Biopsies are useful for monitoring wound infection. Not only does this method have a diagnostic value, but it also helps to evaluate the effectiveness of local and systemic wound treatment, to determine the appropriate time of skin autografting and finally to assess the chance of survival.

Injectable Polyhydroxyalkanoate-Nano-Clay Microcarriers Loaded with r-BMSCs Enhance the Repair of Cranial Defects in Rats.
Int J Nanomedicine
December 2024
Department of Plastic Surgery, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, 430022, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: Successful regeneration of cranial defects necessitates the use of porous bone fillers to facilitate cell proliferation and nutrient diffusion. Open porous microspheres, characterized by their high specific surface area and osteo-inductive properties, offer an optimal microenvironment for cell ingrowth and efficient ossification, potentially accelerating bone regeneration.
Materials And Methods: An in vitro investigation was conducted to assess the physicochemical properties, porosity, and biocompatibility of PHA-nano-clay open porous microspheres.
Comparing Patient-Reported Outcomes Following the Minimally Invasive Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)-Related Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms: Rezum Versus UroLift.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to compare patient-reported outcomes of minimally invasive treatments for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), namely, transurethral water vapor therapy (Rezum) and prostatic urethral lift (UroLift), due to the lack of direct comparison in the existing literature. Methods A retrospective single-institution study was conducted comparing Rezum and UroLift procedures performed by three surgeons between January 2019 and June 2022. The difference in American Urological Association Symptom Scores (AUA SS) was the primary outcome measure.

Beveled skin incision was proposed 30 years back to improve scar outcome. But we could not find any existing literature that studied the outcomes of beveled excision in a non-hair-bearing skin objectively. Twenty-eight patients undergoing skin excision during various aesthetic procedures were divided equally into two groups.

Background And Aim: The relationship between the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) and carotid atherosclerosis has not yet been assessed in a longitudinal investigation. Our current study aimed to investigate whether SIRI is related to an increased risk of incident carotid plaque.
Methods And Results: Our study included individuals who did not have carotid atherosclerosis and had undergone yearly health check-ups at the Department of Health Management of Nanfang Hospital between 2011 and 2018 (total n = 3927).

Introduction: The Brisbane Burn Scar Impact Profile (BBSIP) and the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) are used in burn scar assessment to quantify patient health-related quality of life (HR-QoL). These questionnaires were developed using pen-and-paper delivery methods; however, there is a push towards electronic delivery of these questionnaires in both clinical practice and research. Equivalence testing is required to ensure that validity of these paper questionnaires is maintained electronically.
