Vascular and Microvascular Disease of the Foot in Diabetes: Implications for Foot Care
Abstract
PROBLEMS of the foot in patients with diabetes mellitus are often ascribed to "small-vessel disease." In particular, there is a widespread misconception that patients with diabetes mellitus have arteriolar occlusive disease, which can cause ischemic lesions even in the presence of normal pedal pulses. This view often leads to inappropriate care of the patient and a hopeless attitude on the part of the physician.The prevailing view regarding the presence of microvascular occlusive disease probably originated in an early study by Goldenberg et al.1 Specimens obtained by amputation from patients with and without diabetes were studied retrospectively with light microscopy. . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
