The supplemented group used the combination PYCE daily for 4 weeks and followed the standard management (SM) in addition. A control group used only the SM. SM for all subjects included a healthy diet (low levels of NaCl, low sugar, low calories), vitamin supplementation (C, E, B), daily mild outdoors exercise, regular washing with neutral soap; the same non-clinical, non-specific hydrating cream (Nivea) was used once daily.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Sixty-three women completed the registry study. Thirty women using the PYCE combination and 33 women in the control group. The groups were comparable at baseline. No clinical condition was observed during the registry; no drug was used. There were no side effects or tolerability problems with the supplements. After 4 weeks, ultrasound elastosonography showed that skin elasticity significantly improved with the PYCE combination (P<0.05) without significant changes in the control group. In parallel, transcutaneous skin PO<inf>2</inf> increased significantly with PYCE compared to controls and transcutaneous skin PCO<inf>2</inf> decreased significantly compared to controls (P<0.05). This showed that skin oxygenation and nutrition improved with PYCE. Skin hydration also significantly improved with PYCE (P<0.05) in comparison with controls. Skin flow, indicating skin blood perfusion (thermoregulatory flow), assessed by laser Doppler flowmetry significantly improved over 4 weeks compared to controls (P<0.05). More specifically, the most superficial part of the flow, in the most superficial layer of the skin, corresponding to the nutritional blood flow, significantly improved with the combination PYCE compared to controls (P<0.05). Skin and tissue elasticity are crucial in surgery for healing, scarring, and wound closure. Reduced elasticity can lead to irregular or delayed healing. This preliminary concept study suggests that PYCE supplementation enhances skin elasticity, perfusion, and nutrition, with visible effects seen in just 4 weeks.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This preliminary, concept study indicates that skin elasticity, skin perfusion, and skin nutrition improved with the supplementation of PYCE and the effects of PYCE were visible after only 4 weeks. A longer observation period should be considered in future studies.

While it can extend patients' lives, it often introduces challenges that negatively affect quality of life. Convex skin barriers are commonly recommended for managing flat or retracted stomas and addressing irregular peristomal surfaces, such as creases or folds. Despite the variety of convex products available, there is limited evidence guiding their proper selection and use. This study explores the application of Esteem Body^™ with Leak Defence^™ Soft Convexity by Convatec, focusing on achieving stoma protrusion and peristomal skin flattening to protect against leakage in patients with an ostomy. Eighteen Italian stomacare nurses participated in three expert panel meetings. These sessions reviewed the latest literature on the five main characteristics of convexity, assessed abdominal planes and stoma profiles, and discussed the device's safety, efficacy, usability, and potential impact on patient outcomes. The expert panel developed an algorithm to guide the selection of appropriate convexity based on stoma and abdominal profiles. The proper use of Esteem Body^™ with Leak Defence^™ Soft Convexity can significantly improve clinical outcomes by optimizing leakage prevention, enhancing stomacare nurses' decision-making, and improving patients' quality of life.</p>","PeriodicalId":29847,"journal":{"name":"Minerva Surgery","volume":" ","pages":"657-662"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143024858","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}
