Application of one-dimensional nanofibers have witnessed exponential growth over the past few decades and are still emerging with their excellent physicochemical and electrical properties. The driving force behind this intriguing transition lies in their unique high surface-to-volume ratio, ubiquitous nanodomains, improved tensile strength, and flexibility to incorporate deliberate functionalities required for specific and advanced applications. Besides numerous benefits, nanomaterials may adversely interact with biological tissues and potentially be cytotoxic and carcinogenic. However, precisely engineered design can outperform the risk with myriad benefits. Wound care technologies are evolving, and products involved in wound care management have a yearly market value of $15-22 billion. Solution blow spinning (SBS) is a facile technique to synthesize biocompatible nanofibers with scalable processing variables for multidirectional biomedical applications. SBS is feasible for a wide range of thermoplastic polymers and nanomaterials to fabricate nanocomposites. This review will focus on the relevance of SBS technology for wound care, including dressings, drug delivery, tissue engineering scaffolds, and sensors.

Introduction: More extensive and cohesive studies on quadriceps tendon rupture (QTR) repair surgery are required to guide effective treatment strategies. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to identify predictors of subjective functional recovery following QTR repair surgery.
Materials And Methods: This multicentre retrospective cohort study enrolled 191 adults (age ≥ 18 years) who underwent surgical unilateral QTR repair (2010-2022) and had ≥ 1-year postoperative follow-up at three trauma centres in Germany.

Background: Malnutrition predicts poor outcomes following hip fracture, affecting patient recovery, healthcare performance, and costs. Evidence-based guidelines recommend multicomponent, interdisciplinary nutrition care to improve intake, reduce complications, and enhance outcomes. This study examines global variation in oral nutrition support for older (65+ years) hip fracture inpatients.

Chronic wounds present a substantial healthcare obstacle, marked by an extended healing period that can persist for weeks, months, or even years. Typically, they do not progress through the usual phases of healing, which include hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, within the expected timeframe. Therefore, to address the socioeconomic burden in taking care of chronic wounds, hydrogel-based therapeutic materials have been proposed.
