UTRGV Podiatric Clinic Combats Diabetic Foot Complications
Doctors at the UTRGV Podiatric Clinic in Harlingen say the goal is simple: keep patients healthy and active and out of the operating room. The podiatric clinic in Harlingen opened about three years ago and treats patients from across the Rio Grande Valley. "We are constantly educating them in their office visits about how to better take care of their feet, how to keep them walking longer, and how to keep them healthy," podiatrist Tyreen Heybeck, DPM said.
 |
|
Dr. Tyreen Heybeck |
"Diabetes is one of the main reasons why the school was founded in the Valley and why the clinic was opened," Dr. Heybeck said. One common condition treated at the clinic is peripheral neuropathy, which is when patients lose sensation in their feet because of damaged nerves caused by high glucose levels. Heybeck says daily habits can help prevent complications. She recommends using a mirror to check your feet, wearing white socks to spot bleeding, and avoiding walking barefoot.

IL Podiatrist Stresses the Importance of Proper Foot Hygiene
Just like the rest of your body, your feet require proper hygiene. This starts with giving your feet some room to breathe. According to Regan Bond, DPM, closed-toe shoes create an ideal environment for fungus, bacteria, and mold to grow. This overgrowth can lead to uncomfortable symptoms, including itching, burning, cracking, peeling, blisters, foul odors, and changes in skin color and texture. Additionally, fungus can begin in or spread to the toenails, causing thickening, yellowing, brittleness, and separation from the nail bed.
 |
|
Dr. Regan Bond |
Dr. Bond adds that regularly trimming your toenails is another essential part of foot care that shouldn’t be overlooked. Allowing them to grow too long can lead to ingrown toenails, pain when wearing shoes, and serious complications like bone damage. Finally, be sure to wash your feet with soap and water daily and then pat them dry before putting on socks.

| PODIATRIC RESIDENTS IN THE NEWS | |
NJ Podiatrist to Compete in The Miss America Pageant
Balancing a demanding podiatric surgical residency with community advocacy and statewide competition is no small feat. For Mattie Mae Krause, DPM, purpose is the common thread connecting every role she takes on—from the hospital floor to the Miss New Jersey stage. Krause, a first-year foot and ankle surgical resident at Hoboken University Hospital, was crowned Miss Ramapo Valley last fall as part of the Miss America Organization. This June, she will compete for the title of Miss New Jersey, bringing a distinctive blend of medical training, ballroom dance, and a service-driven platform focused on therapy and service animals.

|
Dr. Mattie Krause |
“I’ve always believed that service looks different for everyone,” Dr. Krause says. “For me, it’s medicine, education, and animals—and finding ways they can all work together. My residency has been incredibly supportive,” she explains. “Medicine always comes first, but they understand how meaningful this work is to me and how closely it connects to patient care.” At the center of Krause’s advocacy work is The Healing Paws Network, a non-profit she founded to expand education and access related to therapy and service animals in schools, hospitals, and community settings.

| PRACTICE MANAGEMENT TIP OF THE DAY | |
8 red flags that signal your billing is leaving money on the table
From clean claim rates to contract negotiations, these warning signs could mean your practice is leaving thousands in revenue uncollected.
4. You are writing off small balances without a policy
Small-balance write-offs feel like a time-saver but can add up to significant revenue loss over a year. A $12 balance written off daily across a busy practice is more than $4,000 annually before accounting for panel size. Establish a written small-balance policy with a defined threshold and approval process, and review write-off totals quarterly.

| FINANCIAL TIP OF THE DAY | |
What Are Your Chances of an IRS Audit? 15 Audit Red Flags
These red flags could increase your chances of the IRS selecting your return for audit.
6. Taking large charitable deductions
We all know that charitable contributions are a great write-off and help you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. However, if your charitable deductions are disproportionately large compared with your income, it raises a red flag. That's because the IRS knows what the average charitable donation is for folks at your income level. Also, if you don't get an appraisal for donations of valuable property, or if you fail to file IRS Form 8283 for non-cash donations over $500, you become an even bigger audit target.
And if you've donated a conservation or façade easement to charity, or if you are an investor in a partnership, LLC or trust that made such a donation, your chances of hearing from the IRS rise exponentially. Battling abusive syndicated conservation easement deals is a strategic enforcement priority of the tax agency. Congress has even recently stepped in to disallow charitable deductions in the most egregious conservation easement cases.

| RESPONSES/COMMENTS (PODIATRIC RESEARCH) | |
From: Peter Sorensen, DPM
I'd like to add my perspective as a resident involved in current research. I coordinate research for the 12 residents at our program. We have about ten current projects. I agree that the administrative burden is a lot when in residency, but what we have found to be our biggest challenge as residents is a lack of longitudinal data sets. I have finished up projects that residents started five years ago. Once they begin practice, the residency research project gets put on the shelf to hopefully be taken up by a younger resident class. I have started a prospective study here with an attending as Primary Investigator. IRB approval took 8 months. Enrollment will take another year, then an additional six months for post-op data collection. I'll be fresh into practice when it's time to wrap this up - who knows if I'll be able to finish it up?
Many podiatry residents are not just willing to do research, we are eager to do so! We CAN find the time. We just don't always have data for the projects we are actually interested in. So what's the solution? Enter the National Foot and Ankle Registry (NFAR). Fairly recently, ACFAS launched it. It is a data registry for foot and ankle surgeons with modules currently covering ankle arthritis, ankle fracture, hammertoe, and hallux valgus; standardized outcomes, PROs, complications, length of stay, etc. The goal is to have structured data that actually allows meaningful comparison across sites. Some regions are subsidizing first-year fees to help new sites to get started. I think this is a HUGE step towards real, impactful research being published in our field. The infrastructure has been built; now we need mass participation. Please go check it out and consider participating! Current and future residents will thank you for it.
