Background: The primary endpoint in diabetes-related foot ulcer (DFU) trials is often time to healing, defined as complete re-epithelialisation with absence of drainage, requiring clinical expert assessment as the gold standard. Central blinded photograph review for confirmation of healing is increasingly being undertaken for internal validity. The Diabetic Foot Ulcer Photography study aims to determine the agreement between blinded independent review panel members for assessing ulcer healing status in patients with DFUs.

Objectives: To determine pressure beneath a cavesson noseband at five tightness levels during standing and chewing. It was hypothesised that increased noseband tightness is associated with increases in nasal and mandibular pressures while standing and chewing, accompanied by increases in eye temperature and blink rate.

Despite this acceptance, there is minimal information regarding the best practice of how to successfully establish systems to embed this practice into healthcare systems.
Methods: This evaluation used the RE-AIM implementation framework to retrospectively analyse data from a 3-year timeline to review the events relating to the transition of Consumer Partnering into a Clinical Governance Unit.
Article Synopsis
- Asynchronous optical sampling (ASOPS) is effectively used to measure terahertz (THz) bandwidth pulses in coplanar waveguides with integrated photoconductive switches for signal excitation and detection.
- The ASOPS technique shows high performance, able to capture full THz time-domain traces at up to 100 Hz, with a dynamic range that peaks at 40 dB for short measurements and increases to 88 dB for longer durations.
- This research paves the way for advancements in real-time video-rate imaging and THz sensing applications, demonstrating the capability of ASOPS to achieve sufficient dynamic range for future THz spectroscopy measurements.
