[Usefulness of thermographic examination in the diagnosis of early peripheral ischemia of the extremities in patients with diabetes mellitus].

Vascular damage is the main complication of diabetes. An early sign of this complication is damage to the arterial and capillary vessels in the lower extremities with later impairment of peripheral blood flow. The aim of the present study was evaluation of the usefulness of thermography in the detection of early circulatory disturbances in the lower extremities during diabetes, and comparison of its results with those obtained in oscillometry. The study comprised 28 patients with type I diabetes aged from 16 to 57 years and 27 patients with type II diabetes aged from 35 to 65 years. The control group included 10 clinically health subjects in similar age group. It was found that thermographic changes were much more frequent than pains in the extremities and abnormal values of oscillometric++ index in diabetes type I and II. Nearly half the patients with evident thermographic disturbances had no oscillometric changes, and 2/3 of the patients felt no pains in the extremities.

[Restoration of physiologic integrity of the gastrointestinal tract because of fever following partial jejuno-ileal anastomosis in extreme obesity].

The authors present three patients with fever of hectic profile following partial excluding jejuno-ileal anastomosis for extreme obesity. Cause of such a high fever was not detected in any patient. Despite the treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics and intensive treatment no decrease in body temperature was achieved. Failure of these conservative methods forced surgeons to restore physiological integrity of the small intestine. Rapid normalization of body temperature and improvement in patients health status were noted after surgery.
