Background: Pregnant women constitute a vulnerable population occasionally affected by zoonotic sporotrichosis. Treatment is challenging due to potentially teratogenic oral medications (itraconazole and saturated potassium iodide solution) or lack of clinical experience during pregnancy (terbinafine). Literature is scarce on sporotrichosis and pregnancy, mainly consisting of case reports.

Osteomyelitis is an osseous infectious disease that primarily affects children and the elderly with high morbidity and recurrence. The conventional treatments of osteomyelitis contain long-term and high-dose systemic antibiotics with debridements, which are not effective and lead to antibiotic resistance with serious side/adverse effects in many cases. Hence, developing novel antibiotic-free interventions against osteomyelitis (especially antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection) is urgent and anticipated.

Introduction: Pretibial lacerations resulting from trauma may evolve into chronic wounds with worsening infections without treatment. There is a limited amount of literature on the presentation and treatment of recalcitrant pretibial ulcerations.
Objective: This study aims to provide a review of surgical treatment methodology that successfully managed recalcitrant pretibial ulcerations.

Objectives: Foot ulceration associated with diabetic foot disease (DFD) and chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) presents a complex clinical challenge and failure to heal the wound imposes a significant risk of major limb amputation (MLA). In attempt to accelerate wound healing rates and decrease MLA, tissue engineering research into bio-engineered scaffolds and skin substitutes has become a growing area of interest. Advanced wound therapies such as fetal bovine acellular dermal matrix (FBADM) may have success in the treatment of difficult to heal chronic foot ulcers.
