Determining the Best Noninvasive Test for Peripheral Arterial Disease Diagnosis to Predict Diabetic Foot Ulcer Healing in Patients Following Endovascular Revascularization.

Background/objectives: To analyze the best noninvasive tests prognosis marker in patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) who underwent endovascular revascularization based on clinical outcomes, such as healing rate, time to heal, and free amputation survival after at least a six-month follow-up.

Methods: A multicentric prospective observational study was performed with 28 participants with ischemic or neuroischemic DFU who came to the participant centers and underwent endovascular revascularization between January 2022 and March 2023. Toe systolic pressure (TP), ankle systolic pressure (AP), the ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI), the toe brachial pressure index (TBPI), transcutaneous pressure of oxygen (TcPO), and skin perfusion pressure (SPP) were evaluated using PeriFlux 6000 System, Perimed, Sweden, before (Visit 0) and four weeks after revascularization (Visit 1).

Does HPV biotype influence the characteristics and evolution of plantar warts?

Background: Few studies have addressed the relationship of human papillomavirus (HPV) biotypes to patient characteristics and the clinical signs, course, and response to the treatment of plantar warts.

Objective: Analyze the HPV types associated with plantar warts and their relationship with warts characteristics, patient characteristics and response to treatment.

Methods: A total of 372 patients sampled for hyperkeratosis of a plantar wart were included.
