Chronic diabetic ulcers remain one of the most stubborn and devastating complications of diabetes, and many patients face years of pain as poor circulation and chronic inflammation prevent wounds from closing. More than 40 million people in the United States
Cancer surgery often hinges on a difficult decision. Surgeons must determine which lymph nodes are likely to contain cancer and which should be preserved to avoid long term complications. Existing imaging tools can show where lymph fluid drains, but they
