On diabetic foot, wound healing, amputation prevention, and the merger of consumer tech with medical devices
A long-time friend's offhand observation in Bremen — that small artery disease is easy to see on an angiogram because it doesn't look like nature — leads to Mandelbrot, Murray's law, and a quantifiable complexity index for the diabetic foot.
Fascinating continued work from our Belgian colleagues. Critical limb ischemia is associated with high mortality and major amputations. Intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (IADSA) has been the reference standard but has some shortcomings including the two-dimensional projection and the lack of tissue perfusion information. The aim of this exploratory study is to examine four-dimensional computed tomography... Continue Reading →
Congratulations to Chang and coworkers on this effort. This makes us want to reach back to work from our team a dozen or so years ago, where we failed to really explore this fascinating area of creating, in essence, a distress signal in the bone leading to upregulation of factors that can potentially help toward...
