Diabetic foot infection severity as a predictor of re-ulceration following partial forefoot amputation.

Diabetic foot ulcer re-ulceration is a common complication following partial forefoot amputation. Re-ulceration refers to the occurrence of a skin break that penetrates through the epidermis and a portion of the dermis, occurring at any site on either the same or opposite foot where amputation took place. Treatment for diabetic foot ulcers often includes an extended course of local wound care and may entail surgical procedures.

Vasopressor-Induced Peripheral Gangrene Secondary to COVID-19: A Case Report.

Lower-extremity amputations are a major concern for the current state and future of healthcare, with ischemia contributing significantly to this issue. This is an infrequent but serious complication of vasopressor use. Unfortunately, there is little research existing on the topic and even fewer guidelines on treatment options.

A unified framework for automatic wound segmentation and analysis with deep convolutional neural networks.

Wound surface area changes over multiple weeks are highly predictive of the wound healing process. Furthermore, the quality and quantity of the tissue in the wound bed also offer important prognostic information. Unfortunately, accurate measurements of wound surface area changes are out of reach in the busy wound practice setting.
