The management of diabetic foot infections is a significant challenge in healthcare, often complicated by their polymicrobial nature and the rising incidence of antibiotic resistance.1 Traditional oral and intravenous antibiotics occasionally fail to deliver effective results due to poor penetration at the infection site, necessitating alternative strategies.

Postural and gait impairments, including toe walking, are extremely prevalent among individuals with Intellectual Disability and those who have ASD or are on the spectrum. Why this occurs in this population is not fully known. What we do know is that the tendency to hold a particular body position in an abnormal way causes stress on the joints, muscles and vertebrae column.

Postoperative complications can be difficult to manage in the field of surgery. Patient selection and optimization, along with limiting factors that may impair postoperative healing, and prioritizing practices that reduce postoperative infection rates, are crucial components for successful surgical outcomes.

SOURCE: Frontiers
The nursing profession is an essential part of the health care system, but faces significant challenges that threaten its stability, such as work-related stress, high staff turnover, and the complexity for newly graduated nurses in adapting to the workplace. These problems need to be urgently explored and addressed. Stress among nursing staff is a widespread phenomenon that affects not only the physical and mental health of professionals, but also the quality of the care they provide.
