To date, available review papers related to the electrospinning of biopolymers including polysaccharides for wound healing were focused on summarizing the process conditions for two candidates, namely chitosan and hyaluronic acid. However, most reviews lack the discussion of problems of hyaluronan and chitosan electrospun nanofibers for wound dressing applications. For this reason, it is required to update information by providing a comprehensive overview of all factors which may play a role in the electrospinning of hyaluronic acid and chitosan for applications of wound dressings. This review summarizes the fabricated chitosan and hyaluronic acid electrospun nanofibers as wound dressings in the last years, including methods of preparations of nanofibers and challenges for the electrospinning of both pure chitosan and hyaluronic acid and strategies how to overcome the existing difficulties. Moreover, in this review the biological roles and mechanisms of chitosan and hyaluronic acid in the wound healing process are explained including the advantages of nanofibers for ideal wound management using the common solvents, copolymers enhancing spinning process, and the most biologically active incorporated substances thereby providing drug delivery in wound healing.

Unlabelled: The treatment of orthopaedic diseases, such as fractures and osteoarthritis, remains a significant challenge due to the complex requirements for mechanical strength and tissue repair. Hydrogels based on hyaluronic acid methacrylate (HAMA) show promise as tissue engineering materials for these conditions. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural component of the extracellular matrix, known for its good compatibility.

The purpose of this in brief article was to determine the current role of intraarticular injections of hyaluronic acid (HA) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the treatment of painful KOA. It has been reported that the average duration of effectiveness (pain relief) of one injection of extended-release HA is around one year. Kellgren-Lawrence grade (I-II versus III-IV), male gender, and older age are associated with a longer duration of effectiveness.

Buttock augmentation has emerged as a significant focus in cosmetic surgery, driven by advancements in techniques and increasing patient interest in body contouring. The evolution of this field, from early pioneering methods to modern, diverse approaches, highlights the need to understand the specific characteristics of each technique and their implications for aesthetic outcomes. The author aims to provide a detailed review of 4 major buttock augmentation techniques: gluteal implants, Brazilian butt lift (BBL), intramuscular polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and deep subcutaneous hyaluronic acid fillers.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most prevalent bacterial pathogens. The multi-drug resistance and strong biofilm-forming ability make the treatment of MRSA infections challenging. It is urgent to develop antibiotic-free, noninvasive and effective strategies against MRSA infections.
