The incidence of hospital and posthospital wound complications was studied in 236 patients, residents of Zelonograd, who underwent operation for acute appendicitis. The material was collected at City Hospital No. 3 and four out-patient clinics of Zelenograd. The incidence of suppuration of the surgical wound in the hospital period was 13.1%, that of nonpurulent complications was 9.3%, and the total incidence of the wound complications was 22.4%. In the posthospital period additional suppuration of wounds was encountered in 23.3% of patients, nonsuppurative wound complications in 17.1%, and the total incidence of posthospital wound complications was 40.3%. The frequency of rehospitalization was 5.5%, the incidence of postoperative hernias was 0.9%. The economical loss due to the development of wound complications in 236 patients operated on for acute appendicitis came up to 56,120 roubles.

Merged Red and NIR Light Sources for Photobiomodulation Therapy in Diabetic Wound Healing.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

Photobiomodulation (PBM) is considered an effective and safe therapeutic modality in supporting the treatment of complications from a global pandemic-diabetes. In this study, PBM therapy is investigated to accelerate wound healing in diabetic mice (DM), under the combined biological effects of red light from a red organic light-emitting diode (ROLED) and near-infrared (NIR) light from an NIR conversion film (NCF) with dispersed CuInS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs). The QD concentration and the NCF structure were optimized to maximize the optical properties and mechanical stability.

Purpose: Isolated coronal shear fractures of the distal humerus in adolescents are rare injuries with unique surgical challenges. Respect for the posterior blood supply, open physes, and need for direct visualization to achieve anatomic reduction are critical considerations in surgical fixation. This study presents a case series and a surgical approach used in treating these patients.

Purpose: Xylazine has been associated with necrotic soft tissue wounds that have placed a challenging burden on patients who inject drugs in the Philadelphia region's health care system over the last few years. An analysis of our initial experience is being presented to guide future treatment and directions for future research.
Methods: A retrospective review of 55 patients with patient-reported xylazine use and associated upper-extremity wounds at a single institution was performed.

Wound bacterial infections not only impede the healing process but can also give rise to a range of serious complications, thereby posing a substantial risk to human health. Developing effective wound dressings incorporating phototherapy functionalities, specifically photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), remains a critical area of research in modern wound care. Existing PTT-PDT systems often suffer from challenges such as nanoparticle aggregation and inefficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, which are essential for therapeutic efficacy.

Introduction: Mandibular condylar fractures are among the most common facial fractures and its incidence has been rising since the past few decades. Although various approaches for management of mandibular condylar fractures have been described in literature there is a gap in the published literature when it comes to comparison of these approaches. There have only been a handful of studies which have compared use of Retromandibular Transparotid against Retromandibular anteroparotid approach in management of mandibular condylar fractures with conflicting results.
