“An Intent to Deceive”
Dear Colleagues Many of you will have read various threads over the last few years about my little adventure with the health regulator in the UK that oversees the podiatric profession – the Health and Care Professions Council. This little drama with the authorities has been played out in in several courts in London and Lancashire and has unravelled into quite an extraordinary story. You will be aware that the legal proceedings are now complete and only the verdict remains to be delivered – sometime in the next few weeks. Continue reading

Reporting standards of studies and papers on the prevention and management of foot ulcers in diabetes: required details and markers of good quality William J Jeffcoate, Sicco A Bus, Frances L Game, Robert J Hinchliffe, Patricia E Price, Nicolaas C Schaper, on behalf of the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot and the European Wound Management Association Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2016; Published Online; May 10, 2016 (full text) Quote: The evidence base for many aspects of the management of foot ulcers in people with diabetes is weak, and goodquality research, especially relating to studies of direct relevance to routine clinical care, is needed. In this paper, we summarise the core details required in the planning and reporting of intervention studies in the prevention and management of diabetic foot ulcers, including studies that focus on off -loading, stimulation of wound healing, peripheral artery disease, and infection. We highlight aspects of trial design, conduct, and reporting that should be taken into account to minimise bias and improve quality. Continue reading

Early walking in toddlers linked to stronger bones
Press Release: Early walking in toddlers linked to stronger bones Results can help prevent fractures and osteoporosis Quote: CHILDREN who start to walk and jump earlier are more likely to have stronger bones later on in life, research shows. A study, published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, has demonstrated an association between children?s abilities in common movements like jumping, running and walking at 18 months and stronger bones as an adolescent. It is thought that these movements in toddlers place a stress on the bones, causing them to react by becoming wider and thicker, thereby making them stronger than those in children who may not be moving as much Continue reading
Plantar Fasciitis Has Very Little To Do With Your Foot
Have a read of this: Plantar Fasciitis Has Very Little To Do With Your Foot from a massage therapist It has been shared a lot recently in several plantar fasciitis support groups and showing their gullibility by lapping it up and falling for it. What do you think? How many statements can you count that are directly contradicted by the scientific evidence (HINT: I gave up counting) If loons are going to advocate these types of approaches, they really going to need to produce some evidence to back up their claims.
