OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the rate of reduction of the surface area of neuropathic plantar ulcers in diabetic patients treated with nonremovable rigidity-differentiated fiberglass off-bearing casts or a cloth shoe with a rigid sole with unloading alkaform insoles. The secondary aim was to evaluate the side effects and degree of patient acceptance of treatment. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METH...

The results of earlier studies by my team of researchers demonstrated the wide spectrum of in vivo gastro-protective effects of the methanol extract of Cassia singueana leaves (MECSL) in rats. The crude extract exhibited profound potency against experimentally-induced ulcerative lesions in various gastric ulcer induction models (pyloric ligation/histamine, indomethacin and ethanol-mediated stom...
