An off-the-shelf instant contact casting device for the management of diabetic foot ulcers: a randomized prospective trial versus traditional fiberglass cast.
Alberto Piaggesi,Silvia Macchiarini,L. Rizzo,Francesca Palumbo,Anna Tedeschi,Laura Ambrosini Nobili,Elisa Leporati,Vincenzo Scire,Ilaria Teobaldi,Stefano Del Prato +9 more
TL;DR: The Optima Diab walker is as safe and effective as TCC in the management of DFU, but its lower costs and better applicability may be of help in spreading the practice of off-loading among the centers that manage the diabetic foot.
Semiquantitative Analysis of the Histopathological Features of the Neuropathic Foot Ulcer: Effects of pressure relief
Alberto Piaggesi,Paolo Viacava,L. Rizzo,Giuseppe Naccarato,F Baccetti,Marco Romanelli,Virna Zampa,Stefano Del Prato +7 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that pressure relief with a total contact cast is associated with changes in the histology of neuropathic foot ulcers, indicating reduction of inflammatory and reactive components and acceleration of reparative processes.

L. Rizzo,Anna Tedeschi,Eliana Fallani,Alberto Coppelli,Valerio Vallini,Elisabetta Iacopi,Alberto Piaggesi +6 more
TL;DR: The implementation of a structured follow-up with the use of orthesis and shoes can reduce the incidence of DFU in diabetic patients who are at high ulcerative risk and its related costs.

Increased Transcapillary Escape Rate of Albumin in Microalbuminuric Type II Diabetic Patients
TL;DR: Type II diabetic patients with microalbuminuria show an increased TERalb, i.e., a widespread microvascular damage that may be important in the pathogenesis of long-term complications, which may contribute to the explanation of why albuminuria seems to be an independent cardiovascular risk factor in type II diabetes.

Effectiveness and safety of a novel gel dressing in the management of neuropathic leg ulcers in diabetic patients: a prospective double-blind randomized trial.
Lorenza Abbruzzese,L. Rizzo,G. Fanelli,Anna Tedeschi,Alessia Scatena,Chiara Goretti,Silvia Macchiarini,Alberto Piaggesi +7 more
TL;DR: The authors tested if a novel gel formulation, containing amino acids and hyaluronic acid (Vulnamin® gel; Errekappa, Milan, Italy), will improve the outcomes of NLUs when used together with elastocompression, finding it safe and effective.
