Time ‐dependent changes in extra‐domain A‐fibronectin concentration and relative amounts of fibronectin‐fibrin complexes in plasma of patients with peripheral arterial disease after endovascular revascularisation
In conclusion, high levels of EDA‐FN and FN‐fibrin complexes could have potential diagnostic value in the management of PAD patients after revascularisation, predicting restenosis risk. (Source: International Wound Journal)

Closed ‐incision negative pressure therapy to reduce groin wound infections in vascular surgery: a randomised controlled trial
Abstract
Groin wound infections pose a major problem in vascular surgery. Closed‐incision negative pressure therapy (ciNPT) was especially designed for the management of incisions at risk of surgical site infections. The aim of this study was to investigate whether ciNPT is able to reduce the incidence of wound infections after vascular surgery.
Data on 132 consecutive patients, scheduled for vascular surgery with a longitudinal femoral cutdown, were collected prospectively. All patients were randomised either to the ciNPT group (n = 64) or the control group (n = 68) with conventional dressing. In the ciNPT group...

Prevention of pressure ulcers with a static air support surface: A systematic review
This study was a systematic review. Six electronic databases were consulted: Cochrane Library, EMBASE, PubMed (Medline), CINAHL (EBSCOhost interface), Science direct, and Web of Science. In addition, a hand search through reviews, conference proceedings, and the reference lists of the included studies was performed to identify additional studies. Potential studies were reviewed and assessed by 2 independent authors based on the title and abstract. Decisions regarding inclusion or exclusion of the studies were based on a consensus between the authors. Studies were included if the following criteria were met: reporting an or...

Functional characterisation of bioactive peptide derived from terrestrial snail Cryptozona bistrialis and its wound ‐healing property in normal and diabetic‐induced Wistar albino rats
In this report, it was isolated from the terrestrial snail Cryptozona bistrialis by enzymatic digestion and was evaluated for its in vitro wound‐healing activity in NIH/3T3 mouse fibroblasts cell line and in vivo wound‐healing activity in normal and diabetic‐induced Wistar albino rats. The C. bistrialis protein was digested by the papain enzyme, and 21.79 kDa peptide (Cb‐peptide) was purified by reversed‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography and identified by MALDI (matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization)‐TOF analysis. The isolated Cb‐peptide was characterised by various analytical methods. ...

Growth hormone ‐releasing peptide 6 prevents cutaneous hypertrophic scarring: early mechanistic data from a proteome study
Hypertrophic scars (HTS) and keloids are forms of aberrant cutaneous healing with excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition. Current therapies still fall short and cause undesired effects. We aimed to thoroughly evaluate the ability of growth hormone releasing peptide 6 (GHRP6) to both prevent and reverse cutaneous fibrosis and to acquire the earliest proteome data supporting GHRP6’s acute impact on aesthetic wound healing. Two independent sets of experiments addressing prevention and reversion effects were conducted on the classic HTS model in rabbits. In the prevention approach, the wounds were assigned to topica...

Systematic review of the use of Statistical Process Control methods to measure the success of pressure ulcer prevention
Successful prevention of pressure ulcers is the end product of a complex series of care processes including, but not limited to, the assessment of vulnerability to pressure damage; skin assessment and care; nutritional support; repositioning; and the use of beds, mattresses, and cushions to manage mechanical loads on the skin and soft tissues. The purpose of this review was to examine where and how Statistical Process Control (SPC) measures have been used to assess the success of quality improvement initiatives intended to improve pressure ulcer prevention. A search of 7 electronic bibliographic databases was performed on ...

Slow to heel: a literature review on the management of diabetic calcaneal ulceration
Abstract
The diabetic heel ulcer (DHU) represents a reconstructive challenge to clinicians and the multidisciplinary team alike. It is traditionally viewed as a condition that is inherently difficult to treat due to the intrinsic anatomical vulnerabilities of the heel. In addition to this, several factors are associated with poorer end outcomes – namely, that of major amputation. These include peripheral vascular disease, infection/osteomyelitis and the size of the ulcer itself. In light of the significant morbidity, economic burden and mortality seen in this cohort of patients, this review aims to explore current trea...
