Pitfalls of Intralesional Ozone Injection in Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Case Study
Abstract: Although the history of ozone therapy dates back to the 19th century, its use has shown a rapid growth of interest in recent decades. Intralesional ozone injection is seldom performed and its safety has not yet been reliably assessed for the treatment of diabetic foot wounds. Herein, we describe a diabetic patient who developed severe foot necrosis and infection after receiving intralesional ozone injections for a non-healing wound.

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy With Instillation (NPWTi) Better Reduces Post-debridement Bioburden in Chronically Infected Lower Extremity Wounds Than NPWT Alone
Conclusion: It has long been realized that NPWT does not make its greatest impact by bioburden reduction. Other work has demonstrated that debridement alone does not reduce wound bioburden by more than 1 Log. Wounds treated with NPWTi (in this case with quarter strength bleach instillation solution) had a statistically significant reduction in bioburden, while wounds treated with NPWT had an increase in bioburden over the 7 days.

Venous Ulcers
This article presents an overview on some practical aspects concerning diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment. Duplex ultrasound investigations are essential to ascertain the diagnosis of the underlying venous pathology and to treat venous refluxes. Differential diagnosis includes mainly other vascular lesions (arterial, microcirculatory causes), hematologic and metabolic diseases, trauma, infection, malignancies. Patients with superficial venous incompetence may benefit from endovenous or surgical reflux abolition diagnosed by Duplex ultrasound. The most important basic component of the management is compression ...

The History of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT): From “Lip Service” to the Modern Vacuum System
Abstract: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a commonly used modality to facilitate tissue granulation and thus hasten the healing process. While the modern vacuum systems are quite sophisticated, their historic origins can be traced to ancient times. This is a historic review of the precursors to the current negative pressure wound therapy. (Source: Journal of the American College of Certified Wound Specialists)

Case Report on Calciphylaxis: An Early Diagnosis and Treatment May Improve Outcome
Abstract: This is a case report of a patient who presented to the wound care center with LE ulcerations that were subsequently diagnosed with calciphylaxis. She was an insulin dependent diabetic with renal disease, but unaware of her critical kidney status. She was treated with local wound care, a partial parathyroidectomy, and started on dialysis. She is currently healed with no recurrence of ulcerations. Her ulcerations were controlled with conservative wound care and no surgical debridement.
