Health Rounds: Sound waves promote healing of diabetic foot ulcers

I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.
A study reveals that extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) significantly enhances healing in diabetic foot ulcers, with patients nearly three times more likely to heal when ESWT is added to standard care. Additionally, a report confirms that viral infections, including influenza and COVID-19, increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, with risks persisting for years post-infection. Preventive measures, particularly vaccinations, are emphasized to mitigate these cardiovascular risks.
