Applying negative pressure to wounds may speed the formation of granulation tissue, decrease the amount of localized edema, increase blood flow, and accelerate healing. In the present study, we treated ten patients with stage IV chronic pressure ulcers using this negative pressure dressing
BACKGROUND
Pressure ulcers' treatment imposes a considerable cost on health system and patients. Electrical stimulation has already been introduced as an effective method for promoting wound healing. This study was conducted to determine the impact of interferential current (IF) on healing of
The purpose of our study was to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine deep changes in soft tissues and bones underlying decubitus ulcers which occur in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. By diagnosing these deep changes adjacent to decubitus ulcers, MRI can facilitate proper clinical
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the pathogenesis of pressure ulcers utilizing high-resolution ultrasound and to explore the utility of this technology for the detection of incipient pressure ulcers prior to visual clinical signs.
METHODS
An observational prospective study comparing high-resolution
OBJECTIVE
This retrospective chart review study was conducted to determine the prevalence and incidence of pressure ulcers, and the contribution of known risk factors toward the predicted occurrence of pressure ulcers in a long-term rehabilitation setting.
METHODS
A continuous series of 170 adult
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to determine the incidence of pressure ulcers in patients on mechanical ventilation and selected risk factors likely to play a role in pressure ulcer development.
METHODS
The study included 110 patients recruited from an anesthesia critical care unit of a university
Burn therapists routinely are tasked to position the lower extremities of burn patients for pressure ulcer prevention, skin graft protection, donor site ventilation, and edema reduction. We developed two durable and low-maintenance devices that allow effective positioning of the lower extremities.
OBJECTIVE
To examine the interobserver reliability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signs of osteomyelitis in complex chronic pressure ulcers in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).
METHODS
Retrospective review study.
METHODS
Specialist SCI rehabilitation center.
METHODS
Adult patients with
Human skin presents a large, easily accessible matrix that is potentially useful for diagnostic applications based on whole body metabolite changes-some of which will be volatile and detected using minimally invasive tools. Unfortunately, identifying skin biomarkers that can be reliably linked to a
OBJECTIVE
Identify key magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features that have a significant correlation with osteomyelitis of pressure ulcers in spinal injury patients.
METHODS
Retrospective review study.
METHODS
Adult patients admitted to the National Spinal Injuries Centre with spinal cord injury
This paper presents a historical reminder of the development of medical care, a contemporary consideration of the division of care, as well as the definition of the term-quality medical care, and a review of the preventive measures for bed-sore, edema and contracture. In regard to the fact that care
BACKGROUND
Persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) are at high risk for pressure ulcers (PrUs) throughout their lifetime due to decreased mobility, lack of sensation, and other physiological changes. The high prevalence and recurrence rates, and costs associated with PrUs in veterans with SCI indicate
To develop an experimental model and evaluate the effects of the magnitude and duration of pressure, the rat abdominal wall (25x20 mm) was subjected to compression either by a weight or by two magnets. In the weight compression tests, a steel plate was inserted under anesthesia into the rat
Ultrasound (US) is frequently used for evaluating inflammation of subcutaneous tissue caused by pressure ulcers (PUs), but color Doppler mode (CDM) helps to better identify inflammatory edema in subcutaneous fat and necrotic tissue in PUs. We report two cases where inflammatory edema in subcutaneous
BACKGROUND
Chronically hospitalized patients are often burdened with skin ulcerations, which may be persistent and even irreversible. Treatment with hyaluronic acid is widely used in the early phases of the ulcers to relieve symptoms and accelerate the healing process. The present study hypothesized
