On this study, patients with vascular ulceration on the lower legs treated with amniocordal membrane grafts, are analyzed. The graft implantation procedure is also described. This surgical procedure could be made ambulatorily. The results from this study confirm the short time of healing needed by this technique and the immediate release of the symptoms. The results also confirm the simplicity and economy of the technique, which could be carried out at any health level. Patients were distributed into two groups of treatment with similar variables. On the first group, an amniocorial membrane was used. On the second one, the treatment was carried out by the classic way. The resulting chi 2 was highly significant.

The present study includes 404 patients with Diabetes Mellitus, admitted into the Angiology Service from the Hospital Provincial Docente Manuel Ascunse Domenech, Camaguey and from Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola, Ciego de Avila. Type of injury, level of obstruction at the lower limbs, type of diabetes and treatment received for each patient were analyzed. Preliminary conclusions are: no relation was found between type of diabetes and level of obstruction; and the second conclusion was that patients receiving oral hypoglicemiants presented more obstruction, with a significant difference by the square test. Time of disease and age of patient had a direct correlation with the presence of vasculopathy. Finally, it should be noted that high level of glicemy during a long period of time and elderly patients are the main factors implicated in the high incidence of vasculopathy in diabetic patients.

Five case reports about patients with glomus tumors surgically treated at Angiology and Orthopedics Department of the Hospital Provisional Docente "Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola" in Diego de Avila are going to be presented. In all patients diagnosis was confirmed by anatomopathologic study. We have to note in all the five cases the report of specific pain produced after unimportant traumatisms and brusk changes on the temperature at tumor level. Is also remarkable in one from the five cases an eroded area on the distal phalanx from the fourth right finger produced by tumor, which was localized at nail base. A brief literature review is also presented.
