Fifteen cases of indolent ulcers of varying aetiology were treated by human placental dressing. An equal number of patients treated with antibiotics were taken as control. Human placental dressing for chronic ulcers was found to be effective in wound healing, inexpensive, freely available and devoid of side-effects. The immunological response which produces the clinical results by the use of human placenta has been studied. The raised level of immunoglobulins in the form of IgG and IgM was also seen.

This expert review provides recommendations for the cesarean delivery technique after placental delivery to skin closure. After placental delivery sponge curettage may be omitted as it has not been shown to decrease the risk of retained products of conception. Uterine irrigation and mechanical cervical dilation cannot be recommended.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic inflammatory skin conditions like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are challenging to treat with existing options, such as topical corticosteroids, which have limitations and side effects.
- Recent research highlights the potential of placental derivatives—from decidua, placental membrane, and umbilical cord—to effectively treat these conditions by reducing inflammation and promoting healing.
- The use of these derivatives may revolutionize care by providing benefits for not just psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, but also other skin diseases like vitiligo and pemphigus, potentially changing treatment methodologies and improving patient outcomes.

Extracellular matrix sponge plays a positive role in the wound healing process, but requires proper structural strength and biological properties. In order to solve the problem of lyophilized dissolution of placenta-derived sponge, glutaraldehyde was selected for use in the lyophilized crosslinking process to improve the necessary mechanical properties of the placental decellularization matrix sponge. In this work, the effects of three cross-linking methods of glutaraldehyde (Fumigation/Slurry/Soak) on the physical and biological characteristics of lyophilised sponges derived from placental acellular matrix was investigated.

Endometrial-derived uterine histotroph is a critical component of nutrient supply to a growing conceptus throughout gestation; however, the effect of nutritional plane on histotroph nutrient composition remains unknown in multiparous cows. We hypothesized that differing planes of nutrition would alter histotroph and serum nutrient composition in beef cattle. Thus, we evaluated serum and histotroph amino acid and glucose composition, and serum non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in cows individually fed to maintain body weight (BW; 0 kd/d, n = 9; CON) compared with those losing moderate BW (-0.

Objective: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) continue to challenge wound care practitioners. This prospective, multicentre, randomised controlled trial (RCT) evaluated the effectiveness of a dehydrated Amnion Chorion Membrane (dACM) (Organogenesis Inc., US) versus standard of care (SoC) alone in complex DFUs in a challenging patient population.
