Silver and nanoparticles of silver in wound dressings: a review of efficacy and safety Tập 20 Số 11 - Trang 543-549 - 2011
Legh Wilkinson, Richard White, J.K. Chipman
Wound infections present a significant clinical challenge, impacting on patient
morbidity and mortality, with significant economic implications.
Silver-impregnated wound dressings have the potential to reduce both wound
bioburden and healing time. The silver ion Ag+ is the active antimicrobial
entity; it can interfere with thiol (−SH) groups and provoke the generation of
reactive oxygen species (R... hiện toàn bộ
Maceration of the skin and wound bed 1: its nature and causes Tập 11 Số 7 - Trang 275-278 - 2002
Keith Cutting, Richard White
Maceration, caused by prolonged exposure to moisture, can complicate the healing
of wounds, especially chronic ones. This paper — the first of three reviewing
the literature on its aetiology and management — looks at how maceration occurs.

Scot E. Dowd, John D. Hanson, Eric J. Rees, Randall D. Wolcott, A.M. Zischau, Yan Sun, Jennifer S. White, Drake M Smith, John P. Kennedy, Curtis E. Jones
Objective: To assess the incidence, abundance and species diversity of fungi in
chronic wounds, as well as to describe the associations of major fungi
populations. Method: Comprehensive molecular diagnostic reports were evaluated
from a total of 915 chronic wounds in a retrospective study. Results: Of the 915
clinical specimens, 208 (23%) were positive for fungal species. These samples

Burn wound healing: present concepts, treatment strategies and future directions Tập 26 Số 1 - Trang 5-19 - 2017
Ahmad Oryan, Esmat Alemzadeh, Ali Moshiri
Burns are the most extensive forms of soft tissue injuries occasionally
resulting in extensive and deep wounds and death. Burns can lead to severe
mental and emotional distress, because of excessive scarring and skin
contractures. Treatment of burns has always been a difficult medical problem and
many different methods have been used to treat such injuries, locally. Biofilms
are a collection of mi... hiện toàn bộ
Comparative trial of Aloe vera/olive oil combination cream versus phenytoin cream in the treatment of chronic wounds Tập 24 Số 10 - Trang 459-465 - 2015
Yunes Panahi, Morteza Izadi, N. Sayyadi, Ramin Rezaee, Nematollah Jonaidi Jafari, Fatemeh Beiraghdar, Ali Zamani, Amirhossein Sahebkar
Objective: Aloe vera is a medicinal plant that has been traditionally used to
accelerate wound healing. Olive oil is also a natural product that may
contribute to wound healing owing to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory
effects. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of an Aloe vera–olive
oil (AVO) combination cream on the healing process of chronic wounds. Method: In
this randomised... hiện toàn bộ

Effectiveness of a monofilament wound debridement pad at removing biofilm and slough:ex vivoand clinical performance Tập 27 Số 2 - Trang 80-90 - 2018
Gregory S. Schultz, Kevin Woo, Dot Weir, Qingping Yang
Objective:Removal of slough and other devitalised tissue is an important step in
biofilm-based wound care (BBWC) and wound bed preparation. Debridement is key to
management of both slough and biofilm, and a number of methods are available to
achieve this, including surgical/sharp and mechanical debridement. Developments
have led to products indicated for debridement of wounds, including a sterile

The impact of topical phenytoin on recalcitrant neuropathic diabetic foot ulceration Tập 18 Số 1 - Trang 33-37 - 2009
Mamdouh El-Nahas, Hanan Gawish, Manal Tarshoby, O. State
Objective: To study the impact of topical phenytoin on the healing of
recalcitrant neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers in patients with no clinical
evidence of ischaemia or infection, and to evaluate its antibacterial effect.
Method: Thirty-two patients were enrolled into the study. Topical phenytoin in
the form of 2% aerosol powder was applied once daily in addition to the
patient's usual treatment ... hiện toàn bộ
The effects of Feijoa sellowiana fruit extract on wound healing in rats: a stereological and molecular study Tập 31 Số Sup8 - Trang S36-S44 - 2022

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and
wound-healing potential of Feijoa sellowiana fruit extract using stereological
and molecular methods in experimental rat models. Materials: Male Wistar rats
were divided into four equal groups: non-treated, vehicle, Feijoa sellowiana
fruit extract ointment (5% weight/weight) and the reference drug (madecassol).
