College of Health and Medical Technologies, Southern Technical University discussed a master dissertation on the biochemical tests of diabetic patients associated with bacterial infections of the soft tissues of the foot by postgraduate student, Mrs. Dalia Ghazi Cliff Kaush.

The dissertation reviewed biochemical changes in diabetic foot patients to reveal the causes of foot infection or ulcers via isolating the bacterial causes of diabetic foot infection and determining antibiotic sensitivity and resistance to bacterial isolates.

The dissertation recommended that low-risk patients should continue annual foot examinations, which may develop into medium or high risk and the importance of foot care and blood sugar control for individuals considered to be at medium or high risk, as well as those suffering from peripheral vascular disease or foot deformity.
