Insulin is the most effective drug to control diabetes but there is frequently a...
The Neuropad test in the screening of peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients.
Freitas, Cláudia; Carvalho, André; Melo-Rocha, Gustavo; Amaral, Cláudia; Pinto, Sara; Guimarães, Rosa; Neto, Helena; Suascun, José; Muras, JoséOne of the first signs of peripheral neuropathy is the loss of perspiration of the feet. Untill now, the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test has been considered the gold test to detect early peripheral neuropathy. Recently, the Neuropad test has become available: it is a cobalt salt plaster designed to change colour from blue to pink in contact with liquids, namely sweating. The objective of this study was to fi...
Evaluation of diabetic foot amputation rate.
Horta, Cláudia; Vilaverde, Joana; Mendes, Paula; Gonçalves, Isabel; Serra, Luís; Pinto, Pedro Sá; Almeida, Rui; Carvalho, Rui; Dores, JorgeIn 1987, it was created the first portuguese Diabetic Foot Clinic in Oporto, at the Hospital Geral de Santo António.

Since then and until 1995 the rate of major amputations had stabilised around 8%. The aim of the present study was to evaluate if there ...
