Diabetic Foot

As per available reports about 13 Relevant Journal, 12 Conferences, 11 National Symposiums are presently dedicated exclusively to Diabetic Foot and about 38 open access articles are being published on Diabetic Foot.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) represents several diseases in which high blood glucose levels over time can damage the nerves, kidneys, eyes, and blood vessels. Diabetes can also decrease the body's ability to fight infection. When diabetes is not well controlled, damage to the organs and impairment of the immune system is likely. Foot problems commonly develop in people with diabetes and can quickly become serious.

OMICS International Organizes 1000+ Global Events Every Year across USA, Europe & Asia with support from 1000 more scientific societies and Publishes 700+ Open access journals which contains over 100000 eminent personalities, reputed scientists as editorial board and organizing committee members. The conference series website will provide you list and details about the conference organize worldwide.

Scope and Importance:

Diabetic foot infections frequently cause morbidity, hospitalization, and amputations. Gram-positive cocci, especially staphylococci and also streptococci, are the predominant pathogens. Chronic or previously treated wounds often yield several microbes on culture, including gram-negative bacilli and anaerobes. Selecting appropriate antimicrobial therapy for diabetic foot infections requires knowledge of the likely etiologic agents. Various skin disorders and environmental exposures, as well as recent antibiotic therapy, can alter the colonizing flora of skin wounds.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) represents several diseases in which high blood glucose levels over time can damage the nerves, kidneys, eyes, and blood vessels. Diabetes can also decrease the body's ability to fight infection. When diabetes is not well controlled, damage to the organs and impairment of the immune system is likely. Foot problems commonly develop in people with diabetes and can quickly become serious.

• With damage to the nervous system, a person with diabetes may not be able to feel his or her feet properly. Normal sweat secretion and oil production that lubricates the skin of the foot is impaired. These factors together can lead to abnormal pressure on the skin, bones, and joints of the foot during walking and can lead to breakdown of the skin of the foot. Sores may develop.
• Damage to blood vessels and impairment of the immune system from diabetes make it difficult to heal these wounds. Bacterial infection of the skin, connective tissues, muscles, and bones can then occur. These infections can develop into gangrene. Because of the poor blood flow, antibiotics cannot get to the site of the infection easily. Often, the only treatment for this is amputation of the foot or leg. If the infection spreads to the bloodstream, this process can be life-threatening.
• People with diabetes must be fully aware of how to prevent foot problems before they occur, to recognize problems early, and to seek the right treatments when problems do occur. Although treatment for diabetic foot problems has improved, prevention - including good control of blood sugar level - remains the best way to prevent diabetic complications.

Diabetic Foot Care Causes:

• Several risk factors increase a person with diabetes chances of developing foot problems and diabetic infections in the legs and feet.
• Footwear: Poorly fitting shoes are a common cause of diabetic foot problems.
• If the patient has red spots, sore spots, blisters, corns, calluses, or consistent pain associated with wearing shoes, new properly fitting footwear must be obtained as soon as possible.
• Nerve damage: People with long-standing or poorly controlled diabetes are at risk for having damage to the nerves in their feet. The medical term for this is peripheral neuropathy.
• A person with diabetes may not properly sense minor injuries (such as cuts, scrapes, blisters), signs of abnormal wear and tear (that turn into calluses and corns), and foot strain. Normally, people can feel if there is a stone in their shoe, then remove it immediately. A person who has diabetes may not be able to perceive a stone. Its constant rubbing can easily create a sore.
• Poor circulation: Especially when poorly controlled, diabetes can lead to accelerated hardening of the arteries or atherosclerosis. When blood flow to injured tissues is poor, healing does not occur properly.
• Trauma to the foot: Any trauma to the foot can increase the risk for a more serious problem to develop.
• Infections
• Athlete's foot, a fungal infection of the skin or toenails, can lead to more serious bacterial infections and should be treated promptly.
• Ingrown toenails should be handled right away by a foot specialist. Toenail fungus should also be treated.
• Smoking: Smoking any form of tobacco causes damage to the small blood vessels in the feet and legs. This damage can disrupt the healing process and is a major risk factor for infections and amputations. The importance of smoking cessation cannot be overemphasized.

Market Analysis:

The diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) treatment market will undergo impressive growth over a five-year period, increasing from $302m in 2012 to $1.58 billion by the end of 2017, at a substantial Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 39.9%, according to a new research. The United States contributed to the majority of the sales in 2012, generating an estimated $238 million. Moreover, the U.S. market will continue to hold this status in 2017, when it will represent a whopping 85 percent share of the global market with sales of around $1.34 billion.
