Predicting Success in Spinal Cord Stimulation for the Diabetic Foot: The Role of Infrared Thermography

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been an emerging therapy for patients with intractable ischemic pain and non-healing diabetic foot complications. While traditionally used for pain relief, evidence is building that SCS may also enhance blood flow, support ulcer healing, and even prolong limb salvage. But the critical question remains: who benefits most from this expensive... Continue Reading →

Delphi-2M: An AI Model for Predicting Future Disease Trajectories

A team of researchers has introduced Delphi-2M, a generative artificial intelligence model trained to forecast an individual’s risk of developing more than 1,000 diseases years into the future. Built on transformer architecture similar to GPT, Delphi-2M was trained on the longitudinal health records of more than 500,000 participants in the UK Biobank and validated on... Continue Reading →

Beyond Sole Salvation: Prolonging Life Through Multidisciplinary Limb Preservation #ActAgainstAmputation @JVascSurg @ALPSLimb

When we speak of limb salvage, it is easy to think only in terms of preventing amputation. But as new evidence makes clear, the story does not end at the ankle. It is not just about preserving the limb—it is about extending life and helping people stay active, engaged, and moving. In a recent study,... Continue Reading →

When Stress Doesn’t Tell the Whole Story: Walking Speed, Pre-Ulcers, and the Path to Prevention #ActAgainstAmputation #DiabeticFootUlcer

For decades, clinicians and researchers have sought a simple, reliable biomechanical predictor of diabetic foot ulceration. Peak plantar pressure has been the standard metric, but its predictive value has always been modest. A newer, more holistic measure—cumulative plantar tissue stress (CPTS)—was thought to offer better predictive power by integrating multiple factors: plantar pressure, time spent...
