All patients were treated with NPWT, and the wound healing rate, healing time, and NPWT-related complications were observed.Results: The most common WCs were seroma and lymphorrhea (52.94%; nine cases), followed by wound infection (35.29%, six cases), fat liquefaction (23.53%, four cases), wound dehiscence (17.65%, three cases), and wound ischemia (5.88%, one case). The main locations for flap WCs were the vulva (64.71%), thigh (35.29%), and pubic symphysis (23.53%). One patient halted treatment; the remaining 16 patients all achieved complete healing with a mean healing time of 43.50 ± 17.92 days. One complication was associated with the use of NPWT: procedural pain (17.65%, three cases).Conclusions: The use of NPWT may contribute to accelerated wound healing after flap repair in vulvar cancer and is safe for clinical application.","PeriodicalId":7489,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Skin & Wound Care","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142817056","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 major factor contributing to impaired wound healing is bacterial bioburden. With the rise in antibiotic resistance and the slowdown in antibiotic development pipelines, alternative antimicrobial strategies are important. The objective of this systematic review is to determine the topical antiseptic therapeutic index values for bacterial species commonly isolated from chronic wounds. The therapeutic index is a ratio of the lowest concentration that causes mammalian cell cytotoxicity over the minimum bactericidal concentration. Higher values indicate greater safety and potential clinical benefit. A systematic literature search was performed in Medline and Embase, resulting in the inclusion of 37 articles that reported on the minimum bactericidal concentration in bacterial species commonly isolated from chronic wounds and their cytotoxicity concentrations in mammalian cells. The therapeutic indices for the topical antiseptics included in this study were generally low, with most ranging between 0.5-3.0. The highest therapeutic index values for Escherichia coli (5.49), Staphylococcus aureus (6.31) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (8.81) were achieved by hypochlorous acid, whereas the highest therapeutic index values for methicillin resistant S aureus (12.1) was achieved by polyhexamethylenebiguanide. Antibiotic stewardship principles may need to be applied to topical antiseptics due to some isolated evidence of topical antiseptic resistance and cross-resistance to antibiotics. The choice of antiseptic should not be made solely based on therapeutic index values, but individualized to the patient, with consideration for the wound healing condition that may include covert infection.","PeriodicalId":7489,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Skin & Wound Care","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142360938","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}

However, patients may experience wound complications and a relatively long recovery period after operation. In this case series, the researchers investigated the effectiveness of systematic wound management for wound healing after minimally invasive treatment of AO.From January 2016 to December 2021, 64 patients with AO underwent systematic wound management after minimally invasive treatment. Systematic wound management included three consecutive steps of wound irrigation with 0.9% sodium chloride, suction drainage, and compression dressing. The researchers retrospectively evaluated wound healing results and recorded complications. Of the patients, 60 (93.8%) had good primary wound healing results, 1 (1.5%) developed a hematoma, and 3 (4.7%) had partial epidermis necrosis. The hematoma was easily evacuated, and the partial epidermis necrosis recovered spontaneously without obvious scarring. No other adverse effects were observed.The results of this case series indicate that systematic wound management is reliable and practical and provides good wound healing results after minimally invasive treatment of AO.","PeriodicalId":7489,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Skin & Wound Care","volume":"37 10","pages":"545-549"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142556891","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}

Globally, the rise in malnutrition and diet-related diseases is contributing to increased rates of illness and disability. Populations in food deserts and those experiencing food insecurity are particularly at risk. Being at risk for or having malnutrition associated with chronic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease can increase the incidence of wounds. Healthcare disparities and varied clinical outcomes among ethnic minorities further contribute to these challenges. Research indicates that racial and ethnic minorities experience a higher prevalence and severity of wounds, including pressure injuries. Detecting early-stage wounds in individuals with darker skin tones can be difficult, adding to the disparities.Culturally appropriate nutrition interventions are essential in addressing these health inequities because tailored approaches tend to be more effective than uniform strategies. Understanding diverse dietary patterns and incorporating cultural food preferences into care plans can improve patient adherence and outcomes. Promoting equity in wound care through culturally sensitive practices helps to foster respect, dignity, and trust within healthcare settings, particularly for minority populations.In this review, the authors highlight the need for inclusive interventions that provide culturally aligned nutrition, supporting patients' clinical and holistic well-being.","PeriodicalId":7489,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Skin & Wound Care","volume":"37 10","pages":"536-543"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142556898","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}

Current development of advanced wound care therapies generally focuses on addressing a single aspect of this biological process that can result in delayed or ineffective wound healing. When patients present with further systemic and local confounding pathologies, it can result in painful, chronic wounds that are especially challenging to treat.In this case report, the authors demonstrate how treatment with a novel multimodal wound matrix expedited healing and decreased pain in two patients who had each been unresponsive to treatment with advanced modalities for more than 7 months. The first patient had factor V Leiden, and the second patient had sickle cell disease. Use of a once-weekly treatment protocol with the multimodal wound matrix, combined with sharp debridement when deemed clinically necessary, resulted in elimination of pain and expedited wound healing to closure. The wound matrix's omega fatty acid-based formulation is designed to target multiple factors common among hard-to-heal wounds that when not addressed can adversely inhibit the wound-healing cascade.","PeriodicalId":7489,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Skin & Wound Care","volume":" ","pages":"550-554"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141992241","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}
