The degree of blood vessel stenosis significantly influences diabetic foot treatment. This study aimed to investigate the association between computed tomography angiography (CTA) stenosis and skin perfusion pressure (SPP), which are noninvasive vascular assessments used to evaluate diabetic foot wounds. Forty patients who reported diabetic foot wounds between November 2016 and December 2017 were included in the study. SPPand CTA were performed to evaluate the blood flow, and the rate of decrease in wound size was measured for the wounds corresponding to Meggitt-Wagner grade 1 at the first evaluation and 4-week intervals. The P value of the association between the degree of CTA stenosis and the SPP value was 0.915, and the P value of the association between CTA stenosis and decreasing rate of wound size was .235. There was no statistically significant association between SPP and the decreasing rate of wound size according to the degree of CTA stenosis. The association between SPP value and the decreasing rate of wound size was statistically significant (P < .05). The decreasing rate in diabetic foot wound size was significantly associated with SPP but not with CTA stenosis.

Background: Phage therapy offers a promising alternative for treating serious infections, including diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), through the lytic action of phages. This randomized double-blind study was conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the TP-102 bacteriophage cocktail in patients with DFUs non-infected and infected with Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and/or Acinetobacter baumannii.
Methods: Nineteen participants with DFUs were randomized after susceptibility testing.

Bacterial biofilms represent a formidable challenge in the treatment of chronic wounds, largely because of their resistance to conventional antibiotics. The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial strains exacerbates this issue, necessitating a shift towards exploring alternative therapeutic approaches. In response to this urgent need, there has been a surge in research efforts aimed at identifying effective non-antibiotic treatments.

Background: This review article describes the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). The chronic complications of DM are diverse, often progressive and difficult to manage or reverse.
Objective: The aim of this review is to highlight the current concepts in the pathogenic mechanisms of the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus, with a view to educate doctors and specialists on the management of these problems.
Prognostic value of toe pressure measurements in patients with diabetic foot ulcers and medial arterial calcification.
Ann Vasc Surg

Department of Vascular Surgery, Haga Teaching Hospital, the Hague, the Netherlands.
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.
