Abstract:
Wound dressings: ulcer dressings should create and maintain a moist environment on the ulcer surface. It has been shown that in an ulcer with a hard crust and desiccated bed, the healing process is significantly slowed and sometimes completely blocked so favouring infection, inflammation and pain. In contrast a moist environment promotes autolytic debridement, angiogenesis and the more rapid formation of granulation tissue, favours keratinocytes migration and accelerates healing of wounds. Apart from these common characteristics, wound dressings are completely different in other aspects and mu

Introduction: This is the first prospective study done locally to determine the effectiveness of vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy in the healing of chronic diabetic foot ulcers. Materials and Methods: An electronic vacuum pump was used to apply controlled negative pressure evenly across the wound surface. Changes in wound dimension, presence of wound granulation and infection status of diabetic foot ulcers in 11 consecutive patients with diabetes were followed over the course of VAC therapy. Results: Healing was achieved in all wounds. Nine wounds were closed by split-skin grafting and 2

Abstract:
BACKGROUND Chronic skin ulcers are a risk factor for the development of skin tumors. In patients with diabetes, chronic refractory ulcers may also contribute to higher susceptibility to skin tumors. Timely surgical removal of chronic and nonhealing diabetic foot ulcers can effectively prevent progression to squamous cell carcinoma. Such cases may be misdiagnosed owing to currently insufficient clinical evidence. However, in cases of chronic ulcer wounds, it is crucial to enhance clinical awareness regarding their potential progression into malignant lesions. CASE SUMMARY An 84-year-old male pa

Chronic wounds pose a substantial burden to healthcare systems, affected individuals and their personal support networks. In general, this condition presents as the inability of skin to heal, leaving patients with open wounds for extended periods of time. Such patients experience constant pain, reduced mobility, depression, social isolation and reduced quality-of-life. In addition, direct fiscal costs to the Australian healthcare system are estimated to be in excess of $2.6 billion annually and substantially higher in the United States and United Kingdom.

Diabetes is associated with major changes in the wound microenvironment and disruption of normal wound healing process, characterized by a prolonged inflammatory phase with elevated levels of wound proteases and increased degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components [1]. This impedes wound healing due to a lack of provisional matrix, impaired recruitment and survival of endothelial (EC) and endothelial precursor (EPC) cells, and insufficient neovascularization, resulting in delayed healing.

Abstract:
The incidence of large open wounds in the US is estimated to be about 5–7 million per year which results in a cost of greater than $20 billion for wound management [1]. Large open wounds occur due to burns, trauma, and secondary to surgical interventions, ulcers or pressure sores. The current clinical practice is to treat large open wounds by delayed primary closure where skin is stretched under constant tension to approximate wound edges by relying on the extensibility of the neighboring skin, by skin grafting or by managing the wound to heal by second intention. Delayed primary closure is in

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The aim of this study is to find whether there is concordance between two methods of wound area measurement: 3D photography and digital planimetry. Condition being studied: One of the most important factors in all types of wound management is wound measurement and two new digital techniques are : digital planimetry and 3D-photography. Eligibility criteria: the articles will be included only if the study cases would be measured by both methods of wound measurement including 3D photography and digital planimetry. patients with wound in any area of their body like dia
