The dysfunction of wound healing in diabetes involves multiple healing processes by diminished inflammatory responses and delayed deposition of matrix components, wound remodeling, and closure. Furthermore, hyperglycemia increases the infection susceptibility of wounds. The wounds noted at distal

The Premise of the study:
Hyperbaric Oxygen as adjunctive therapy is effective towards the healing of diabetic lower extremity ulcers and has a role to play in major amputation prevention for persons with Diabetes Mellitus.
Title of the project:
Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen
According to the National Institute of Health, one in every twenty Americans over the age of 50 years old suffers from peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD is a manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis and is specifically characterized by atherosclerotic blockages of the arteries in the legs. This
Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is characterised by a recurrent transient vasospasm of the fingers or toes in response to a cold or stressful stimulus. Nitric oxide (NO•) is a known vasodilator and NO• donors, such as Glyceryl Trinitrate (GTN), improve blood flow in patients with RP and in cold sensitive
This is an interventional study of PAD patients that exhibit claudication. The purpose of this study is to determine the potential mechanisms by which Ramipril vastly improves the walking performance of these patients. The study will be achieved through these specific aims:
Specific Aim #1: Test the
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disorder that exposes the individual to repeated periods of hypoxia and awakenings during sleep. OSA occurs in up to one third of the population, constituting a public health problem. The prevalence of sleep apnea increases with age, reaching up to 90%. Its
Study design
The MICOLON study is a prospective, single-centre, observational cohort study on the association between 5th generation high sensitive cardiac troponin T levels and non-cardiac outcome after major abdominal surgery in patients at risk for coronary artery disease.
Patient
In patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), exercise induced limb ischemia (claudication) which limits walking capacity. Symptoms are due to pain at hip and/or buttock. Couple of origins may induce this pain such as vascular, cardiac, respiratory, musculoskeletal, neurologic, hematologic etc.
Purpose :
Patients with end stage renal disease are at an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the annual mortality from CVD in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients is substantially higher than in the general population. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD), the most common
This Phase 2 gene transfer study will look at whether different doses of Ad2/HIF-1α/VP16 can be tolerated safely by direct injection into the leg muscles where the blood flow is not sufficient to meet the oxygen demands of the leg muscles. The study will also assess whether patients who receive the
