Abstract
Purpose: To systematically review the value of serum inflammatory markers to diagnose diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO). Study selection: Studies to diagnose DFO using biomarkers erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), interleukins (IL-2, IL-6, IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor alfa (TNF) were retrieved from EMBASE and PubMed with no language restrictions through July 2014. Data extraction: We summarized clinical characteristics of the studies and used bivariate random effects models and summary receiver operating characteristic curves to estimate sensitivity and specificity for each marker. Data synthesis: A total of 8 qualifying studies were included in our meta-analysis. Bivariate pooled sensitivity and specificity of the 6 studies examining ESR were 0.81 (95% CI 0.71-0.88) and 0.90 (95% CI 0.75-0.96) respectively. Due to the paucity of data, models did not converge for the other biomarkers. Conclusions: From the inflammatory markers, ESR appears to be the best laboratory test to identify patients with DFO.
Keywords: Diabetic foot, osteomyelitis, biomarkers, diabetic foot infection, diagnosis, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, c-reactive protein, procalcitonin.

Advancing Diabetic Wound Healing: Mechanisms and Interventions
In recent years, diabetic wounds have become a global health concern with the increase in the incidence of diabetes. Diabetic wounds are a kind of chronic and refractory ulcer. It is generally due to the microcirculatory disturbances and the reduced levels of endogenous growth factors. Delayed cutaneous wound healing is ...read more
Oxidative and inflammatory responses in the development of secondary diabetic complications
Diabetes, along with its associated secondary complications, represents a significant global health challenge, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, reduced physical activity, environmental pollutants, and stress are pivotal factors in the onset of diabetes, particularly type-2 diabetes. Poorly managed hyperglycemia can lead to various complications, including neuropathy, ...read more
