Introduction To assess the efficacy of a chitosan-based gel (ChitoCare) for treatment non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Research design and methods Forty-two patients with chronic DFUs were randomized to ChitoCare or placebo 10-week period 4-week follow-up. The primary study end point was rate complete wound closure at week 10, presented as relative rate. Results Thirty completed 28 arm achieved 16.7% 10 vs 4.2% in (p=0.297), 92.0% 37.0% median reduction surface area from baseline...
Abstract Anticholinergic burden has been widely studied in specific patient populations with conditions. However, the prevalence general population is poorly understood. This retrospective cross-sectional study was a nationwide database analysis of outpatient prescriptions anticholinergic medications.
