Feridas de diabéticos tratados com LED e látex e o risco de glicemia instável / Diabetic wounds treated with LED and latex and the risk of unstable glycemia / Heridas diabéticas tratadas con LED y látex y el riesgo de glucemia inestable

Objetivo: caracterizar o Risco de Glicemia Instável de pacientes com feridas de membros inferiores em uso látex associado ao LED. Método: Estudo de coorte prospectivo com amostra n=15. Divididos em três grupos Grupo 1 curativo com látex e LED; Grupo 2 carvão ativado; e Grupo 3 realizavam autocurativo com látex e LED e identificação do Risco de glicemia instável. Análise de dados realizada pelo software SPSS®. Resultados: Os participantes 60% homens, idade 59,93±10,88 anos, fatores de Risco de glicemia instável: atividade física diária menor que o recomendado; conhecimento insuficiente do controle da doença, em todos os grupos; condição de saúde comprome-tida grupos I e III; controle insuficiente do diabetes grupo I; falta de adesão ao plano de controle do diabetes início ao fim, exceto pelo grupo II. Ocorreu redução das feridas em todos os grupos e melhor cicatrização no grupo III. Conclusão: A feridas maiores estavam no grupo I e ocorreu redução das feridas todos os grupos. Os principais fatores de risco de glicemia instável atividade física diária menor que o recomendado no início e final, condição de saúde comprometida grupos I e III, conhecimento insuficiente do controle da doença em todos os grupos

Objective: to characterize the risk of unstable blood glucose in patients with lower limb wounds using latex associated with LED. Method: Prospective cohort study with sample n=15. Divided into three groups Group 1 dressing with latex and LED; Group 2 activated charcoal; and Group 3 performed self-healing with latex and LED and identified the risk of unstable blood glucose. Data analysis performed by SPSS® software. Results: Participants 60% men, age 59.93±10.88 years, risk factors for unstable blood glucose: daily physical activity less than recommended; insufficient knowledge of disease control, in all groups; compromised health condition groups I and III; insuffi-cient control of group I diabetes; lack of adherence to the diabetes control plan from beginning to end, except for group II. There was a reduction of wounds in all groups and better healing in group III. Conclusion: The major wounds were in group I and there was a reduction of wounds in all groups. The main risk factors for unstable glycemia daily physical activity less than rec-ommended at the beginning and at the end, compromised health condition groups I and III, insufficient knowledge of disease control in all groups.

Objetivo: caracterizar el riesgo de inestabilidad glucémica en pacientes con heridas en miembros inferiores utilizando látex asociado a LED. Método: Estudio de cohorte pros-pectivo con muestra n=15. Dividido en tres grupos Grupo 1 aderezo con látex y LED; carbón activado del grupo 2; y el Grupo 3 realizó autocuración con látex y LED e identi-ficó el riesgo de glucosa en sangre inestable. Análisis de datos realizado por el software SPSS®. Resultados: Participantes 60% hombres, edad 59,93±10,88 años, factores de riesgo para glucemia inestable: actividad física diaria inferior a la recomendada; conoci-miento insuficiente del control de enfermedades, en todos los grupos; condiciones de salud comprometidas grupos I y III; control insuficiente de la diabetes del grupo I; falta de adherencia al plan de control de la diabetes de principio a fin, excepto en el grupo II. Hubo reducción de heridas en todos los grupos y mejor cicatrización en el grupo III. Conclusión: Las heridas mayores estaban en el grupo I y hubo reducción de heridas en todos los grupos. Los principales factores de riesgo para la glucemia inestable activi-dad física diaria inferior a la recomendada al principio y al final, condiciones de salud comprometidas grupos I y III, y conocimiento insuficiente del control de la enfermedad en todos los grupos.

Characterization of the Cicatrization Process in Diabetic Foot Ulcers Based on the Production of Reactive Oxygen Species.

The present study aims at evaluating the correlation between the free radical formation and the healing action of lower limbs' ulcers in a randomized controlled trial with the use of an adhesive derived from natural latex associated with a light-emitting diode (LED) circuit. The sample consists of 15 participants with lower limb lesions divided into three groups: group 1 case (5 participants) received the proposed dressing system adhesive of the natural latex associated with the LED circuit; group 2 control (5 participants) received the dressings at home performed by nurses according to and established by the clinic of wounds (treated with calcium alginate or silver foam); and group 3 (5 participants) also received the dressing in their homes with the use of the dressing adhesive derived from the natural latex associated with the LED circuit. The collected data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively by electron paramagnetic resonance for determination of free radical formation. Kruskal-Wallis statistical test was used to evaluate the effect of treatment on the lower limb's ulcer cicatrization process and its correlation with free radical. The results obtained corroborated the hypothesis about the reduction of the quantity of these molecules in the end of treatment related to the healing wound.
