Efficacy of a 3D Electrospun Synthetic Polymer Matrix on Hard-to-Heal Wounds.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a 3D electrospun synthetic polymer matrix (3DESPM) on hard-to-heal wounds.

Materials And Methods: This prospective case series took place at four sites. The primary endpoints were the percentage area reduction (PAR) in wound area at four and eight weeks.

Expandable dehydrated human umbilical cord allograft for the management of nonhealing lower extremity wounds in patients with diabetes: a case series.

Advanced wound treatments are derived primarily from human placental membranes or animal tissue sources and composed of cellular and acellular dermal substitutes. The use of advanced wound treatments is practitioner directed and individualized to the wound characteristics. A multidisciplinary approach to wound closure is necessary, including the use of advanced treatments (eg, human umbilical cord derivatives) to achieve durable resolution of hard-to-heal wounds.

Guidelines for the use of topical oxygen therapy in the treatment of hard-to-heal wounds based on a Delphi consensus.

A growing body of evidence supports the use of topical oxygen therapy (TOT) in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). In addition, anecdotal evidence suggests that topical oxygen may be effective in the treatment of other wound types. In May 2021, experts in the field of wound healing from across the US assembled in New Orleans for the inaugural Leaders in Wound Healing conference.

Reduced Hospitalizations and Amputations in Patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcers Treated with Cyclical Pressurized Topical Wound Oxygen Therapy: Real-World Outcomes.

This study sought to examine the real-world impact of multimodality cyclical-pressure topical wound oxygen therapy (TWO2) on hospitalizations and amputations in patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) compared with patients without TWO2. We conducted a retrospective review of deidentified patient medical records at 2 U.S.

Total Dystrophic Onychomycosis Successfully Treated with Efinaconazole Topical Solution in Times of Coronavirus Disease of 2019: A Case Study.

Toenail onychomycosis is a common condition that is equally challenging for podiatrists and patients. This case study documents a 26-year-old woman with bilateral total dystrophic onychomycosis of at least 5 years' duration. She had previously failed to respond to treatment with ciclopirox nail lacquer 8% and, despite hiding her condition with nail polish, was suffering from embarrassment, distress, and low self-esteem.
