Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy for Treatment of Keloid Scars
This study revealed that ESWT showed comparable functional outcome and POSAS patient and observer scales as compared to steroid injection for keloid scars. Treatment of keloid scars with ESWT resulted in significant decreases in collagen fibers and increases in MMP‐13 enzyme. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Evidence ‐based injury prediction data for the water temperature and duration of exposure for clinically relevant deep dermal scald injuries
This study used a porcine burn model to investigate the time and temperature threshold for clinically relevant deep dermal injuries for both immersion (long duration) and spill/splash (short duration) scald events. Scald wounds were created on the flanks of anaesthetised juvenile Large White pigs (27kgs). Acute tissue injury evaluations performed at 1 hour and days 1, 3 and 7 post‐burn (16 pigs) included: wound examination, biopsies and Laser Doppler Imaging. Up to 20 burn combinations were tested including: 50 to 60°C water for 1 to 10 minutes (immersion); and 60 to 90°C water for 5 seconds (spill/splash). Burn condit...

Wound healing outcomes; Using big data and a modified intent to treat method as a metric for reporting healing rates
This study presents a modified intent‐to‐treat framework for measuring wound outcomes and measures the consistency of population based outcomes across two distinct settings. Methods: In this retrospective observational analysis, we describe the largest to date, cohort of patient wound outcomes derived from 626 hospital based clinics and one academic tertiary care clinic. We present the results of a modified intent‐to‐treat analysis of wound outcomes as well as demographic and descriptive data. After applying the exclusion criteria, the final analytic sample includes the outcomes from 667,291 wounds in the national ...

Oxygen therapies and their effects on wound healing
Abstract Oxygen is an important factor for wound healing. Although several different therapies investigated the use of oxygen to aid wound healing, the results of these studies are not unequivocal. This systematic review summarizes the clinical and experimental studies regarding different oxygen therapies for promoting wound healing, and evaluates the outcomes according the methodological details. A systematic literature search was conducted using Embase, Medline, Web of Science, Cochrane, PubMed publisher, and Google Scholar libraries. Clinical and experimental studies investigating oxygen for wound healing were selected....

Endothelial Dysfunction May Promote Keloid Growth
This study included randomly‐selected patients with keloids who were assessed for surgical keloid treatment in 2013–2014. A series of non‐keloid patients admitted to the hospital was also recruited during this period. To measure endothelial function, all patients underwent digital reactive hyperemia‐peripheral arterial tonometry. Test results were expressed as reactive hyperemia index (RHI) and augmentation index (AI). In total, 57 patients with keloids and 19 non‐keloid controls were recruited. Keloid patients did not differ from the controls in terms of demographic or clinical variables, but had significantly w...

Optical Coherence Tomography for Assessment of Epithelialization in a Human Ex Vivo Wound Model
This study investigated OCT as a novel method for assessing re‐epithelialization in the human ex vivo wound model. Excisional ex vivo wounds were created, maintained at air‐liquid interface, and healing progression was assessed at days 4 and 7 with OCT and histology. OCT provided adequate resolution to identify the epidermis, the papillary and reticular dermis, and importantly, migrating epithelium in the wound bed. We have deployed OCT as a non‐invasive tool to produce, longitudinal "optical biopsies" of ex vivo human wound healing process, and we established an optimal quantification method of re‐epithelializatio...
