A quantitative analysis of microcirculation in sore-prone pressure areas on conventional and pressure relief hospital mattresses using laser Doppler flowmetry and tissue spectrophotometry
Pressure ulcers are associated with severe impairment for the patients and high economic load. With this study we wanted to gain more insight to the skin perfusion dynamics due to external loading. Furthermore, we evaluated the effect of different types of pressure relief mattresses. (Source: Journal of Tissue Viability)

The conference season
It is the first of the two annual conference seasons. Like many aspects of 21st century life, we are inundated with choices of conferences and meetings, which appear to be of relevance to our clinical practices, educational and research interests. I know many of the UK readership have opted for the Annual TV Society meeting. After a number of years based in Kettering, this year it moved to the University at York. I am pleased to report there was an encouraging number of delegates, including many from the local Yorkshire region, who were treated to an excellent mix of speakers from a diverse range of disciplines. As an exam...

Evaluation of pain in patients with venous ulcers after skin grafting
Pain was assessed in patients with venous leg ulcers treated with either split-thickness skin grafts or conventional treatment to evaluate to what extent skin grafting reduces pain in this population. (Source: Journal of Tissue Viability)

Flaminal® enzyme alginogel: A novel approach to the control of wound exudate, bioburden and debridement
Abstract: A multidisciplinary panel of Woundcare experts of international repute was assembled to review the clinical evidence and advise on the classification of the Flaminal products. This is based on their exact role in wound management and is to be defined on the basis of clinical efficacy, evidence and utility. Experts of international repute from Australia, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and UK participated in this exercise. (Source: Journal of Tissue Viability)

Personalized prediction of chronic wound healing: An exponential mixed effects model using stereophotogrammetric measurement
Abstract: Study aim: Stereophotogrammetric digital imaging enables rapid and accurate detailed 3D wound monitoring. This rich data source was used to develop a statistically validated model to provide personalized predictive healing information for chronic wounds.Materials: 147 valid wound images were obtained from a sample of 13 category III/IV pressure ulcers from 10 individuals with spinal cord injury.Methods: Statistical comparison of several models indicated the best fit for the clinical data was a personalized mixed-effects exponential model (pMEE), with initial wound size and time as predictors and observed wound si...

Tissue Viability Society contributing to international debate.
On February 27, 2014 the NPUAP held “The Unavoidable Outcome: A Pressure Injury Consensus Conference”. The purpose of this meeting was to scientifically explore the multi-faceted issue of pressure ulcer unavoidability within an organ system framework, which considers the complexities of non-modifiable intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors.
