Chronic wound repair and healing in older adults: current status and future research.
Abstract: Older adults are more likely to have chronic wounds than younger people, and the effect of chronic wounds on quality of life is particularly profound in this population. Wound healing slows with age, but the basic biology underlying chronic wounds and the...
Therapeutic approach to "diabetic foot" complications.
Abstract: The series of ulcers of the lower extremities known as "diabetic foot" is a common complication of diabetes and the chief cause of admission to hospital. The causes may be numerous but the main ones are distal symmetric neuropathy and peripheral...
Bioengineered alternative tissues in diabetic wound healing.
Abstract: New advances in medicine and technology continually change how clinicians treat patients with the aim of improving outcomes. As technology continues to improve, the ability to treat patients will improve as well. Great progress has been made in diabetic...
The use of human amnion/chorion membrane in the clinical setting for lower extremity repair: a review.
Abstract: Unsuccessful healing represents a significant medical dilemma for both patients and clinicians and create a financial burden on the health care system. Despite the efforts of physicians, many injuries fail to heal with standard care alone. For decades human...
Acute pulmonary edema secondary to hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been shown to be effective in the treatment of diabetic ulcers, air embolism, carbon monoxide poisoning and gas gangrene with minimal adverse effects. Very few cases of HBOT causing acute pulmonary edema (PE) has been...
[Plausible solution to prevent major amputation in diabetic foot patients].
Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is one of the leading public health problems in the world. Complications of diabetes mellitus include cardiovascular diseases, retinopathy, neuropathy and diabetic foot, which can in turn lead to lower extremity amputations. This is the...
