Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes in both Type 1 (T1D) and Type 2 (T2D). While there are no specific medications to prevent or treat DPN, certain strategies can help halt its progression. In T1D, maintaining tight glycemic control through insulin therapy can effectively prevent or delay the onset of DPN.

Background: Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SIONFH) is a universal hip articular disease and is very hard to perceive at an early stage. The understanding of the pathogenesis of SIONFH is still limited, and the identification of efficient diagnostic biomarkers is insufficient. This research aims to recognize and validate the latent exosome-related molecular signature in SIONFH diagnosis by employing bioinformatics to investigate exosome-related mechanisms in SIONFH.

Infections caused by persistent, drug-resistant bacteria pose significant challenges in inflammation treatment, often leading to severe morbidity and mortality. Herein, the photosensitizer rhodamine derivatives are selected as the light-trapping dye and the electron-rich substituent N-nitrosoaminophen as the nitric oxide (NO)-releasing component to develop a multifunctional (deep) red-light activatable NO photocage/photodynamic prodrug for efficient treatment of wounds and diabetic foot infections. The prodrug, RhB-NO-2 integrates antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), NO sterilization, and NO-mediated anti-inflammatory properties within a small organic molecule and is capable of releasing NO and generating Reactive oxygen species (ROS) when exposed to (deep) red laser (660 nm).

Repairing the Deltoid Ligament in Ankle Fractures Is it time for a Paradigm Shift?

Foot Ankle Spec

January 2025

Trauma Unit, Department of Surgery, Amsterdam UMC (Location AMC), University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Background: It remains unclear whether repairing the deltoid ligament (DL) is beneficial in acute ankle fractures. The aim of this review is to critically review the developments in deltoid ligament repair (DLR) in ankle fractures over the course of 44 years.

Method: An electronic search was conducted on the PubMed and Embase database including comparative studies evaluating the effect of performing DLR in adults suffering from a closed acute ankle fracture with suspected rupture of the DL.
