Article Synopsis
- - Diabetic Foot Syndrome is a serious condition linked to high risks of death and limb amputation, requiring comprehensive care for effective healing.
- - This case report focuses on a patient with type 2 diabetes and other serious health issues, detailing the treatment of burns using autologous skin grafts to promote healing.
- - It suggests that using products that stimulate or replace the extracellular matrix could enhance burn treatment and offer easier options for recovery.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of injectable versus oral semaglutide in managing type 2 diabetes by examining real-world clinical outcomes, including changes in HbA1c and body weight.
- Researchers analyzed data from two matched groups of 107 participants each, finding that both formulations led to similar reductions in HbA1c and comparable weight loss after 18 months, although injectable users showed greater persistence with the medication.
- The findings suggest that, in practical settings, both forms of semaglutide are effective for T2D management, but results may not apply universally to all patient populations due to specific characteristics of the cohorts studied.

Diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) is a major complication of diabetes mellitus. Coronavirus infectious disease 2019 (COVID-19) has created new necessities and priorities in DFS management. These include telemedicine and patient triage to minimise hospitalisation and visits to the clinic.

- The diabetic foot (DF) is a serious complication of diabetes that affects many patients, but exercise therapy (ET) is often underutilized in treatment.
- Factors like uncertainty about ET's effectiveness in preventing ulcers and challenges in organizing ET programs contribute to this low usage.
- New technologies, such as sensor-equipped devices, offer promising ways to monitor and encourage physical activity, potentially enhancing the application of ET and improving patient outcomes.
Early reports from Asia suggested that increased serum levels of the muscular enzyme creatine-(phospho)-kinase (CK/CPK) could be associated with a more severe prognosis in COVID-19. The aim of this single-center retrospective cohort study of 331 consecutive COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized during Italy's "first wave" was to verify this relationship, and to evaluate the role of possible confounding factors (age, body mass index, gender, and comorbidities). We subdivided our cohort in two groups, based on "severe" ( = 99) or "mild" ( = 232) outcomes.
