AI Article Synopsis

  • A retrospective study evaluated the role of noninvasive blood flow studies in diabetic patients before elective foot surgery.
  • Thirty diabetic patients were tested, focusing on their blood flow.
  • Results showed that 87% of patients with ankle/brachial indices above 0.6 healed successfully post-surgery.

Article Abstract

A retrospective study was undertaken to determine the importance of performing noninvasive blood flow studies on the diabetic patient population prior to undergoing elective foot surgery. Thirty diabetic patients, contemplating elective foot surgery, underwent noninvasive blood flow studies. Eighty-seven percent of these patients, with ankle/brachial indices greater than 0.6, successfully healed after surgery was performed.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a type of hemorrhagic stroke with high morbidity, mortality and disability, and early brain injury (EBI) after SAH is crucial for prognosis. Recently, stem cell therapy has garnered significant attention in the treatment of neurological diseases. Compared to other stem cells, dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) possess several advantages, including abundant sources, absence of ethical concerns, non-invasive procurement, non-tumorigenic history and neuroprotective potential.
