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

Aims/Hypothesis. Topical application of CTGF/CCN2 to rodent diabetic and control wounds was examined. In parallel research, correlation of CTGF wound fluid levels with healing rate in human diabetic foot ulcers was undertaken.Methods. Full thickness cutaneous wounds in diabetic and nondiabetic control rats were treated topically with 1 μg rhCTGF or vehicle alone, on 2 consecutive days. Wound healing rate was observed on day 14 and wound sites were examined for breaking strength and granulation tissue. In the human study across 32 subjects, serial CTGF regulation was analyzed longitudinally in

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

Abstract:

This article describes four infected diabetic foot ulcer patients who were treated with honey dressing as fragmented therapy. Quantitative and qualitative descriptions of the ulcer-healing process were documented. All four ulcers showed positive wound contraction and reduction in size, and clinical signs of infection were absent at the end of the follow-up period. Moreover, surrounding skin maceration and trauma were absent in all wounds. Adequate moisture control was also achieved, evidenced by a healthy red granulating base and a thin layer of clear light exudate in all fours cases. These re

Abstract:

Background: A common and complicated side effect of diabetes is diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), which frequently lead to chronic wounds that are challenging to heal. Another technique that has gained interest is low-level laser therapy (LLLT), which speeds up the healing of diabetic foot ulcers. The purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate how well LLLT aids in the healing of diabetic foot ulcers that are chronic. Purpose: To assess the effects of low-level laser therapy on the healing of diabetic foot ulcers, particularly with regard to ulcer size reduction, pain relief, and overall woun

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: The benefits of using amniotic tissue in skin regeneration are well documented. Today, cryopreservation technology allows for better availability and maintenance of mesenchymal stem cells. This is of particular interest in treating the diabetic foot ulcer as this population has fewer mesenchymal stem cells. The objective of this case series investigation was to compare the efficacy of cryopreserved human amniotic stem cells in treating foot wounds of different etiologies.

In the last decades the possibility to diagnose a skin ulcer has greatly improved. We learnt that a consistent percentage of nonhealing ulcers may be caused by a microangiopathic disorder that has not been properly investigated and cured. Pathogenetically, we can distinguish 2 main groups: (1) ulcers due to inflammatory microangiopathy, mainly including cutaneous small and medium vessel vasculitis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and connective tissue diseases, and (2) ulcers due to occlusive microangiopathy. The group of microangiopathic occlusive ulcers is more heterogeneous and includes different dis

BACKGROUND: Chronic podiatric wounds are common causes of morbidity and mortality in older patients. Negative pressure wound therapy with instillation and dwell time (NPWTi-d) has been recommended in wounds with high levels of exudate, contaminated wounds, and wounds in which healing progression has stalled. PURPOSE: This retrospective case series describes the use of NPWTi-d to prepare 4 chronic wounds for closure in older patients with multiple comorbidities.

Abstract:

Pressure ulcers are debilitating and often painful problem, particularly in people who are elderly, immobile and/or obese. It is estimated that more than 100 000 new pressure ulcers develop each year. These wounds are caused by friction and shear and are particularly prevalent in older people, where malnutrition can be a factor in their development. Nutrition plays a key role in pressure ulcer care because wounds need both macronutrients and micronutrients to heal. It is essential that nurses understand the role of nutrition in pressure ulcer management.
