Modified montmorillonite-bacterial cellulose composites as a novel dressing system for pressure injury.

The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of bacterial cellulose hydrogel (BCH) incorporated into montmorillonite (MMT) and its underlying mechanisms of action on a skin wound healing mouse model following pressure injury model. Komagataeibacter hansenii was used to obtain 5 cm in diameter and 0.8 mm of thickness circular bacterial cellulose (BC) sheets, which were incorporated with MMT by deposition ex-site using a 0.

The Development of a Novel, Standards-Based Core Curriculum for Community Facing, Clinic-Based Community Health Workers.

Historically, CHW trainings have been developed to support community-based CHWs. When CHWs have been trained to engage with patients, typically such trainings have been for short term grant funded projects, focusing on a specific health intervention and not for long term, ongoing engagement of CHWs employed in clinical settings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such effort to describe the development of a standards-based training curriculum for clinic-based CHWs using a novel conceptual framework.

[Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults].

Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA) is the term used to describe adults who have a slowly progressive form of diabetes mellitus (DM) of autoimmune etiology, but that may be treated initially without insulin. Although it shares some immunological and genetic aspects with type 1 DM, it affects an age group that is typically affected by type 2 DM. Therefore, it could be considered an intermediate type.
