The provision of wound care and management in a community healthcare setting: an exploratory study.
J Wound Care
January 2025
Nursing and Health Care, School of Health Sciences, South East Technological University, Waterford City, Ireland.
Objective: Wound management can be costly and challenging to the health services' scarce resources. Information regarding the number of wounds in a community care setting and their associated aetiology will provide nurses and nurse managers with an insight into the specific needs of these clients with wounds and highlight areas where care or services can be improved or further developed. This research aimed to establish the prevalence and aetiology of wounds, the current delivery of wound care, wound documentation and referral pathways in an Irish community care setting.

J Wound Care
January 2025
Department of Dermatology, Venereology, and Allergology of Katholisches Klinikum Bochum, Bochum, Germany.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of an innovative multicomponent compression system in a single bandage (UrgoK1, Laboratoires Urgo, France) in the treatment of patients with venous leg ulcers (VLUs) and/or lower limb oedema in everyday practice.
Method: A prospective, observational, clinical study with the evaluated compression system was conducted in 39 centres in Germany between March 2022 and July 2023. Main outcomes included a description of the treated patients, changes in wound healing and oedema progression, local tolerance and acceptability of the compression system.
Measurement of plantar pressure differences in the contralateral limb when using offloading modalities for diabetic foot ulcerations.
J Foot Ankle Res
March 2025
The University of South Australia, Allied Health & Human Performance Unit, Adelaide, SA, Australia.
Background: This study investigated the effect of various offloading devices commonly used for the management of diabetic foot ulcerations on peak plantar pressure and pressure-time integral of the contralateral limb.
Methods: A quantitative, randomised and within-subject repeated measures study was conducted in an outpatient gait laboratory. Outpatients with unilateral diabetic foot ulcers and adequate perfusion to the lower limb without an intrinsic limb-length discrepancy who were able to walk were recruited for the study.
Harnessing Mesenchymal Stromal Cells for Advanced Wound Healing: A Comprehensive Review of Mechanisms and Applications.
Int J Mol Sci
December 2024
Institute of Human Genetics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 60-479 Poznan, Poland.
Chronic wounds and injuries remain a substantial healthcare challenge, with significant burdens on patient quality of life and healthcare resources. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) present an innovative approach to enhance tissue repair and regeneration in the context of wound healing. The intrinsic presence of MSCs in skin tissue, combined with their roles in wound repair, ease of isolation, broad secretory profile, and low immunogenicity, makes them especially promising for treating chronic wounds.

BMC Endocr Disord
January 2025
Department of Public Health Studies, Elon University, Elon, NC, USA.
Background: The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in lower and middle - income countries call for preventive public health interventions. Studies from Africa including those from Ghana, consistently reveal high T2DM-related mortality rates. While previous research in the Ho municipality has primarily examined risk factors, comorbidity, and quality of life of T2DM patients, this study specifically investigated mortality predictors among these patients.
