Wound dressing materials such as asiaticoside, collagenase, and alpha-chymotrypsin are often used for effective wound healing activity.
Despite a growing consensus that biofilms contribute to a delay in the healing of chronic wounds, conflicting evidence pertaining to their identification and management can lead to uncertainty regarding treatment. This, in part, has been... more
Extremity ballistic injury is unique and the literature intended to guide its management is commonly misinterpreted. In order to care for those injured in conflict and conduct appropriate research, clinicians must be able to identify key... more
BACKGROUND Surgical management of cervical lesions with reconstruction procedures has remarkably expanded the options available in the last decade. Anterior cervical corpectomy with titanium mesh reconstruction is one of the effective... more
BACkgRound: The role of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) has been examined in the medical literature for decades. There are more systematic reviews of the HBO2 / DFU literature than there have been... more
UNLABELLED Wound dressing materials such as asiaticoside, collagenase, and alpha-chymotrypsin are often used for effective wound healing activity. OBJECTIVES In this study, the effects of asiaticoside, collagenase, and alpha-chymotrypsin... more
Acute and chronic wound infections create clinical, economic, and patient-centered challenges best met by multidisciplinary wound care teams providing consistent, valid, clinically relevant, safe, evidence-based management across... more
The opportunistic human pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is a major cause of infections in chronic wounds, burns and the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients. The P. aeruginosa genome encodes at least three proteins exhibiting the... more
Burns are a common type of skin injury encountered at all levels of medical facilities from private clinics to core hospitals. Minor burns heal by topical treatment alone, but moderate to severe burns require systemic management, and skin... more
Male veterans with unilateral primary inguinal hernia, classified intraoperatively as Gilbert Type III or IV, were randomized to subaponeurotic (Lichtenstein, n=126) or preperitoneal (Read-Rives, n=121) repair under general or spinal... more
Purpose: A retrospective clinical trial was conducted to compare laparoscopic incisional hernia repair (LIHR) and open traditional repair (OR). Demographics, perioperative data, results, and follow-up data were examined to determine... more
To isolate, identify, and determine the prevalence of Candida and other yeasts of clinical importance in Aseer region, Saudi Arabia. This is a cross-sectional study involving retrospective analysis of 6100 samples submitted to the... more
We prospectively treated 29 athletes who had Achilles tendon ruptures according to a functional rehabilitation protocol. The 25 male and 4 female patients had a mean age of 35 years (range, 19 to 56). The repair was per formed with a... more
Extending the fascial incision underlying the circumbilical approach to the shape of an ‘inverted T’ permits easy delivery of the pyloric tumour for Ramstedt’s pyloromyotomy. This modification was used in 51 consecutive infants (42 male,... more
In the present review, authors take into consideration the classification and the epidemiology of the skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs), a set of commonly observed pathologies, which can present different features, relatively to... more
The long-term antimicrobial efficacy of silver dressings against bacterial biofilms was investigated in a 7-day treatment in vitro model where the protein-rich medium was refreshed daily in order to mimic the conditions found in a wound... more
Aims. One proposed method to diagnose diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) for infection is clinical examination. Twelve different signs of infection have been reported. The purpose of this study was to examine diagnostic validity of each... more
Biofilm development in wounds is now acknowledged to be a precursor to infection and a cause of delayed healing. A next-generation antibiofilm carboxymethylcellulose silver-containing wound dressing (NGAD) has been developed to disrupt... more
