This narrative mini-review article aimed to investigate the potential association of vitamin B levels with diabetic neuropathy (DN) and diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). It was demonstrated that B deficiency seems to be related to DFUs in cases of metformin administration and bariatric surgery. B supplementation with dietary measures and agents may improve DN and quality of life (QoL). However, data are still preliminary and more experience is needed.

Autologous or allogeneic platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (pEVs) show potential in enhancing tissue recovery and healing chronic wounds. pEVs promote neovascularization and cell migration while reducing inflammation, oxidative stress, and scarring. However, their efficacy in clinical settings is challenged by their susceptibility to washout by wound exudate.

Aims: To describe the sonographic features of active Charcot neuro-osteoarthropathy (CNO) and assess the potential role of ultrasound in identifying those with active CNO.
Methods: Using a prospective case-series study design we assessed the sonographic features of 14 patients with a diagnosis of diabetes presenting with clinical signs and symptoms suspicious for active CNO. Patients had standard weight-bearing plain X-Ray and, where possible, MRI to evaluate the presence of active CNO.

This study aimed to examine the impact of early postoperative physical therapy combined with an educational program on wound recurrence and quality of life in patients with foot ulcers. Forty-eight postoperative patients with diabetic foot ulcers were randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which received both physical therapy and an educational program ( = 25), or a control group, which received physical therapy only ( = 23). Each intervention was initiated on the day after surgery in both groups.
