Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and pressure ulcers are both chronic, hard-to-heal #wounds that are driven by persistent inflammation and impaired tissue repair. #WoundHealingAwarenessMonth (1/2)
Let's talk about diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) in recognition of #WoundHealingAwarenessMonth.
DFUs arise from poor circulation and nerve damage in diabetic patients and frequently progress to severe tissue loss. (1/3)
They are the leading cause of non-traumatic amputation and account for most #diabetes-related hospitalizations, with a lifetime risk of ~25% and markedly reduced life expectancy.
There are approximately 1.6 million new cases of diabetic foot ulcers per year in the U.S. (2/3)
miR146a is a naturally occurring microRNA that acts as a brake on the bodyโs acute inflammatory response.

#WoundHealingAwarenessMonth: Pressure ulcers (bedsores) are caused by points of sustained pressure and friction in immobilized or bedridden patients.
Annually, ~ 2.5 million individuals are affected, incurring healthcare costs of ~$11 billion. (1/2)

Chronic #wounds affect around 6.5 million people and cost billions in healthcare expenses annually in the United States alone.
A wound is considered chronic if it doesn't heal within 4 to 12 weeks despite treatment. (1/2)

As National Critical Care Awareness and Recognition Month nears and end, we're raising awareness for two of the most commonly seen conditions in the ICU: #sepsis and acute #kidney injury (AKI). (1/2)
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (#ARDS) accounts for 10% of intensive care unit (#ICU) admissions with a median ICU length of stay of 25 days.

Ceria is working to take on these urgent challenges by targeting the root causes of inflammation in acute respiratory failure.
