Background: The general public perceives plastic surgeons as cosmetic surgeons. This study aimed to assess the general public's awareness of the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery in Saudi Arabia.
Methods: A short, anonymous, web-based survey was distributed to the public using SurveyMonkey as a platform. Participants were asked to choose the surgeon for managing 16 case scenarios, 11 of which were commonly managed by plastic surgeons.
Results: In total, 2,116 participants completed the survey. The participants correctly chose plastic surgery as the specialty for managing 3 of the 11 listed plastic surgery case scenarios.
Conclusion: More efforts are needed from plastic surgeons and media to educate the public about the scope of plastic and reconstructive surgery.

The chronic diabetic wounds represented by diabetes foot ulcers (DFUs) are a worldwide challenge. Excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and persistent inflammation caused by the impaired phenotype switch of macrophages from M1 to M2 during wound healing are the main culprits of non-healing diabetic wounds. Therefore, an injectable DMM/GelMA hydrogel as a promising wound dressing was designed to regulate the mitochondrial metabolism of macrophages via inhibiting succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity and to promote macrophage repolarization towards M2 type.
