HDNC (1-hydroxy-5, 7-dimethoxy-2 naphthalene-carboxaldehyde) for rapid recovery of gastric damage in incision wound model of rats
Publication date: Available online 9 August 2017 Source:Wound Medicine Author(s): Lubna Azmi, Ila Shukla, Shyam Sundar Gupta, Shravan Kumar Paswan, Padam Kant, Ch.V. Rao HDNC (1-hydroxy-5, 7-dimethoxy-2 naphthalene-carboxaldehyde) is a bioactive compound derived from Aegle marmelos (Rutaceae, ‘Bael’). The current study was conducted to conclude the effect of HDNC on mechanical properties and collagen content of stomach and duodenal wounds in rats. This experiment included wound creation in rumen (non-glandular part) & corpus (oxyntic) part of stomach and duodenum. These wounds were analyzed after 0, 5, ...

Classification of diabetic foot, revisited
Publication date: Available online 17 June 2017 Source:Wound Medicine Author(s): V.N. Obolenskiy, V.G. Protsko, E.Y. Komelyagina The authors propose a combined classification of diabetic foot syndrome, describing the localization (anatomical division of the foot), pathophysiological stage of the process in the bones, the clinical degree of deformation, the presence and depth of the wound and the infection process. This classification allows to determine the tactics of conducting the patient – the need for and type of surgical intervention, type and time of immobilization and unloading of the limb, indications for ad...

Evidence and practical wound care – An all-inclusive approach
Publication date: Available online 21 February 2017 Source:Wound Medicine Author(s): Keith F. Cutting, Richard J. White, Ron Legerstee The quest for evidence-based medicine leads one in search of best available evidence but what exactly is this? Convention guides us towards the putative gold standard of the randomised controlled trial (RCT) but this approach provides limited access to the gathering of evidence that is relevant to a ‘real world’ environment. Taking several examples from wound care including moist wound healing, negative pressure wound therapy and dressing wounds with gauze we show that if one takes...
