      Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the healthcare landscape. Advancing technologies such as large language models are providing new tools for educating clinicians, students, and individuals living with wounds. Wound care clinicians should be aware of the benefits of this new technology, how it is impacting, and could impact, wound care education, and current limitations to the technology and tools available. This article outlines broadly the current state of AI in healthcare and discusses the implications of this technology on wound care education as well as its current limitations.

Article points

1. Painful diabetic neuropathy is common in people with diabetes and is difficult to manage clinically.

2. Guidelines recommend amitriptyline, duloxetine, gabapentin or pregabalin as initial pain management options.

3. Patients often do not respond to monotherapy, so combination pharmacotherapy may be required.

Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most prevalent chronic complications in people living with diabetes and painful diabetic neuropathy is difficult to manage clinically. Guidelines recommend offering a choice of amitriptyline, duloxetine, gabapentin or pregabalin as initial treatment for neuropathic pain. It is recommended that pharmacotherapy is offered in a stepwise approach to ensure tolerability and effectiveness of individual medications. Patients often do not respond to monotherapy and, therefore, combination pharmacotherapy may be required. The aim of treatment is to improve quality of life for patients living with painful diabetic neuropathy by reducing pain and promoting increased participation in all aspects of daily living.

Abstract: With the continuous improvement of people's life quality, the demand of anti-aging is increasing. Stem cells are non-specialized cells which have the ability of self-renewal, multiple differentiation and paracrine secretion. It has been shown that stem cells have good application prospects in the field of trauma repair, tissue regeneration and anti-aging. This paper reviewed the progress of stem cell research in the field of anti-aging and promoting skin regeneration. The feasibility of rejuvenation technologies by stem cells was discussed from the point of view of autologous stem cell transplantation, activation of endogenous stem cells, and the effect and its mechanism of exogenous stem cell transplantation. It will provide reference for future development of related medical care and beauty products.
