An explainable machine learning model for predicting in‐hospital amputation rate of patients with diabetic foot ulcer
Just published this past week by our collective Chongqing/Singapore/and local LA squad. Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the most serious and alarming diabetic complications, which often leads to high amputation rates in diabetic patients. Machine learning is a part of the field of artificial intelligence, which can automatically learn models from data and […]

Thermometry reduces risk for reucleration in remission– in patients who reduce their activity
Important work from Sicco Bus, et al. published in BMJ Diabetes This RCT (DIATEMP) suggests that it’s not enough just to know that you’ve a preulcerative hot spot– but you need to do something about it. In this case, patients were told to reduce activity. Effectiveness of at-home skin temperature monitoring in reducing the incidence […]

The Thermo-Pressure Concept: A New Model in Diabetic Foot Risk Stratification
The Thermo-Pressure Concept: A New Model in Diabetic Foot Risk Stratification This from our Maltese SALSAmigos, Perren and coworkers Abstract: Elevated foot pressure and high temperatures have been proposed as predictive factors for diabetic foot ulceration; however, on their own, their predictive value is still questionable. This pilot study hypothesized that combining these two measurements […]
