ABSTRACT

Diabetic foot ulceration and gangrene is a major cause of morbidity andmortality. This study has examined potential preventive footcare practices in a cohort of diabetic patients presenting with foot gangrene. One hundred and two (102) diabetic emergencies presented during the study period. Diabetic foot gangrene accounted for 27 (26%) of these cases. There were 18 males and 9 females (M:F = 2:1), with a mean age of 52+13 years. The mean duration of ulceration was 4±3 weeks and mean ulcer­gangrene interval was 1.2±0.5 weeks. Only 9 patients (33%) had been exposed to any form of footcare education, 15 patients (55%) treated their ulcers by unorthodox means, and 63% of the patients practiced no significant footcare. More widespread education and awareness is needed to prevent the continuing and serious problem of diabetic foot gangrene and consequent lower limb amputation

ABSTRACT

BUT:repertorier les differents aspects des lesions observees en. coloscopie totale au COUTS des rectorragies. A. MATERIEL ET METHODES : Etude retrospective de 139 comptes rendus de malades ayant subi une coloscopie totale pour rectorragie; colliges entre Avril 1992 et Janvier 2003 dans l'unite d'endoscopie digestive du service d'Hepato-Gastroenterologie du CHU de Cocody (Abidjan). Les parametres etudies etaient : lige ; le sexe ; la profession; la qualite de la preparation colique ; le siege et l'aspect des lesions. RESULTATS : -II existait une predominance masculine (87 hommes et 52 femmes) avec un sex-ratio de 1;7 ; -La preparation colique a ete jugee bonne dans 9l;pour cent des cas; -La coloscopie totale etait normale chez 19 patients; -Les 120 malades restants ont presente au moins une lesion; -La repartition des lesions etait la suivante: hemorroides (50;8pour cent); anorectocolite (45pour cent); polype (9;2pour cent); cancer (8;3pour cent); diverticule (8;3pour cent); varice (4;2pour cent); angiodysplasie (1;7pour cent); fissure (1;7pour cent); condylome (0;8pour cent) ; -La topographie ano-rectale predominait avant l'age de 45 ans (p 0;05). Cette etude montre la prevalence endoscopique elevee des rectorragies ainsi que leurs origines multiples et diversifiees. D'ou la necessite d'effectuer devant toute rectorragie une investigation endoscopique poussee; afin de ne pas attribuer a tort ces rectorragies aux hemorroides qui sont un diagnostic d'elimination
