my interest is metabolic health in wound healing
see the below poster and work we did in our clinic
LIVE PRESENTATION -
Low-Carb, High-Protein Nutritional Approach in Wound In Healing: Real World Outcomes with Platform- Based Tracking and High- Touch Patient Empowering Techniques
Symposium for metabolic health conference poster on wound healing and metabolic health.
What is important in healthcare is communication, and with the platform based on high touch tools, techniques, and process. we were able to better connect with patients and empower them.
It’s is a continuous process of implementing improvement.
@kamepalli This is interesting research. I have seen similar research in the area of Pediatric Neurology and more recently suggestive research on Alzheimers and Stroke, where it is suggested that low carb/keto diets are beneficial.
What do you think the causal graph looks like? Does carbohydrate restriction decrease blood glucose, which causes some state of ketosis, which triggers autophagy? Or is it centered on less carbs → less inflammation?
I also find this topic very interesting and have seen similar concepts applied to diabetes and certain types of kidney disease (wound healing overlays). Seems more readily adopted by healthcare providers outside of the US. Using technology to support the high touch care, provide positive reinforcement, and necessary patient support seems key — I’d be interested to see data on predicting patient success. For most people, it’s not easy to maintain a diet that keeps you in ketosis or near. What factors impact a patient’s success with a healing protocol inclusive of this strategy? I see a huge benefit to the empowerment that comes with giving patients control over their outcomes, whenever possible.
Thank you, Ravi! I think you’re hitting on the great importance of overall health that contributes to chronic diseases such as wounds. There’s also really great data out there that shows that the gut microbiome can affect higher levels of inflammation that can lead to chronic disease or contribute to the burden of chronic disease. What are your thoughts on repairing the gut micro biome to help wound care patients?
