Hypochlorous acid in a double formulation (liquid plus gel) is a key prognostic factor for healing and absence of infection in chronic ulcers. A nonrandomized concurrent treatment study.

Background And Aims: Diverse protocols prevent infection and/or improve ulcer epithelialization. protocols tend to antagonize the risk factors that the chronicity of this type of wound. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is used to treat ulcers and wounds because of its antiseptic and noncytotoxic properties.

Assessment of increased knowledge about traffic accidents prevention, one month after a presentation included in the program "it can happen to you" of AESLEME.

Unlabelled: Road traffic accidents are a real pandemic and incur expenses amounting to 1-2% of every country's GDP. AESLEME (Association for the Study of Spinal Cord Injuries) has celebrated its 30th anniversary here in Spain. AESLEME's instructors are health workers and people with spinal cord injuries caused by road accidents: their presentations-teaching road safety and sharing information on irreversible injuries-are enhanced by personal stories that help schoolchildren to acquire knowledge on this matter.

Synergistic effect of two formulations of hypochlorous acid in the treatment of 346 chronic ulcers.

Our objective was to assess the efficacy of two successive applications of hypochlorous acid, first as a liquid and then as a gel because liquid hypochlorous acid is effective but has little residual effect, while the gel form has more residual power, and compare it with that of other products. An experimental non-randomised study was carried out, treating 346 chronic ulcers in 220 patients. The antiseptic treatment has been divided into 'hypochlorous acid' (Clortech), 'hypochlorous acid liquid + gel' (Clortech + Microdacyn60 -hydrogel) and 'Others' (Prontosan or Chlorhexidine or Microdacyn60 -hydrogel).

Surgical Infection Reduction Program of the Observatory of Surgical Infection (PRIQ-O): Delphi prioritization and consensus document on recommendations for the prevention of surgical site infection.

Surgical site infection is the most frequent and avoidable complication of surgery, but clinical guidelines for its prevention are insufficiently followed. We present the results of a Delphi consensus carried out by a panel of experts from 17 Scientific Societies with a critical review of the scientific evidence and international guidelines, to select the measures with the highest degree of evidence and facilitate their implementation. Forty measures were reviewed and 53 recommendations were issued.
