More effective prevention of diabetic feet

Dr. med. dent. Hans-Helmut Schmidt has developed a device that enables the effective and hygienic treatment of patients with diabetic foot syndrome (DFS). The new device, known as DIAPEDES®, enables diabetic feet to be treated in a closed foot-shaped container under definite clinical conditions. Schmidt hopes to be able to commercialise the patented device in the not-too-distant future.

Disease prevention through better diagnostics

“Classical treatment approaches are not the only way to ensure good health, rehabilitation and care. In fact, it is envisaged that more effective prevention will contribute to halting the development of diseases and maintaining good health. Prevention is designed to prevent health risks and diseases, make them less likely and delay their onset.” (Declaration of the German government; Official Records of Parliament 17/845, 26th February 2010)

Parameters that help advance biogas

There is a binding EU-wide target to source 20 per cent of each country’s energy needs, as stipulated in the Kyoto Protocol, from renewable sources by 2020. The EU research project SEBE (Sustainable and Innovative European Biogas Environment) is investigating the conditions that are required to push biogas technology forward. One of the 14 SEBE partners is the Institute for Sanitary Engineering, Water Quality and Solid Waste Management (ISWA) at the University of Stuttgart.
