Transepidermal water loss may predict wound recurrence for diabetic foot ulcers
Researchers identified a biomarker that may predict the recurrence of a diabetic foot ulcer that had previously healed. In a study published in Diabetes Care, researchers measured transepidermal water loss at the center of a diabetic foot ulcer wound 2 weeks after the wound closed. Transepidermal water loss was significantly higher among adults who had wound recurrence at 16 weeks compared with
