Article Synopsis
- Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in diabetic patients can lead to severe complications like foot ulcers and amputations, often because its symptoms are masked by peripheral neuropathy.
- A study with 855 diabetic patients identified key factors associated with PAD, such as age, LDL cholesterol levels, and pulse/sensation in the feet.
- Researchers emphasize the importance of early PAD screening for diabetic patients to catch risk factors, enabling timely intervention and reducing the risk of serious outcomes.
A Novel Low-Cost Wireless Footwear System for Monitoring Diabetic Foot Patients.

Diabetic foot is one of the main complications of diabetes with the characteristics of high incidence and difficulty in treatment. Diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy may develop foot ulcers, and in severe cases amputations are required and some may even die. Plantar pressure can be used to assess the risk of developing diabetic foot, but the existing plantar pressure monitoring methods are not suitable for long-term monitoring in daily life.

In this study, a metal-tolerance and plant growth-promoting endophytic bacterium JN6 was firstly isolated from roots of Mn-hyperaccumulator Polygonum pubescens grown in metal-contaminated soil and identified as Rahnella sp. based on 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis.

We examined the effects of pravastatin on the LPC-induced cardiac dysfunction in isolated rat hearts. Rat hearts were randomly divided into four groups.

Objective: To study the three-dimensional structure of ventricular myocardial fiber in human heart.
Methods: Eight human heart were obtained from male donors aged 81.9-/+7.
Objective: The 3-dimensional arrangement of the ventricular mass remains controversial. In this study, we used magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (MRDTI) in an attempt to determine whether the ventricular mass is arranged in the form of a helical ventricular myocardial band (HVMB) and what the geometrical features of the HVMB are in postmortem pig hearts.
Materials And Methods: Ten pig hearts were harvested from the slaughterhouse, and their whole-body MR images were obtained.
