    Amit Jain’s system of practice for diabetic foot: the new religion in diabetic foot field

    No full text
    Diabetic foot is a known public health problem and a devastating complication of diabetes that is known to lead to amputation. Past decade has seen various new developments in field of diabetic foot. Amit Jain’s system of practice for diabetic foot is one new such development that was developed for improvising and standardization of diabetic foot. Various new concepts were laid down under this system, thereby creating a separate system that can be equated or considered to be a new religion in diabetic foot field.</jats:p

    A study was conducted to analyze the visible named toe deformities that occur in foot of patients with diabetes through the new Amit Jains extended SCC classification. A total of 27 patients were included who fulfilled the criteria. Majority of the patients (59.3%) were males. 11.1% of patients had diabetes of more than 24 years duration. Type 1 toe deformities were the most common deformities seen in 85.2% of the cases. Hammer toe was the commonest pathological type followed by claw toes. Around 14.8% had underlying callus/ulcers (complex deformity). This new classification is simple and easy to use in clinical practice. [Med-Science 2020; 9(4.000): 982-7

    Amit Jain’s surgical scoring system and its ability in predicting the major amputation in diabetic foot complications

    There are numerous scoring system used in different parts of the world and most of them are for diabetic foot ulcers only with Amit Jain’s surgical scoring system being the first such scoring for diabetic foot complications. This study aims to validate the Amit Jain’s scoring system in predicting the risk of major amputation in diabetic foot complications. A retrospective analysis was done in Department of General Surgery of Raja Rajeswari medical college, Bengaluru, India. The study period was from January 2018 to December 2019. All the patients who underwent surgeries for diabetic foot complications in our department were included in the study. A total of 47 patients were included in this study. Majority of patients (76.6%) were males 61.7% of patients had diabetes mellitus of less than 10 years duration. Abscess was the most common pathological lesion seen in the foot affecting 36.17%. Most of the patients (59.6%) with diabetic foot complications had Amit Jain’s surgical score of 6-10 and were in low risk category.&nbsp; 12 patients (25.5%) underwent major amputation in this study and a significant association (P&lt;0.001) was noted between Amit Jain’s surgical scoring and major amputation.&nbsp

    A Multi-Objective Optimization of a District Heating Network: Integrated and Dynamic Decarbonization Solutions for the Case Study of Riva Del Garda (Italy)

    This study explores the decarbonization of the district heating network in Riva del Garda. The existing system (baseline) was modeled in EnergyPLAN, and future configurations were optimized using a Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) to minimize both CO2 emissions and annual costs. Nine decision variables were assessed under defined boundary conditions to generate alternative future scenarios grouped into five types. In Type A, a large deep geothermal cogeneration plant combined with a small biomass boiler achieved the only zero-emission solution, with lower annual costs than the baseline but high capital needs. Excluding deep geothermal cogeneration (Type B) led to dominance of the biomass boiler and waste heat recovery from the Alto Garda Power (AGP) plant; full decarbonization remained possible only with extensive biomass use at a higher cost. Removing biomass (Type C), the solar thermal plant, and the shallow geothermal heat pump enabled deep but costly decarbonization, including grid electricity dependence. Types D and E, dominated, respectively, by shallow geothermal heat pump and electric boiler, provided moderate emission reductions and further increase in costs. Across all types, thermal storage improved operational flexibility. These analyses were also extended to assess potential district heating network expansions within Riva del Garda and into the neighboring municipality of Arco

    To evaluate transmetatarsal amputation in diabetic foot through the Amit Jains system of practice An experience from 2 different centres

    The aim of this study was to evaluate trans metatarsal amputation (TMA) done in diabetic foot through Amit Jains universal classification and scoring system and assess major amputations done in them. We conducted a descriptive retrospective analysis from 2 centers namely Amit Jains Institute of Diabetic Foot &Wound Care at Brindhavvan Areion Hospital and at Department of surgery, Raja Rajeswari medical college, Bengaluru, India. The study period was from January 2017 to June 2018. 15 patients were recruited in the study with 73.3% of them being males. Around 20 % of them were above 70 years of age. Majority of patients who underwent TMA had open stump and it had significant association with duration of diabetes. Specialist diabetic foot surgeon had significant propensity to close the stump after trans metatarsal amputation (P [Med-Science 2020; 9(4.000): 888-95
