Pain Prevalence, Socio-Demographic and Clinical Features in Patients With Chronic Ulcers
Chronic wounds are considered a worldwide epidemic and pain is the most frequently symptom referred by the patients who have this type of wound. The aim was to assess the prevalence of pain in chronic wounds and relate socio-demographic and clinical variables to pain. This is an analytical cross-sectional study, carried out in Basic Health Units (BHU), Family Health Strategy (ESF) and in a university hospital in two cities of Minas Gerais. 200 individuals who had chronic ulcers of different etiologies participated.

Introduction to SKIN aging
Cutaneous science has seen considerable development in the last 25 years, in part due to the -Omics revolution, and the appreciation that this organ is hardwired into the body’s key neuro-immuno-endocrine axes. Moreover, there is greater appreciation of how stratification of skin disorders will permit more targeted and more effective treatments. Against this has been how the remarkable extension in the average human life-span, though in the West at least, this parallels worrying increases in lifestyle-associated conditions like diabetes, skin cancer etc. (Source: Journal of Tissue Viability)

A Retrospective Analysis of the Findings of Pressure Ulcer Investigations in an Acute Trust in the UK
The root cause analysis (RCA) process has been applied in this organisation since 2010 to investigate all severe pressure ulcers. A previous analysis of the findings from all RCAs completed during 2011-2013 identified actions for practice improvement. The current study reports the results of a further retrospective analysis following implementation of new evidence based investigation process. (Source: Journal of Tissue Viability)

Periungual and subungual congenital melanocytic nevus on the foot: a rare case report
A 5-year-old caucasian child is described with a congenital melanocytic periungual and subungual nevus on the right second toe. Histopathologic examination revealed a junctional nevus. Congenital subungual nevi in this location are rare. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first case of lesion on the right second toe to be reported in the literature.

Device-related pressure ulcers from a biomechanical perspective
Pressure ulcers (PUs) in the pediatric population are inherently different from those in adults, in their risk factors and aetiology, with more than 50% of the cases related to contact with medical equipment at the care setting. The aims of this study were to: (i) Determine the mechanical loads in the scalp of a newborn lying supine, near a wedged encephalogram electrode or wire, which is deforming the scalp at the occiput. (ii) Evaluate the effect of a doughnut-shaped headrest on the mechanical state of tissues at the same site. (Source: Journal of Tissue Viability)
