Maggot Infestation: Various Treatment Modalities
Publication date: 2016Source: Journal of the American College of Clinical Wound Specialists, Volume 8, Issues 1–3Author(s): Basil Sunny, Lubna Sulthana, Apollo James, T. SivakumarAbstractThe invasion of the skin and subcutaneous tissue by the larvae (Maggot) is known as Maggot infestation. It was found that farmers who are working in agricultural fields are more prone to this infestation. A case of 60 year old male patient with ulceration on leg for 10 days which was initially smaller and later developed into a larger wound, due to maggot larvae. This case report illustrates the importance and method of treating this cut...

The Adjunctive Use of Biologically Engineered Products in Plastic Surgery Practice
Publication date: 2016Source: Journal of the American College of Clinical Wound Specialists, Volume 8, Issues 1–3Author(s): R. Michael Johnson, Lucas M. Harrison, Spencer R. AndersonAbstractBiologically engineered products are medical devices offer support and structure for wound healing by providing a scaffold for cell growth and proliferation. In the field of plastic surgery, these devices are being used to improve the outcomes of surgical closure in selected patients. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the source, indications, mechanisms, and outcomes of commonly used biologic products in wound h...

Plasma Oxidative Stress in Patients With Chronic Vascular Cutaneous Ulcers
Publication date: 2016Source: Journal of the American College of Clinical Wound Specialists, Volume 8, Issues 1–3Author(s): Edoardo Raposio, Francesco Simonacci, Davide Gorni, Michele P. GriecoAbstractOxidative stress is hypothesized to be one of the main causes of the pathophysiologic alterations observed during impaired healing of wounds. In the present study, we aimed to measure systemic levels of free radicals in blood and anti-oxidant (AO) activity in the plasma of patients with chronic ulcers (venous stasis ulcers and arterial insufficiency ulcers) of lower extremities (CULEs). Oxidants and AO activity were measure...

Quantitative Monitoring Wound Healing Status Through Three-dimensional Imaging on Mobile Platforms
We present a mobile platform based wound 3D imaging app. The app is the only integrated measurement solution encompassing wound area and volume through low cost yet accurate 3D imaging. Extensive experiments show the app has 1.14% and 4.41% relative errors for wound area and volume measurement respectively, far exceeding currently employed clinic methods. In addition, non-invasive volume measurement methods currently use expensive industrial 3D (>$20K) cameras, but our solution provides cheap and accurate results.

Limb-Threatening Arterial Thrombosis in a Patient with Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis
We report a case of a 72 year-old male with a two-year lung-biopsy proven history of EGPA who presented with retiform purpura and patchy necrosis on his bilateral shins, which progressed to sharply demarcated, stellate ulcerations with surrounding erythema within two weeks. Laboratory work up revealed elevated anti-Cardiolipin IgM, rheumatoid factor, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein, although P-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (P-ANCA) and C-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (C-ANCA) were negative. Vascular studies revealed long anterior tibial and dorsalis pedis artery occlusion and severe small vessel ...

Managing wounds with exposed bone and tendon with an esterified hyaluronic acid matrix (eHAM): A literature review and personal experience
Publication date: Available online 7 May 2018Source: Journal of the American College of Clinical Wound SpecialistsAuthor(s): Richard Simman, Michel H.E. HermansAbstractThe loss of extracellular matrix in combination with the exposure of structures such as bone and tendon pose a major challenge; the development of granulation tissue and subsequent reepithelialization over these structures is extremely slow and often may not happen at all. Replacement of the matrix has been shown to significantly increase the chances of healing since, with revascularization of the matrix, a wound bed is created that may either heal by second...
