Background Non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are significant risk factors for amputations. Though the available literature suggests that adjuvant hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) fastens the healing process and reduces the risk of amputations, its overall evidence in the reduction of amputation remains controversial. Thus, the present study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of adjuvant HBOT and standard wound care (SWC) with SWC alone in patients with DFUs.

Aim: (1) To classify patients with community-acquired pressure injury (CAPI) according to the risk factors of PI and to assess validity of the classified groups. (2) To clarify characteristics of each group for CAPI prevention and care.

Design: This study is designed to classify CAPI patients into clusters based on a retrospective study of medical records, followed by cluster analysis and description of each cluster's characteristics.

Introduction: The efficacy of lipoprotein apheresis (LA) in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) has been primarily attributed to its anti-atherosclerotic effects through the adsorption of lipoproteins. However, the other potential effects of LA remain unknown. We evaluated changes in serum profiles before and after LA using a comprehensive analysis to explore the underlying mechanism.

Background: Bacterial contamination of medical equipment is a significant risk in both human and veterinary medicine, leading to potential cross-contamination between clinicians, technicians, patients, and healthcare professionals. Pathogens can persist on surfaces, resulting in healthcare-associated infections. Tonometry used to measure intraocular pressure for diagnosing conditions like glaucoma and uveitis, is crucial in both human and veterinary care.

Objectives: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are one of the most serious chronic diabetes related complications. Since medial arterial calcification (MAC) can be present in patients with a DFU, toe pressure (TP) measurements are advised to grade potential ischemia. However, the value of TP to predict clinical outcomes in this group of patients is poorly understood.
