The study protocol included obtaining fasting blood samples and measurement of SBF at bilateral heels with localized heating of 42 °C for 30 minutes from all participants. Primary SBF outcomes were initial peak and plateau SBF normalized to baseline SBF. The primary outcome for insulin resistance was Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), calculated from fasting plasma glucose and insulin. Secondary outcomes included demographic and SCI information. Researchers used the Fisher exact test and Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test to compare the intergroup difference of categorical and continuous variables, respectively.Results: Sixteen adults completed this study (group 1, n = 7; group 2, n = 9). In comparison with group 2, group 1 had significantly higher HOMA-IR (3.90 ± 0.71 vs 1.45 ± 0.71), suggesting higher insulin resistance, and longer duration of injury (22.54 ± 7.24 vs 7.98 ± 6.58 years). There were no between-group differences in SBF or other secondary outcomes.Conclusions: HOMA-IR is a novel serum index associated with PrI history in persons with chronic SCI. Future longitudinal study is warranted to examine the role of insulin resistance in increasing PrI risk for the SCI population.","PeriodicalId":7489,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Skin & Wound Care","volume":" ","pages":"E12-E17"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143057697","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}

Research investigating unavoidable PIs is limited because there are few clear means of determining whether these injuries are unavoidable.Objective: To clarify the reality of unavoidable PIs by analyzing the state of PIs and blood test results in patients who were actively dying.Methods: From 2018 to 2023, 904 hospitalized patients at the author's medical center developed PIs. Of these patients, 710 survived and were discharged (survival group). Of the 194 patients who died after developing a PI, 111 died more than 8 days after onset (end-of-life group), and 83 patients died within 7 days of onset (actively dying group). The researcher analyzed patients' age, weight, and height, as well as various blood work parameters at the time of PI occurrence in the survival, end-of-life, and actively dying patient groups.Results: Approximately half of patients with PIs in the actively dying stage had cancer. Total protein, albumin, and blood urea nitrogen were significantly lower among the actively dying patients compared with those who survived. Aspartate transferase, alanine aminotransferase, white blood cell count, and C-reactive protein were all significantly higher among patients in the actively dying versus the surviving group.Conclusions: It is difficult to determine whether a PI is unavoidable. However, the author believes that clinical symptoms and blood test data can help make that decision.","PeriodicalId":7489,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Skin & Wound Care","volume":"38 2","pages":"86-89"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143466393","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}

These simulations are elucidated to facilitate translation of ideas into classroom and community laboratory activities to promote student learning.Conclusions: The literature supports that most entry-level healthcare profession programs report limited IWM education, emphasizing the need for effective and efficient use of IWM contact hours.

Of the 181 patients who died, 49 (60.3%) had SCALE. Logistic regression analysis revealed that greater variations in Braden Scale scores from admission to predeath (odds ratio, 1.188; 95% CI, 1.014-1.392; P = .033), higher Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group grades (odds ratio, 1.965; 95% CI, 1.241-3.109; P = .004), and elevated Charlson Comorbidity Index scores (odds ratio, 1.514; 95% CI, 1.237-1.854; P < .001) significantly increased the likelihood of developing SCALE.Conclusions: The findings suggest that the occurrence of SCALE may serve as a valuable clinical indicator for healthcare professionals to recognize that a patient is approaching the end of life. Consequently, the care approach should prioritize pain relief and promote comfort rather than wound healing in this patient population. These results provide evidence to support the integration of SCALE-related training programs for hospice care, which can increase healthcare professionals' awareness and understanding of SCALE. Ultimately, the implementation of such training programs may lead to more appropriate care for hospice patients with SCALE, enhancing their quality of life at the end of life.","PeriodicalId":7489,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Skin & Wound Care","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143057704","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}

They used the hue-saturation-value color space to analyze red color values and to detect and segment the wound region within the entire image. To assess the accuracy of the algorithm's wound segmentation, the authors compared the results against wound image annotations.Results: The algorithm performed impressively, achieving an intersection-over-union score of up to 0.85 and 100% intersection with the annotations. The algorithm effectively analyzed wound images obtained during clinical practice and accurately extracted the surface area of the documented pressure injuries. These results support the feasibility and applicability of this methodology.Conclusions: Accurate determination of wound size and healing supports decision-making regarding treatment and is essential to successful outcomes.

There is currently no approved treatment for calciphylaxis, contributing to its devastating impacts on quality of life. In this case series, the authors highlight instances of potentially misdiagnosed calciphylaxis in a cohort of patients and emphasize the importance of accurate diagnosis through multidisciplinary management approaches.The authors report on three patients treated at a large tertiary academic center between March 2021 and March 2023. Consent was obtained from all patients, including for the use of patient images. The first and second patients, a 75-year-old man and 62-year-old woman, respectively, both underwent an extensive course of local wound care as well as sodium thiosulfate therapy. The third patient, a 61-year-old woman, was treated with a combination of medication adjustments, lymphedema therapy, pulse lavage treatment, and cadaveric skin substitute. Tissue biopsy was also obtained in two of the three subjects to aid in the diagnosis of calciphylaxis. Unfortunately, these procedures lead to diagnostic challenges and misadventures, highlighting the risks associated with biopsy of calciphylaxis.This case series demonstrates how correctly diagnosing calciphylaxis relies heavily on providers maintaining a high index of clinical suspicion based on patient history, presentation, and risk factors. The primary goals of treatment for calciphylaxis include appropriate wound care, management of infection and pain, and close monitoring.","PeriodicalId":7489,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Skin & Wound Care","volume":"38 1","pages":"E1-E5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142998582","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}
