Abstract:

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a common and severe adverse event associated with diabetes, as 25% of diabetic patients will experience DFUs. The lack of effective DFU therapies results in 20% of diabetic patients requiring amputation. We first developed an algorithm to account for polydispersity when calculating nanoparticle concentration, which will reduce variability between batches and treatments. We also developed a novel 2-layer biomaterial, which combines anti-microbial properties of CLKRS peptide coated silver nanoparticles (CLKRS- AgNPs) with a pro-regenerative collagen matrix embedde

Abstract:

Non-healing wounds represent a significant burden to healthcare systems and societies worldwide. Current best practice treatments of chronic wounds can require patients to undergo extensive periods of therapy without any positive outcome. This consumes substantial healthcare resources and severely impacts patient quality of life. At present, there are no measures to predict a patient's response to best practice care. The hypothesis of this thesis was that biochemical markers could be found within the wound fluid of chronic ulcers and these markers could predict the healing outcome of an ulcer

Abstract:

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.

Tendo em vista que a pele é considerada o maior órgão do corpo humano, assim como ocorre com os demais órgãos, pode sofrer disfunção quando a pessoa está em fase final de vida.

Abstract:

People with diabetes have an increased risk of developing several serious health problems. One of the most frequent complication is an impaired wound healing. Neutrophils are recruited early to the wound bed and, upon activation, they undergo histone citrullination by protein arginine deiminase (PAD)4, exocytosis of chromatin and enzymes as neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), and death. This process is called NETosis. In diabetes, neutrophils are primed to release NETs and die by NETosis. Although this process is a defense against infection, excessive NETosis can damage tissue.

A complex statistical methodology was developed to analyse wound proteomic mass spectrometry data. This approach identified a suite of significant and clinically relevant protein targets.

Abstract:

A leg ulcer is a chronic wound of the skin that, at best, takes many months to fully heal and causes great distress to the patient. Treating leg ulcers places a large financial burden upon the National Health Service in the United Kingdom, estimated to be in excess of £300M annually. Measurement of the size of leg ulcers is a guide to assessing the progress of wound healing, and the use of non-invasive measurement techniques avoids damaging or infecting the wound. The area of a leg ulcer is currently measured by presenting a human observer with a captured video image of a wound, who then uses

Next generation sequencing was used to determine the impact of bacterial diversity on healing and non-healing DFUs.

For healing DFUs, bacterial species were identified that could be further investigated for their probiotic potential to promote wound healing.

Abstract:

Chronic non-healing foot ulcers are a major complication of diabetes, occurring in 25% of patients within their lifetime. A common feature that underpins poor wound healing in diabetes is inadequate vascularisation due to diabetes-impaired angiogenesis. Currently there are no adequate biomarkers and effective therapies that improve diabetes-impaired healing. The ability to better identify and treat these wounds would reduce the risk of developing co-morbidities such as lower limb amputations. microRNAs (miRNAs) have been indicated to be reliable biomarkers and have been shown to be dysregulat

This delayed healing is thought to be attributable to a variety of factors including micro- and macrovascular disease, neuropathy, bacterial infection, local pressure due to foot deformity and the adverse local metabolic environment caused by diabetes.

It is expected that these results will support changes to the reimbursement structure to increase access to guideline-based care for venous leg ulcers in Australia.

Genom att beskriva omvårdnadspersonalens erfarenheter kan utmaningar och problem synliggöras och detta kan ge möjligheter till att förbättra situationen för alla inblandade. Syfte: Att beskriva omvårdnadspersonalens erfarenheter av sårbehandling och att vårda patienter med sår. Metod: En litteraturstudie innehållandes 8 artiklar med kvalitativ ansats. Artiklarna granskades, anal

Abstract:

Background: Chronic wounds are a significant health problem in various populations. Psychosocial stress is a lifestyle factor that has been shown to directly influence wound healing. Current findings support roles for assessment and reduction of psychosocial stress in the comprehensive management of chronic wounds, however, a gap remains between current research and current clinical practice. Purpose: To develop a novel method by which to educate nurses about the effects of psychosocial stress on wound healing while incorporating state-of-the-art technology that is sensitive to the needs of in

Abstract:

Chronic leg ulcers are a major health problem that affect 1-3% of adults over 65 and are a financial burden on healthcare systems worldwide. In this study biochemical assays were performed on sequential samples collected from both healing and non-healing ulcers. The results demonstrated that inflammatory resolution was necessary for ulcers to heal. Interestingly, in healing ulcers, proteins associated with dampening inflammation did not change over time whilst those keeping the wound in an inflammatory state decreased, suggesting an alternative mechanism for resolution of inflammation.

Abstract:

Chronic ulcers are an important and costly medical issue, causing their sufferers a large amount of pain, immobility and decreased quality of life. The common pathology in these chronic wounds is often characterised by excessive proteolytic activity, leading to the degradation of both the extracellular matrix, as well as key factors critical to the ulcer's ability to heal. As matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a large family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases, have been shown to have increased activity in chronic wound fluid (CWF), it was hypothesised that this specific proteolytic activity was d

Abstract:

Recurring venous leg ulcers are a serious health problem and it is difficult to predict when they are likely to recur. This research discovered new predictors of recurrence and found a checklist developed to assist in identifying the person's level of risk of recurrence, to be accurate more than 70% of the time. Prevention of recurrence is important and knowledge about the likelihood of these ulcers recurring can assist in preventing this from happening. This research has contributed knowledge to a topic which has had little previous research and has provided evidence to be further examined in

Abstract:

Chronic venous leg ulcers are a detrimental health issue plaguing our society, resulting in long term pain, immobility and decreased quality of life for a large proportion of sufferers. The frequency of these chronic wounds has led current research to focus on the wound environment to provide important information regarding the prolonged, fluctuated or static healing patterns of these wounds. Disruption to the normal wound healing process results in release of multiple factors in the wound environment that could correlate to wound chronicity. These biochemical factors can often be detected
