“Spooky Action at a Distance”: The Most Comprehensive Review Yet of Physiologic Neuromodulation for Limb Preservation #ActAgainstAmputation #Neuromodulation #SpinalCordStimulation #CLTI @BurnsTrauma @KeckSchool_USC @ResearchatUSC @USC

Our new paper in Burns and Trauma presents the most comprehensive review yet of spooky action at a distance therapies for diabetic limb preservation — from spinal cord stimulation and splenic ultrasound to remote ischemic conditioning and tibial transport. Five modalities, three mechanistic pathways, one shared destination: tissue repair at a distance.

Unlocking the Potential of Pedal Acceleration Time in Peripheral Artery Disease Diagnosis: The Latest Data #ActAgainstAmputation #Diagnostics #CLTI

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a widespread but often underdiagnosed condition affecting millions worldwide. Traditional diagnostic tools like the ankle-brachial index (ABI) and toe-brachial index (TBI) have limitations, particularly in patients with diabetes or medial arterial calcification. A newly published study in the European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery by Sommerset et al. introduces pedal acceleration time... Continue Reading →

Ultrasound-Assisted Wound (UAW) Debridement in the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis @JosLuisLzaroMa1 #Diabeticfoot @alpslimb 

More and more data to support improvement in wound optimization with ultrasound assisted wound debridement from our long-time friends from the Complutense in Madrid. A systematic review and meta-analysis were carried out to investigate the effect of ultrasound-assisted wound (UAW) debridement in patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). All selected studies were evaluated using the... Continue Reading →
