The role of chloramines in treatment of diabetic foot ulcers: an exploratory multicentre randomised controlled trial.

Background: Chronic foot ulcers in diabetes are serious, costly and frequently difficult to heal. Recent guidelines conclude that new dressings and treatments generally fail to show superiority compared with standard of care. Several mechanisms are probably responsible for impaired healing of chronic foot ulcers, including inflammation and infection.

A study on variances in multivariate analyses of oral implant outcome.

Background: Elaborate studies have shown that interdependency exists between implants being placed in the same patient/jaw. Therefore, interdependency ought to be an important aspect to address, whenever performing statistical analyses of oral implant outcomes. A Jackknife method could be an option when conducting statistical evaluations of oral implant failure prognoses.

Evaluation of patient and implant characteristics as potential prognostic factors for oral implant failures.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate patient, implant, and treatment characteristics to identify possible prognostic factors for implant failure.

Materials And Methods: Out of a database with different dental implant treatment protocols, a research database of 1 randomly selected implant per patient was created. The database consisted of 487 implants.
