swollen area is pressed with the fingers. The margins of the infected area expand so rapidly that changes are visible over a few minutes of time. The involved tissue is completely destroyed. Clostridia species of bacteria produce many different toxins, four of which (alpha, beta, epsilon, iota) are all fatal. In addition they cause tissue death (necrosis), destruction of blood (hemolysis), local decrease in circulation (vasoconstriction), and leaking on the blood vessels (increased vascular permeability). These ...
Following a fall, an 85-year-old woman underwent a Thompsons left hemi-arthroplasty for a fractured neck of femur. She was noted to be demented, in atrial fibrillation and had a medical history of a mild cerebrovascular accident from which she had made a good recovery. Her haematinics and renal function were normal. Seven days post surgery she was noted to be incontinent of urine with abdominal distension. A residual urine volume of 850 ml was recorded. The following day a residual volume of 1 litre was noted and an indwelling catheter was left in place with 4 hourly intermittent drainage. Five days later the urine was faeculent with watery and offensive stool per rectum. Her white cell count was 36 × 109/l and her renal function was normal. Abdominal X-ray confirmed air in the bladder but further investigation proved unrewarding. Because of her distress and the faeculent discharge per urethra it was decided to proceed to laparotomy and colostomy.. At operation the pelvis was walled off by ...

Mastitis is an infectious disease of sheep. There are two recognized types of mastitis, but the gangrenous type (bluebag) is more severe. With bluebag, gangrene develops rapidly in the udder; ewes become sick, depressed, and feverish. As the infection progresses, the udder, or more commonly, half the udder, becomes hard, red, and swollen. The pain often causes the ewe to limp as she tries to avoid hitting the udder with the rear leg. Affected ewes usually do not let lambs nurse. Within a day or two, the udder generally becomes very hard, gangrene develops, and the udder turns blue. Death occurs in about 25 percent of cases. In ewes that recover, the affected portion of the udder remains nonfunctional. In those that survive, the affected portion of the udder sloughs off.. The nongangrenous type may go unnoticed. The udder becomes hard, swollen, and inflamed, and the milk clots. Abscesses may form in the udder. Milk production is generally reduced, and the udder, or half of udder, becomes ...
