Article Synopsis
- - Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a significant and expensive issue for diabetes patients, leading to increased healthcare costs and morbidity.
- - A study compared two treatments for DFUs: a high-purity type-I collagen skin substitute (HPTC) and dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane (dHACM) over four weeks, with 28 patients participating.
- - Results showed that HPTC led to better healing outcomes, with 85.71% of patients achieving at least 50% wound size reduction compared to 50% for dHACM, suggesting HPTC may be a more effective treatment for chronic DFUs.
Thyroid abscess is a rare occurrence and is characterized by an accumulation of pus within the thyroid gland. It most commonly forms as a sequela of acute suppurative thyroiditis, and it presents as a painful swelling of the anterior neck with fever. Patients may also develop referred ear pain and compressive symptoms such as difficulty breathing and swallowing as the abscess enlarges.

It is argued that extant cross-cultural research on animal welfare often overlooks or gives insufficient attention to new governance theory, civil society, politics, and the realities of devolved or (quasi-)federal, multi-level governance in the modern state. This paper synthesizes relevant social theory and draws on new empirical findings of civil society accounts of campaigning on animal welfare policies and law in the United Kingdom. It is presented as a corrective to arguably reductive, earlier unitary state-based analyses.
