"Are you considering making homemade pasta? Here are some quick tips to perfect your craft:
Start with the best! Use high-quality flour and fresh eggs for a delectable dough.
Pasta-making is a science! Measure your ingredients accurately for the perfect texture.
Take your time kneading the dough. It's the secret to that irresistible chewiness.
Don't be shy with the flour! Dust generously to prevent sticking during rolling and cutting.
Use a sharp knife or pasta cutter for clean edges and uniform shapes, whether fettuccine or ravioli.
Add variety by incorporating herbs, spinach, or beetroot into your dough for a colorful and flavorful twist.
Pair your homemade pasta with the proper sauce. Delicate noodles love light olive oil sauces, while hearty ragù complements thicker shapes.
Keep an eye on cooking time! Homemade pasta cooks faster than store-bought, so test for that perfect al dente texture.

Embrace imperfections, savor the process, and finally, enjoy the fruits of your labor! Buon appetito!"

Las heridas crónicas son un problema de salud creciente en los Estados Unidos, particularmente entre los ancianos, los diabéticos y aquellos que sufren de otras enfermedades crónicas.

• Se estima que 6.5 millones de estadounidenses sufren de úlceras crónicas, ~ 2% de la población total de los Estados Unidos.

• Las heridas crónicas afectan a casi el 7.2% de los beneficiarios de Medicare, aproximadamente 4 millones en los Estados Unidos. La inclusión de las infecciones relacionadas con heridas aumenta las afectadas al 15%, aproximadamente 8.2 millones en los Estados Unidos.

• Los diabéticos, aproximadamente 30.3 millones en los Estados Unidos, tienen un mayor riesgo de desarrollar una herida crónica, especialmente úlceras en las extremidades inferiores. Se estima que el riesgo de desarrollar úlceras en las extremidades inferiores en los diabéticos oscila entre el 15% y el 25%. Se informa que la mayoría de las amputaciones diabéticas de extremidades inferiores están precedidas (hasta un 85%) por una úlcera de mala cicatrización.

• Alrededor del 50% de los pacientes sometidos a amputaciones no traumáticas de miembros inferiores tienen diabetes. Estos pacientes tienen una alta mortalidad después de la amputación, que oscila entre el 39% y el 80% a los 5 años. El tratamiento temprano y apropiado de las úlceras es clave para evitar la amputación.

• Casi 1 de cada 5 estadounidenses sufre de una forma de enfermedad vascular. Las úlceras en los pies y las piernas a menudo son el resultado de una afección cardíaca o vascular. La EAP (enfermedad arterial periférica) contribuye al 10% - 30% de todas las úlceras de las extremidades inferiores.

No sigas sufriendo de una herida crónica, especialmente si eres parte de una población más vulnerable. Llame a WALKS Wound Centers hoy al 773-696-9490 o al 312-243-3769 para hacer una cita.

Chronic wounds are an increasing health problem in the United States, particularly among the elderly, diabetics, and those suffering from other chronic diseases.

•An estimated 6.5 million Americans suffer from chronic ulcers, ~2% of the total US population

•Chronic wounds impact nearly 7.2% of Medicare beneficiaries, approximately 4 million in the US. Including wound related infections increases those impacted to 15%, approximately 8.2 million in the US.

•Diabetics, approximately 30.3 million in the US, are at greater risk of developing a chronic wound, especially lower extremity ulcers. The risk of developing lower extremity ulcers in diabetics is estimated to be anywhere from 15% to 25%. Most diabetic lower extremity amputations are reported to be preceded (up to 85%) by a poor healing ulcer.

•About 50% of patients undergoing non-traumatic lower-limb amputations have diabetes. These patients have a high mortality following amputation, ranging from 39% to 80% at 5 years. Treating ulcers early and appropriately is key to avoiding amputation.

•Nearly 1 in 5 Americans suffer from a form of vascular disease. Foot and leg ulcers are often the result of a heart or vascular condition. PAD (peripheral arterial disease) contributes to 10% - 30% of all lower extremity ulcers.

Don’t continue to suffer from a chronic wound, especially if you are part of a more vulnerable population. Call WALKS Wound Centers today at 773-696-9490 or 312-243-3769 to make an appointment.
