Patients with type 2 diabetes and surgical foot wounds: Overtrust in primary care physicians, isolation, and difficulties contemplating the future.

Aims: In Europe, 27 % of patients with a podiatric complication of diabetes are referred to a specialized structure for surgery after more than 3 months' disease progression. Our study aimed to analyze access to healthcare and future self-projection in patients with severe diabetic foot conditions.

Methods: We performed a qualitative study with semi-structured interviews in patients hospitalized with diabetic foot conditions requiring surgical treatment.

Imaging micrometer-sized aerosol particles with digital holography.

Small particles that are trapped, deposited, or otherwise fixed can be imaged by digital holography with a resolution approaching that of optical microscopy. When such particles are in motion as an aerosol, a comparable resolution is challenging to achieve. Using a simplified bi-telecentric lens system, we demonstrate that 1µm free-flowing aerosol particles can be imaged at the single-particle level using digital in-line holography.

[Bariatric surgery and drugs: Review of the literature and Adverse Drug Reactions analysis in French National Pharmacovigilance Database].

Introduction: Bariatric surgery is the only treatment for severe obesity (BMI>35kg/m) currently recognized as effective both in achieving tangible and lasting weight loss, and in improving obesity-related comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular complications. Bariatric surgery, like any other surgery of the digestive tract, can have an impact on nutrient absorption, as well as on drug absorption. The literature on drug management in bariatric surgery patients concerned mainly of case reports and retrospective studies involving a small number of patients.

Metals from spacecraft reentry in stratospheric aerosol particles.

Structural insights into the interactions of glutathione transferases with a nitric oxide carrier and sodium nitroprusside.

Glutathione transferases are detoxification enzymes with multifaceted roles, including a role in the metabolism and scavenging of nitric oxide (NO) compounds in cells. Here, we explored the ability of Trametes versicolor glutathione transferases (GSTs) from the Omega class (TvGSTOs) to bind metal-nitrosyl compounds. TvGSTOs have been studied previously for their ligandin role and are interesting models to study protein‒ligand interactions.
