Such ulcers pose a high risk for metastasis; the 5-year survival rate of 40% to 69% suggests that improvement is possible with early diagnosis.Objective: To raise awareness and update education in the medical community regarding this manifestation of SCC.Methods: The authors performed a retrospective literature review specifically for SCC arising in the context of HS. A PubMed search yielded 81 articles reporting SCC in the context of HS from 1958 to November 2022, with a total of 123 cases. The authors' additional patient, who was treated in practice, is included as Case 1, bringing the total number of patients to 124.Results: Seventy-three percent of patients were male. The mean age at the time of SCC diagnosis was 53 years ± 10.25 standard deviation. The mean interval between HS diagnosis and SCC development was 24.4 years ± 11.33. Thirty-six percent of patients had metastatic disease. Of the 102 cases that included details on life and death, 58 were noted to have died; of those 58, 60% died within the first year following diagnosis.Conclusion: Given the poor prognosis of Marjolin ulcer, with rapid progression after diagnosis, frequent visual examination and biopsies with a high index of suspicion for HS are recommended to identify SCC prior to metastatic transformation and subsequent unresectable disease. If surgical intervention is performed in the management of HS, tissue should always be sent for pathologic examination.","PeriodicalId":23752,"journal":{"name":"Wounds : a compendium of clinical research and practice","volume":"35 12","pages":"E448-E462"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139567130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effective inflammatory markers may become important in the detection of diabetic foot infection.Objective: The goal of the research was to systematically assess the function of inflammatory markers in the detection of diabetic foot infection.Methods: Online databases including PubMed, SpringerLink, and Web of Science were searched. The quality of research and data was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. A random-effects model was used to compare changes in inflammatory markers between patients with infected diabetic foot (IDF) and patients with non-infected diabetic foot.Results: Ten studies with 785 participants were included in the systematic review. The study analyzed 3 inflammatory markers: white blood cell (WBC) count, C-reactive protein (CRP) level, and procalcitonin (PCT) level. The meta-analysis indicated that mean WBC count (standardized mean differences [SMD]: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.23, 0.79; P < .0001), mean CRP level (SMD: 1.05, 95% CI: 0.60, 1.50; P < .0001) and mean PCT level (SMD: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.36, 1.24; P < .0001) were higher in patients with IDF. The differences were statistically significant, but the funnel plots indicated the existence of publication bias.Conclusions: The meta-analysis further confirmed the significant association between inflammatory markers and diabetic foot infection. It also confirmed that WBC count, CRP level, and PCT level can be used as laboratory auxiliary indexes in the detection of diabetic foot infection, providing information for improved diagnosis and prevention.","PeriodicalId":23752,"journal":{"name":"Wounds : a compendium of clinical research and practice","volume":"35 12","pages":"425-432"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139567030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Punch biopsy specimens were collected and analyzed for biofilm, and fluorescence imaging was used to measure bacterial load.Results: Ten patients completed treatment, and 7 achieved complete debridement within a median of 2 applications (range, 2-8). By the end of the 2-week follow-up period, the mean ± SD reduction in wound area was 35% ± 38. In all 6 patients who were positive for biofilm at baseline, the biofilm was reduced to single individual or no detected microorganisms by the end of treatment.

{"title":"Targeted muscle reinnervation: a brief history of a promising procedure for effective management of amputation pain.","authors":"Brittany N Corder, Michael S Lebhar, Peter Arnold, Laura S Humphries","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Each year, 27.5% of the 150 000 people in the United States who require lower extremity amputation experience significant postoperative complications, including pain, infection, and need for reoperation. Postamputation pain, including RLP and PLP, is debilitating. While the causes of such pain remain unknown, neuroma formation following sensory nerve transection is believed to be a major contributor. Various techniques exist for management of a symptomatic neuroma, but few data exist on which technique is superior. Furthermore, there are few data on primary prevention of neuroma formation following injury or intentional transection. The TMR technique shows promise for both management of PLP and RLP and prevention of neuroma formation. Following amputation, transected sensory nerves are coapted to nearby motor nerve supplying remaining extremity musculature. Not only does this procedure generate increased myoelectric signals for improved prosthesis control, TMR appears to neurophysiologically alter sensory nerves, preventing formation of painful sensory neuromas. The sole RCT to date evaluating the efficacy of TMR showed statistically significant reduction in PLP. TMR is not limited to use in the setting of major limb amputation. It has also been used in the setting of post-mastectomy pain, abdominal wall neuromas, digital amputations, and headache surgeries. This article reviews the origin of TMR and provides a brief description of histologic changes following the procedure, as well as current data regarding the efficacy of TMR with regard to postoperative pain relief. It also seeks to provide a concise, comprehensive resource for providers to facilitate better discussions with patients about treatment options.","PeriodicalId":23752,"journal":{"name":"Wounds : a compendium of clinical research and practice","volume":"35 12","pages":"E433-E438"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139567131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One newer technique called SPFR has been used in the management of plantar forefoot ulcers.Objective: This case series reports the clinical results of SPFR for treatment of strictly plantar hallux IPJ ulcers.Materials and methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on patients that underwent SPFR procedure by a single foot and ankle surgeon from 2018 to 2023. The primary study outcome was to identify the rate and time of healing associated with SPFR for hallux IPJ ulcers. Only the initial surgery was evaluated for time of healing for the ulcer, healing rate, and complications. Subsequent surgeries were reviewed as well. Patient charts were further reviewed to determine the presence or absence of a postoperative complication.Results: A total of 17 feet from 17 patients were studied. The hallux IPJ ulcers healed in an average of 3.0 months. The average follow-up time was 26.9 months. Fifteen patients (88.2%) healed after the SPFR procedure. Five patients (29.4%) developed transfer lesions, and 7 patients (41.2%) developed postoperative complications.Conclusions: The authors believe that SPFR can be utilized in the treatment of hallux IPJ ulcers if both surgeons and patients are aware of the potential complications and limitations of this procedure.

The anchoring flap suture technique, which is commonly used for soft tissue-to-bone attachment in cases of injury, may be an alternative and effective approach. CASE REPORT This report describes the successful application of the anchoring flap suture technique to repair a wound with exposed bone in a 39-year-old female patient. She presented with a 7% TBSA wound of the left trunk following hip disarticulation. After 4 operations, a wound with exposed iliac bone remained. Given the compromised condition of the tissues surrounding the exposed bone, the authors opted to anchor a local flap directly to the exposed bone. Steady flap fixation was achieved using the anchoring flap suture method, resulting in complete healing of that wound. Remarkably, no short- or long-term complications associated with the flap were observed. Three months after hospital discharge, the patient regained mobility, walking on 1 leg with the assistance of a 4-legged walker. CONCLUSION The anchoring flap suture technique seems to be a reliable and effective treatment option, particularly in cases in which inadequate soft tissue precludes the use of traditional flap fixation using standard sutures.","PeriodicalId":23752,"journal":{"name":"Wounds : a compendium of clinical research and practice","volume":"21 1","pages":"E403-E407"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139299533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is characterized by local skin erythema, bullae, ulcers, necrosis, and scarring following a mosquito bite. Affected patients may experience IM-like systemic inflammatory reactions. SMBA mainly involves NK cells and has the potential to progress to NK/T-cell lymphoma or invasive NK-cell leukemia.Case report: A 7-year-old female was admitted to the hospital owing to recurring fever, skin allergies, and multifocal severe ulcerative necrotic skin lesions affecting both lower limbs. The authors primarily suspected bacterial infection, and debridement was insufficient to manage it. Pathological examination of residual skin tissues around the necrotic lesion revealed EBER-positive T cells. Eventually, the patient was diagnosed with SMBA complicated by bacterial infection based on diagnostic criteria and pathology findings. The patient responded well to timely antiviral and antibacterial treatment, with no deterioration during regular follow-up visits.Conclusions: SMBA is a subtype of CAEBV that is characterized by severe skin ulceration and is easily missed or misdiagnosed.
