Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a growing health problem worldwide that places patients at increased risk of morbidity and mortality from microvascular and macrovascular complications. Research suggests that a patient-centered approach which focuses on patient-physician communication and collaboration in the management of chronic diseases such as diabetes may improve clinical outcomes in a glycemic parameter such as HbA1c. We measured the degree of this patient-centered approach in a sample population of subjects with Type 2 Diabetes in Jamaica with the use of the Patient Assessment of Care for Chronic Illness (PACIC) questionnaire and assessed the relationship between patient-centered care …

Reliable measures of wound size are critical to wound healing research and clinical management. Measurement of full-thickness wounds is increasingly being done using digital images and photogrammetric software, such as VeVMD (Vista Medical, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada), to estimate wound volume. The reliability of VeVMD in determining wound volume is unknown. The present study sought to examine the reliability of wound volume measurements obtained using VeVMD.
