Article Synopsis
- * Twenty-six participants, including 13 with diabetes and 13 healthy individuals, had their skin temperature monitored using a thermal camera to compare the temperature on insole use to baseline measurements.
- * Results showed that a specific 2.5 mm-tall dimple insole effectively reduced temperature in certain foot areas better than a 4 mm-tall version, and it worked significantly better for the diabetic group, highlighting the potential for tailored insoles to help reduce foot complications in diabetes patients.
In Colombia, just the same as in the whole World, globalization of the market led to a large increase in importating of diverse devices. In case of devices for aesthetic use, importing a large number of different device types without adequate control of products, increases the risk of appearance of adverse events for their users.

The changes in diameter of retinal vessels are an important sign of diseases such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis and diabetes. Obtaining precise measurements of vascular widths is a critical and demanding process in automated retinal image analysis. This paper presents the development of a prototype for measuring the vessel diameters to calculate the arteriovenous ratio (AVR) by using different techniques including Gabor wavelet, gradients, morphological operations and Niblack.
