Boyd al. now reveal that a diet enriched in ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) triggers peripheral neuropathy in mice, and this effect is reversed by a diet enriched in ω-3 PUFAs. These findings may help
Foot ulcers.These slow-healing sores can affect anyone with peripheral neuropathy. But they are a particular problem for people with diabetes, who often have foot and leg numbness and aren’t aware that they have a wound or irritation. Making things worse, high blood pressure from diabetes redu...
Our aim in this study was to investigate the association between diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and above-normal blood pressure in nonhypertensive adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We also compared achievement of clinical targets for DPN and non-DPN with T2DM.A ...
What is peripheral neuropathy (PN)?PN is a type of nerve damage that can develop when your peripheral nerves are damaged. Peripheral nerves are located outside of the brain and spinal cord. These nerves send information from your brain and spinal cord to the rest of your body. Damage to ...

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is length-dependent peripheral nerve damage arising as a complication of type 1 or type 2 diabetes in up to 50% of patients. DPN poses a substantial burden on patients, who can experience impaired gait and loss of bal
Neuropathy leads to sensory loss and increased risk of fall. Here, the authors design a wearable non-invasive neuroprosthesis that restores lost sensations and improves gait. Noemi Gozzi , Lauren Chee & Stanisa Raspopovic Article 04 December 2024 | Open Access Decoding the molecular, cellular...
In comparison, the Doppler-based ABI showed a sensitivity of 83% for controls, 100% for diabetic patients without peripheral neuropathy, and 53% for diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy when using an ABI <0.9 or ABI >1.15 as the limit. The correspondent numbers for the specificity were...
