Article Synopsis
- Several guidelines endorse TLC-NOSF dressings for chronic wounds, but they are often seen as second-line treatments, risking patient care and increasing costs.
- A systematic review analyzed existing studies from various databases, focusing on wound healing rates, quality of life, and costs when TLC-NOSF dressings were used as initial therapy.
- The review included 17 studies published between 2017 and 2024, comparing TLC-NOSF as both first-line and second-line treatments, revealing important insights into their effectiveness and implications for patient outcomes.
An estimated 73% of emerging infections are zoonotic in origin, with animal contact and encroachment on their habitats increasing the risk of spill-over events. In Vietnam, close exposure to a wide range of animals and animal products can lead to acquisition of zoonotic pathogens, a number of which cause central nervous system (CNS) infections. However, studies show the aetiology of CNS infections remains unknown in around half of cases.

Several previous studies have shown an association between increased serum ferritin levels and other components of metabolic syndrome and the risk of metabolic syndrome. They conclude that ferritin can be viewed as a predictor of metabolic syndrome risk.
