Article Synopsis
- * The article presents three cases of skin injuries caused by medical adhesive devices used with peripheral inserted central catheters (PICCs), showcasing different types of injuries and the management approaches taken by specialized nurses.
- * The findings emphasize the importance of the MARSI framework in identifying and managing skin injuries associated with medical adhesives, potentially allowing patients to continue necessary therapies without needing to remove their medical devices.
Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injury at 10 Years: An Updated Consensus.
J Wound Ostomy Continence Nurs
September 2024
Awareness of medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI) has increased in the decade since a foundational consensus report was published in 2013. Additional research has provided greater knowledge of the epidemiology of MARSI, along with its assessment, prevention, and management. To summarize knowledge generated in the past decade and review our current understanding of MARSI, a panel of nine clinical experts from four countries (United States of America, United Kingdom, Canada, and Brazil) convened to discuss the literature published since the initial 2013 document and develop updated recommendations for clinical practice.

Design: Descriptive, cross-sectional retrospective research design.
Subjects And Setting: The sample comprised 196 patients who underwent 258 major lower limb amputations.

Purpose: Metabolic defects in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) underlie many retinal degenerative diseases. This study aims to identify the nutrient requirements of healthy and diseased human RPE cells.
Methods: We profiled nutrient use of various human RPE cells, including differentiated and dedifferentiated fetal RPE (fRPE), induced pluripotent stem cell-derived RPE (iPSC RPE), Sorsby fundus dystrophy (SFD) patient-derived iPSC RPE, CRISPR-corrected isogenic SFD (cSFD) iPSC RPE, and ARPE-19 cell lines using Biolog Phenotype MicroArray Assays.
