Improvement in Early Scar Maturation by Nanofat Infiltration: Histological and Spectrophotometric Preliminary Results From a Split Scar-Controlled, Randomized, Double-Blinded Clinical Trial.

Background: The regenerative properties of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) in wound healing and scar formation are a subject of increasing clinical interest.

Objectives: Although preclinical studies have confirmed the angiogenetic, proliferative, and antifibrotic properties of SVF, there is limited clinical evidence from randomized controlled clinical trials.

Methods: Twelve patients who underwent abdominoplasty were included in this clinical study.

Perspectives and Attitudes of General Practitioners Towards Pharmacological and Non-Pharmacological COPD Management in a Belgian Primary Care Setting: A Qualitative Study.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex and heterogeneous condition that requires multidisciplinary management. In Belgium, the treatment of COPD is mainly managed by general practitioners (GPs). Several clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) recommend the use of non-pharmacological treatments, such as pulmonary rehabilitation, and interdisciplinary care for COPD patients.
