Foot of an 80-year old individual with type 2 diabetes and heart failure. The second toe has a large ischaemic ulcer. The first toe has a small one. The prevalence of arterial insufficiency ulcers among people with Diabetes is high due to decreased blood flow caused by the thinning of arteries and the lack of sensation due to diabetic neuropathy.
Critical limb ischemia is diagnosed by the presence of ischemic rest pain, and an ulcers that will not heal or gangrene due to insufficient blood flow. [3] Insufficient blood flow may be confirmed by ankle-brachial index (ABI), ankle pressure, toe-brachial index (TBI), toe systolic pressure, transcutaneous oxygen measurement (TcpO2 ), or skin perfusion pressure (SPP).
Martorell's ulcer, also known as hypertensive leg ulcer or necrotic angiodermatitis, [1] is a painful ulceration of the lower leg associated with diastolic [citation needed] arterial hypertension. It was first identified by the Spanish cardiologist Fernando Martorell in 1945, [ 3 ] [ 4 ] who referred to the ulcers as 'hypertensive ischaemic ...

Acute intestinal ischemia affects about five per hundred thousand people per year in the developed world. [4] Chronic intestinal ischemia affects about one per hundred thousand people. [5] Most people affected are over 60 years old. [3] Rates are about equal in males and females of the same age. [3] Intestinal ischemia was first described in ...
The main reason for the acute phase of ischemia-reperfusion injury is oxygen deprivation and, therefore, arrest of generation of ATP (cellular energy currency) by mitochondria oxidative phosphorylation. Tissue damage due to the general energy deficit during ischemia is followed by reperfusion (increase of oxygen level) when the injury is enhanced.
Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-11 codes 6B00-6B0Z within Mental, behavioural or neurodevelopmental disorders should be included in this category. There are no pages or files in this category.
Types of mesenteric ischemia are generally separated into acute and chronic processes, because this helps determine treatment and prognosis. [ 4 ] Bowel obstruction is most often caused by intestinal adhesions , which frequently form after abdominal surgeries, or by chronic infections such as diverticulitis , hepatitis , and inflammatory bowel ...
