Shockwave therapy for chronic Achilles tendinopathy: a double-blind, randomized clinical trial of efficacy.
TLDR
Extracorporal shock-wave therapy appears to be a supplement for the treatment of chronic Achilles tendinopathy.Abstract:
Background and purpose Chronic Achilles tendinopathy is a painful condition and there are often unsatisfactory results with conservative treatment. Extracorporal shock-wave therapy (ESWT) has been ...read more

Analysis of serial measurements in medical research.
TL;DR: Use of summary measures to analyse serial measurements, though not new, is potentially a useful and simple tool in medical research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of serial measurements in medical research.
TL;DR: It should be remembered that marine bacteria comprise a wide range of organisms, and many are resistant to common antibiotics and also may require saline media for culture, so debridement should be assisted by washing the wound well with fresh or preferably sterile water.
