[Treatment of diabetic angiopathies of the lower extremities].

Patients with diabetes mellitus accounted for 7% of all hospitalized patients. The authors analyse the treatment of 126 patients in whom diabetes mellitus was complicated by angiopathies of the lower limbs. Patients over 60 years of age accounted for 60.3% of cases. Concomitant diseases were found in 87 patients. The article shows the main principles of the complex management of patients, which is based on correction of carbohydrate and other types of metabolism, treatment of concomitant diseases, and timely operation. When surgery was necessary in stage IV of the disease, preference was given to economical operations. It is shown that if amputation of the limb cannot be avoided, an effort should be made to preserve the knee. The mortality rate was 10.3%.

[Current methods of treating post-injection abscesses].

The results of treatment of 137 patients with post-injection abscesses are analysed. The specific weight of such abscesses in the general structure of purulent diseases was 10.8%. Diabetes mellitus was present in 19.7% of the patients. Seventy nine patients were treated by a conventional method. In 58 patients, the surgical treatment with the use of a drainage-irrigative system was employed. Of them, in 15 patients, the prolonged aspiration by means of the adapted VK-1 microcompressor were performed. In therapy of post-injection abscesses by a conventional method, the mean period of temporary invalidity was 37.8 days, and in surgical treatment with the use of a drainage-irrigative system--16.2 days.
