On diabetic foot, wound healing, amputation prevention, and the merger of consumer tech with medical devices
As requested…here is the lecture from D-Foot Madrid. As always ask you to copy it, improve it and pay it forward! I also want to thank the great and good Prof. Brad Spellberg, for his great data from #DFCon18 as well as Bret Sellman of Medimmune.

Armstrong, Professor of Surgery and Director of the Southwestern Academic Limb Salvage Alliance (SALSA) at Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California provided keynote lectures at the 19th Canadian Federation of Podiatric Medicine (CFPM) in Niagara Falls this past Friday. The lectures, which featured research ranging from implantable medical devices to advances […]

Read More Delaying Decay? Impairment of an Endothelial NAD+-H2S Signaling Network Is a Reversible Cause of Vascular Aging @DavidASincairWow. A great read. The quantum world is a weird one. In theory and to some extent in practice its tenets demand that a particle can appear to be in two places at once—a paradoxical phenomenon known as superposition—and that two particles can become “entangled,” sharing information across arbitrarily large distances through some still-unknown mechanism. […]

The meeting, which consisted of university scientists from across the nation, was designed to develop a consortium of research centers to scale up important early-stage research in wound healing focusing on biomarkers and […]

Please distribute, pay it forward and #ActAgainstAmputation #ToeFlowandGoIn August, 2017 in SALSA clinic, Dr. Stephanie Woelfel, DPT, suggested that the team we have long nicknamed “Toe and Flow” (highlighting the central nature of podiatric and vascular surgery to the interdisciplinary team) was inadequate to describe what we actually did. In fact, “Toe Flow and Go” might better describe what it was we […]

Read More Has “modding” ones body finally hit the mainstream? Thousands Of Swedes Are Inserting Microchips Under Their SkinThis great work from our SALSAmigos at University of Michigan. In short: implementation of Podiatry in a University Health System cut amputation rates in half, doubled preventative surgical procedures and shifted care from inpatient to outpatient. AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Diabetes foot complications remain very prevalent in US and worldwide, and a major risk for devastating amputations. We […]
