Chronic leg ulcers occur in at least 1% of the adult population. The healing of these ulcers remains a clinical challenge. The purpose of this pilot study was to explore the nutritional risk, status, and intake of seven patients with venous ulcers. The Public Awareness Checklist categorized two
Chronic venous ulcers affect the quality of life of patients around the world. The aims of this study were to identify the proteins expressed in chronic venous ulcer exudates, to categorize them according to their roles and to correlate them with the clinical and epidemiological aspects of the
BACKGROUND
The clinical observation of distinct reduction of wound secretion tendency during treatment of venous leg ulcer with topically applied factor XIII let us speculate that this enzyme may be involved in modulation of vascular permeability.
METHODS
For experimental study porcine aortic
OBJECTIVE
The prevalence of protein deficiency and its impact on wound healing is not known for leg ulcers. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of protein deficiency in outpatients presenting with leg ulcers and the parameter's prognostic value for wound
OBJECTIVE
Malnutrition after mini-gastric bypass (MGB) is a rare and dreaded complication with few data available regarding its surgical management. We aim to report the feasibility, safety, and results of laparoscopic reversal of MGB to normal anatomy (RMGB) in case of severe and refractory
Chronic wounds are characterized by a long inflammatory phase that hinders regenerative wound healing. The purpose of this prospective case series was to evaluate how a physiologically relevant concentration of an autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) gel affects initial wound healing trajectories
OBJECTIVE
Fibroblasts (fb) play an important role in wound healing involving motility, contraction, fibrosis, and expression of the cytoskeletal protein alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-sma). Patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) are known to have dermal changes and impaired venous ulcer
Leg ulcers present a common and recurring problem in older people creating discomfort and distress for the patient and a great cost to the health care services. Cultured keratinocyte grafts have been used by many investigators to stimulate healing of chronic venous ulcers. It has been proposed that
