I have concerns about a diabetic foot ulcer. The patient is a 53-year-old female with an ulceration on the superior surface of her foot that has become extensive due to skin debridement. There is an appearance of infection due to the presence of pus and fluid discharge. The patient is receiving medications to control her blood glucose level. What should be done to manage and treat this ulcer?

I've been experiencing stomach pain, indigestion, nausea, feeling full all the time, sudden hunger, gas, and night sweats for the past week. The symptoms worsened after taking Augmentin for tonsillitis and have not improved despite taking Pantoprazole and Tums. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

Is consuming 5 drinks in one sitting enough to trigger a positive result in a PETH test with a threshold of 20? If not, what is the impact of consuming 3 drinks once a week, or alternating between 2 and 3 drinks on the same day each week, on the PETH test results?

I’m having ear pain and neck pain when I move a certain way or when I yawn and after I eat and drink something. I’m a 30-year-old female and have been experiencing these symptoms on and off for 3 months. I’ve had an MRI of my TMJ and my head and neck area.

After eating, I often feel the need to clear my throat due to a sensation of mucus building up. This doesn't feel like heartburn, as I experience no chest discomfort, reflux, or burping. Is this just mucus production, or is there something more serious I should be concerned about?
