AI Article Synopsis
- The study compared a new zip-type skin closure device to traditional sutures for cardiac procedures in terms of time, appearance, and outcomes.
- The new device significantly reduced closure time and variability among surgeons compared to sutures, without causing more pain or worse scarring.
- Overall, the adjustable device was found to be a safe and effective alternative for skin closure in cardiac implantable electronic device procedures.
Article Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study was to compare a unique zip-type adjustable coaptive tape-based skin closure device to traditional subcuticular sutures in three domains: time, cosmesis, and wound closure-related outcomes in cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) procedures.
Methods: A total of 40 patients were enrolled in a prospective randomized controlled trial to assess time to wound closure, as well as cosmesis and wound closure-related outcomes.
Results: The adjustable coaptive tape-based skin closure device had shorter overall closure time (78 ± 6.6 seconds vs 216 ± 21.5 seconds; P < 0.001) and mean closure time per centimeter (18.0 ± 2.0 s/cm vs 50.1 ± 6.7 s/cm; P < 0.001) versus sutures, with less intersurgeon and interpatient variability with the use of adjustable coaptive device versus sutures (P < 0.001). There was no difference between groups in postoperative pain or scar cosmesis during the follow-up period. Neither group had any closure-related adverse events.
Conclusions: The adjustable coaptive tape-based skin closure device demonstrated shorter closure times with less variability when compared to sutures. It is a safe and acceptable alternative to sutures for skin closure following CIED implantation.

Delayed Development of a Giant Cranial Pseudomeningocele After Surgical Excision of a Parasagittal Meningioma: A Case Report.

Pseudomeningoceles are among the most common postoperative neurosurgical complications, usually presenting in the early postoperative period and often responding well to nonsurgical management. Here, we present a case of a giant cranial pseudomeningocele that developed three years after parasagittal meningioma resection, without any known risk factors. Despite conservative measures, the pseudomeningocele grew significantly over two years, reaching 22 cm along its long axis.

Diabetes, a chronic metabolic disease, causes complications such as chronic wounds which are difficult to cure. New treatments have been investigated to accelerate the wound healing. In this study, a novel wound dressing from fibroblast-laden atelocollagen-based hydrogel with Cotinus coggygria's extract was developed for diabetic wound healing.

Chronic diabetic wounds present significant treatment challenges due to their complex microenvironment, often leading to suboptimal healing outcomes. Hydrogen sulfide (HS), a crucial gaseous signaling molecule, has shown great potential in modulating inflammation, oxidative stress and extracellular matrix remodeling, which are essential for effective wound healing. However, conventional HS delivery systems lack the adaptability required to meet the dynamic demands of different healing stages, thereby limiting their therapeutic efficacy.

A serious challenge of the chronic administration of dexamethasone (DEX) is a delay in wound healing. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the potential of Tadalafil (TAD)-loaded proniosomal gel to accelerate the healing process of skin wounds in DEX-challenged rabbits. Skin wounds were induced in 48 rabbits of 4 groups (n = 12 per group) and skin wounds were treated by sterile saline (control), TAD-loaded proniosomal gel topically on skin wound, DEX-injected rabbits, and DEX+TAD-loaded proniosomal gel for 4 weeks.

The capacity for tissue repair during wound healing declines with age. A chronic low but systemic inflammatory status, often called "inflammaging", is considered a key factor that contributes to impaired tissue regeneration. This phenomenon has been substantiated by an increased number of immune cells in wound-tissue of old mice.
