Does the skin heat up before it breaks down in diabetic foot ulceration? @ALPSlimb #ActAgainstAmputation

Does the skin heat up before it breaks down in diabetic foot ulceration? Compelling and provocative work from our Dutch colleagues. They've published more on this important subject in the past few years than anyone and what we may be seeing is that, for some patients, thermometry may not be as accurate. While this idea...

The Value of Infrared Thermography to Assess Foot and Limb Perfusion in Relation to Medical, Surgical, Exercise or Pharmacological Interventions in Peripheral Artery Disease: A Systematic Review

The Value of Infrared Thermography to Assess Foot and Limb Perfusion in Relation to Medical, Surgical, Exercise or Pharmacological Interventions in Peripheral Artery Disease Here is work from our Italian colleagues Piva and coworkers. Infrared thermography (IRT) is a promising imaging method in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). This systematic review aims to provide... Continue Reading →

Development of AI classification model for angiosome-wise interpretive substantiation of plantar feet thermal asymmetry in type 2 diabetic subjects using infrared thermograms #Thermography #ActAgainstAmputation #Diagnostic

From our colleagues in Chennai. Abstract Diabetic Foot Syndrome (DFS) is the prime impetus for most of the lower extremity complications among the diabetic subjects. DFS is characterized by aberrant variations in plantar foot temperature distribution while healthy subjects exhibit a symmetric thermal pattern between the contralateral and ipsilateral plantar feet. Thus, "asymmetry analysis" of... Continue Reading →

Association between elevated skin temperature of the foot callus and inflammatory marker in people with diabetes #ActAgainstAmputation #Diagnostic #Theragnostic #DiabeticFoot

Calluses are defined as “hyperkeratosis caused by excessive mechanical loading in particular areas” and can contribute to the development of diabetic foot ulcers（DFUs）. Callus inflammation is a premonitory symptom of DFUs. To prevent DFUs, recent studies have recommended thermographic monitoring of foot skin temperature, which is recognized as a sign of skin inflammation. However, no... Continue Reading →

Can Wound Surface pH and Temperature Predict Wound Healing in Diabetic Foot Ulcer? #Theragnostics #Diagnostics #DiabeticFootUlcer

More data supporting diagnostics and theragnostics like wound pH and thermometry. Introduction: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is dreaded and one of the most intricate medical conditions in diabetes. Improving the healing of DFU is imperative for improved patient outcomes. To consider a biomarker of comprehensive value to patients and health care professionals, it should be cost...

Home temperature monitoring reduces risk of diabetic foot ulcer recurrence by more than half: Meta Analysis #ActAgainstAmputation #DiabeticFoot @ALPSlimb

Superb effort as usual from Golledge and coworkers in evaulating people in diabetic foot remission. Aims: To perform an updated systematic review of randomised controlled trials examining the efficacy of at-home foot temperature monitoring in reducing the risk of a diabetes-related foot ulcer (DFU). Methods: Systematic review performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and... Continue Reading →

Adherence to at-Home Monitoring of Foot Temperatures in People with Diabetes at High Risk of Ulceration #Thermometry #Remission #DiabeticFoot #ActAgainstAmputation

Data reported by Rovers and coworkers on 151 people in diabetic foot remission from our colleagues under the aegis of Sicco Bus and Jaap Van Netten. Bottom line: like with glucose monitoring (particularly in its early days) adherence to thermometry is spotty (56.6% adhering to daily checks at 18 months). We aimed to investigate adherence...

A Novel Machine Learning Approach for Severity Classification of Diabetic Foot Complications Using Thermogram Images #ActAgainstAmputation

We are seeing and better approaches to assisting us in identifying subtle asymmetries and personalized discontinuities in thermometry. This work from our Qatari colleagues is just such an example. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world, and is correlated to a high index of mortality. One of its major... Continue Reading →

Meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials testing the effect of at-home foot temperature monitoring and reduction of ambulatory activity in response to hotspots on the incidence of diabetes-related foot ulcers

Enjoy this deep dive into the current status of data supporting or refuting use of thermometry Aim: To perform an updated systematic review of randomised controlled trials examining the efficacy of at-home foot temperature monitoring in reducing the risk of a diabetes-related foot ulcer (DFU). Methods: Systematic review performed according to PRISMA guidelines. Risk-of-bias was assessed using... Continue Reading →
