Sargassum glaucescens Extract/Marine-Derived Collagen Blend Sponge and Their Properties for Wound Healing.

Burn wounds are challenging to treat due to considerable tissue damage and fluid loss. Creating wound dressings from natural and biological materials makes it possible to treat wounds and promote rapid epithelialization to speed healing and restore skin function. As a result, the ability of a collagen scaffold (Col) made from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and putative bioactive phytochemical components from a Sargassum glaucescens (S.

The rate of burnout, depression, and anxiety among burn care team members in a tertiary burn hospital: A descriptive cross-sectional study.

Background: Working in burn units has its unique challenges and may increase the rate of depression, anxiety, and burnout in burn care staff. We aimed to estimate the rate of depression, anxiety, and burnout among the members of the burn care team.

Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted from 1 January 2024 to 22 February 2024 in a tertiary burn hospital.

Degree of sulfation of freeze-dried calcium alginate sulfate scaffolds dramatically influence healing rate of full-thickness diabetic wounds.

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a chronic and non-healing wound in all age categories with a high prevalence and mortality in the world. An ideal wound dressing for DFU should possess the ability of adsorbing high contents of exudate and actively promote wound healing. Here, we introduced the calcium alginate sulfate as a new biomaterial appropriate for use in wound dressing to promote the healing of full-thickness ulcers in a diabetic mouse model.

A Review on Traditional Medicine Used for Burn Treatment.

Considering the high consumption of and preference for traditional treatments among people and the lack of enough studies on the effectiveness of these treatments, we aimed to review articles on the use of traditional and complementary medicine, focusing on how they affect healing, debridement, and hypertrophic scars. In this study, we conducted the literature search in international databases PubMed, Google Scholar, Ovid, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, as well as Persian databases Scientific Information Database (SID), Magiran, Iranmedex, and IranDoc. Retrieved hits were reviewed by three authors for screening based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the screening process is expressed as Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses framework flow chart.

Heat-treated alginate-polycaprolactone core-shell nanofibers by emulsion electrospinning process for biomedical applications.

Fabrication of Core-shell nanofibrous mat which is a promising tool for a wide range of applications in tissue engineering can be developed using water in oil (W/O) or oil in water (O/W) emulsion electrospinning. In this study, for the first time, we fabricated an O/W emulsion-based electrospun core-shell mat using polycaprolactone (PCL) as a core and the blend solution of alginate (Alg) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) as shell material. To achieve a stable core-shell mat, firstly, Alg was modified with heat treatment to decrease the molecular weight of Alg.
