Are We Flying Blind? Largest Study Yet Shows Some Bedside Tests for PAD in Diabetes Are Barely Better Than a Coin Flip #DiabeticFoot #PAD #LimbPreservation #VascularMedicine @NormahaniP @AlunDavies @ImperialCollege #ActAgainstAmputation #Diagnostics - DF Blog

- This is the kind of study that should make every clinician who manages the diabetic foot sit up a little straighter. The DM PAD study — a prospective, multicentre diagnostic accuracy study across 16 NHS centres and 604 patients — just landed in Health Technology Assessment.

“Spooky Action at a Distance”: The Most Comprehensive Review Yet of Physiologic Neuromodulation for Limb Preservation #ActAgainstAmputation #Neuromodulation #SpinalCordStimulation #CLTI @BurnsTrauma @KeckSchool_USC @ResearchatUSC @USC - DF Blog

- Our new paper in Burns and Trauma presents the most comprehensive review yet of spooky action at a distance therapies for diabetic limb preservation — from spinal cord stimulation and splenic ultrasound to remote ischemic conditioning and tibial transport. Five modalities, three mechanistic pathways, one shared destination: tissue repair at a distance. Einstein famously derided quantum entanglement as "spukhafte Fernwirkung" — spooky action at a distance. He could not accept that measuring one particle could instantaneously influence another, no matter how far apart. The idea offended his sense of how the universe should work. We borrowed that phrase — and that productive skepticism — for what may Our new paper in Burns and Trauma presents the most comprehensive review yet of spooky action at a distance therapies for diabetic limb preservation — from spinal cord stimulation and splenic ultrasound to remote ischemic conditioning and tibial transport.

Your Phone Already Knows What You Can’t Feel: There’s an app for that…A Smartphone App for Detecting Diabetic Neuropathy #ActAgainstAmputation #DPN #DigitalHealth #Neuropathy @JDSTonline @Stanford @ALPSLimb - DF Blog

- A Stanford team demonstrates that a smartphone app measuring vibration perception thresholds can detect large-fiber sensory deficits in patients with diabetes — a potential advance for accessible, patient-operated neuropathy screening. We spend a lot of time in this space talking about the devices we strap on, implant in, and wrap around the diabetic foot. But what about the device already in your pocket?

Study: Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotic Therapy for Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis in an Uninsured and Underinsured Cohort @LimbsandLungs @ALPSlimb #ActAgainstAmputation - DF Blog

- This is a great addition from our SALSAmigo, Grady/Emory's ID supreme, Marcos Schechter. Background Diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO) is usually treated with prolonged outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT). Evaluation and treatment of nonantibiotic aspects of DFO (eg, peripheral artery disease) are also recommended. There are limited data regarding OPAT practice patterns and outcomes for DFO. Methods Single-center This is a great addition from our SALSAmigo, Grady/Emory's ID supreme, Marcos Schechter.
