Objective: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) and related amputation significantly contribute to morbidity rates. The objective of this study was to assess the risk factors correlated with amputation in Chinese patients with DFU.
Methods: A prospective study was implemented on DFU patients at Third Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from February 2016 to May 2024. Patients were categorized into two groups based on whether they underwent amputation: the amputation group (n = 33) and the non-amputation group (n = 29). A comparative analysis was conducted between two groups, focusing on demographic data, disease characteristics, and laboratory indicators. Binary and multivariate logistic regressions were employed to evaluate the risk factors associated with amputation. Receiver Operating Characteristic curve analysis was used to assess the risk factors in predicting amputation in patients with DFU.
Results: The incidence of history of amputation, duration of diabetes in the amputation group were significantly increased compared to the non-amputation group ( < 0.05). On the contrary, the red blood cell count, hemoglobin level, and hematocrit in the amputation group were significantly lower compared to the non-amputation group ( < 0.05). Moreover, in the bi-variable logistic regression analysis, the duration of diabetes, duration of DFU, history of amputation, and hemoglobin levels were significantly associated with amputation ( < 0.05). After controlling potential confounding factors in multiple logistic regression analysis, duration of DFU was identified as a determining factor for amputation ( < 0.05). Additionally, the values for the area under curve (AUC) in relation to the duration of diabetes, duration of DFU, history of amputation, and a combined panel in predicting the occurrence of amputation in patients with DFU were 0.890, 0.868, 0.730, and 0.916, respectively.
Conclusion: Our findings indicate that duration of DFU is an independent risk factor for amputation in patients with DFU.

Objective: To develop and validate a nomogram model for predicting central venous catheter-related infections (CRI) in patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).
Methods: MHD patients with central venous catheters (CVCs) visiting the outpatient hemodialysis (HD) center of Xuzhou Medical University Affiliated Hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 were retrospectively selected through a HD monitoring system. Patient data were collected, and the patients were divided into training and validation sets in a 7:3 ratio.

Objective: Asthma poses a significant health burden in South Asia, with increasing incidence and mortality despite a global decline in age-standardized prevalence rates. This study aims to analyze asthma trends from 1990 to 2021, focusing on prevalence, incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) across South Asia. The study also assesses the impact of risk factors like high body mass index (BMI), smoking, and occupational exposures on asthma outcomes.

Sedentary lifestyles and prolonged physical inactivity are often linked to poor mental and physical health as well as an increased risk of a number of chronic illnesses, including cancer, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular problems. Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), as the new disease, has emerged as the world's leading cause of illness. Despite having its roots in the West, this issue has now completely globalized due to the development of the Western way of life throughout the world.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of preoperative intravenous mannitol on the capsulorhexis process and intraoperative complications in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).
Methods: In this prospective randomized controlled trial, 65 PACG eyes were randomized into the mannitol and control groups. The capsulorhexis duration, number of forceps grasps, need for viscoelastic re-injection, and intraoperative complications were recorded.
