VIEW, EarlyView.
Studies attempting to predict the healing outcome of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) have investigated various biological materials and recovered molecules that may aid in discriminating wounds that will heal and those that will not heal. This graphical abstract captures the commonly studied classes of biomarkers in the context of DFUs.

Assessing the Burden of Operatively Managed Extremity Fractures in Malawi: A Tale of Two Tertiary Hospitals

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) account for 90% of all deaths from injury globally, yet health systems remain poorly equipped to manage the escalating trauma burden. This study highlights a critical and escalating operative trauma burden in Malawi, driven largely by road traffic injuries, particularly motorcycle taxis.

Lower Limb Amputations Among Individuals Living With Diabetes Mellitus in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Diabetes‐related lower‐limb amputation (LLA) is a major global health problem; although rates have declined in some high‐income settings, the burden in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) has not been systematically quantified. This review aimed to estimate the prevalence and incidence of diabetes‐related LLA in LMICs, based on available published
