Maggot Infestation: Various Treatment Modalities
Publication date: Available online 30 March 2018 Source:Journal of the American College of Clinical Wound Specialists Author(s): Basil Sunny The 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 cutaneous myiasis. (Source: Journal of the Ameri...

The Adjunctive Use of Biologically Engineered Products in Plastic Surgery Practice
Publication date: Available online 31 January 2018 Source:Journal of the American College of Clinical Wound Specialists Author(s): R. Michael Johnson, Lucas M. Harrison, Spencer R. Anderson Biologically 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 woun...

The Death of The Kennedy Terminal Ulcer
Publication date: Available online 14 December 2017 Source:Journal of the American College of Clinical Wound Specialists Author(s): Michael S. Miller The concept of the Kennedy Terminal Ulcer (KTU) has been ubiquitous in attempting to explain the development of pressure based tissue injuries in patients with actual or presumed terminal conditions. The concept is problematic in that it uses factors other than pressure to explain the development and progression of pressure based tissue injuries, specifically the presence of a terminal condition. Based on the most current understanding of how pressure based tissue injuries...

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.

Placental Membranes for Management of Refractory Cutaneous Sinus Tracts of Surgical Origin: A Pilot Study
Publication date: Available online 28 September 2017 Source:Journal of the American College of Clinical Wound Specialists Author(s): Eric L. Johnson, Georgina M. Michael, Yeabsera G. Tamire Despite advances in surgical technique, postoperative complications may lead to refractory cutaneous sinus tracts or tunnels. Negative pressure wound therapy is difficult to apply in longer tracts with a narrow diameter opening and conservative treatment failures ultimately necessitate surgical revisions. The aim of this pilot study was a clinical utility assessment of two different commercial placental membrane products for refrac...

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 ...

Plasma Oxidative stress in patients with chronic vascular Cutaneous Ulcers
Conclusions Precise reasons why the association of diabetes and venous (but not arterial) ulcers was correlated with defective AO status in plasma are not known. Other data were also intriguing: diminished AO activity was observed in female patients, no significant differences in oxidant and values were found between patients with arterial ulcers or those with venous ulcers, no significant correlation was found between age and oxidant, as well as no significant differences were observed when evaluating oxidant/AO values and smoking habits.
