Acellular fish skin grafts in diabetic foot ulcer care: Advances and clinical insights.

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) represents a significant public health issue, with a rising global prevalence and severe potential complications including amputation. Traditional treatments often fall short due to various limitations such as high recurrence rates and extensive resource utilization. This editorial explores the innovative use of acellular fish skin grafts as a transformative approach in DFU management.

Link between periodontitis and diabetic retinopathy: Inflammatory pathways and clinical implications.

The bidirectional relationship between periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus has been well-established. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an important complication of diabetes, but there are few studies on the relationship between DR and periodontitis, especially on the intrinsic inflammatory pathway mechanism.

Application and management of continuous glucose monitoring in diabetic kidney disease.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus that contributes to the risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Wide glycemic var-iations, such as hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, are broadly found in diabetic patients with DKD and especially ESKD, as a result of impaired renal metabolism. It is essential to monitor glycemia for effective management of DKD.

Effects of Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists for Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Mineralocorticoid receptor blockade could be a potential approach for the inhibition of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. The benefits and harms of different mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) in CKD are inconsistent.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to summarize the benefits and harms of MRAs for CKD patients.

Excess selenium intake is associated with microalbuminuria in female but not in male among adults with obesity: Results from NHANES 2009-2018.

Introduction: Selenium is a critical trace element with antioxidant activities that has been related to the preservation of kidney function. Few studies, however, have looked at the effects of excess selenium on kidneys. The purpose of the present study was performed to investigate the relationship between dietary selenium intake and the prevalence of microalbuminuria in American adults with obesity.

Sustained dialysis with misplaced peritoneal dialysis catheter outside peritoneum: A case report.

Background: In patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD), catheter dysfunction is a common complication. A misplaced catheter is one of the reasons contributing to its dysfunction. The present study aimed to describe a case of misplaced PD catheter with an unusual location of the catheter tip.
