New method to treat diabetic foot ulcers revealed by Biocomposites Ltd
Labiotech
Usually, systemic antibiotics are routinely given to those with diabetes who are susceptible to infected foot ulcers. Unfortunately, effective treatment can be disrupted by complications by using this treatment due to allergic reactions, antibiotic-resistant organisms, the risk of clostridium difficile and possible organ toxicity.

Materials, design, & electronics combine to defend against diabetes
Design News
Wearable technologies have been used for all kinds of purposes, including energy harvesting and health monitoring. They usually combine sensors and other electronics with app-based data collection, sometimes enhanced by flexible electronic fabrics.
For example, Sensoria Health develops smart healthcare footwear and clothing, along with cloud-based remote patient monitoring electronics and software. These wearables collect data on the physical activity of gait-impaired patients.

Magnetic resonance imaging can reliably establish measurements for ACL footprint
News Medical Life Sciences
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can reliably establish measurements for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) "footprints" that are critical to the placement of grafts for reconstruction surgery, UT Southwestern researchers report.
Jay P. Shah, M.D., Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at UTSW, and his colleagues used 2- and 3-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine these measurements, an approach that had not been explored previously. Their study was published in European Radiology.

Recovery from an unexpected standing-slip in professional ballet dancers
Journal of Biomechanics via ScienceDirect
Although interventional studies have suggested that dance-based training may reduce fall risk for older adults based on unperturbed assessments, it remains unknown whether dance (particularly ballet) enhances recovery from an external perturbation. This preliminary study sought to test if and how ballet dancers respond differently to a novel standing-slip perturbation relative to non-dancers.
