[Percutaneous oximetry assessment of oxygen pressure in feet with spastic hemiparesis following stroke].

In the period 1988-1993 at the Geriatrics Department percutaneous oximetric determinations of oxygen pressure were done in 40 patients with spastic hemiparesis after stroke. The obtained results indicated a lower pressure of oxygen in the foot of the paretic extremity as compared with contralateral extremity. This suggests a relationship between the degree of oxygen supply to the tissues and the side of hemiparesis following stroke.

[Usefulness of transcutaneous oximetry in detection of diabetic microangiopathy in lower limbs].

The purpose of the work was an assessment of the usefulness of transcutaneous measurement of O2 pressure in the foot (in recumbent position, recumbent with venostasis, elevated and erect position) for the detection of microcirculation disturbances in patients with diabetes mellitus. The studies included 43 patients with type I and II diabetes without haemodynamically significant stenoses of the axial arteries of the lower limbs, and a control group of 14. It was found that already in the period preceding the development of obliterative lesions in the arteries, microcirculation disturbances in the lower limbs became manifest causing statistically significant decrease of tcPO2 in patients with type I and II diabetes mellitus. The values of tcPO2 in position with limb elevation differentiate best these two groups of patients.

[Hemodynamic profile of primary arterial hypertension in the elderly].

Cases of the primary arterial hypertension in the elderly (over 60 years of age) have been analysed. It has been found that approximately 70% of patients have had systolic-diastolic hypertension and the remaining 30%--diastolic hypertension. Cardiac output, cardiac index, peripheral resistance, left ventricle activity index, and SV with pulse rate multiplied by diastolic blood pressure had been determined with impedance rheography. Significant individual differences in the value of the analysed indices have been noted. Systolic-diastolic arterial hypertension was characterized by a decrease in SV and increase in peripheral resistance whereas dominating systolic hypertension was was manifested by a significant increase in peripheral vascular resistance. Other indices have not differentiated both forms of the arterial hypertension.
