Smart Wound Dressings for Diabetic Chronic Wounds [PDF]
Bioengineering, 2018 Given their severity and non-healing nature, diabetic chronic wounds are a significant concern to the 30.3 million Americans diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (2015). Peripheral arterial diseases, neuropathy, and infection contribute to the development of these wounds, which lead to an increased incidence of lower extremity amputations.

Inflammation in Chronic Wounds [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016 Non-healing chronic wounds present a major biological, psychological, social, and financial burden on both individual patients and the broader health system. Pathologically extensive inflammation plays a major role in the disruption of the normal healing cascade.

The Impact of Prolonged Inflammation on Wound Healing
Biomedicines, 2022 The treatment of chronic wounds still challenges modern medicine because of these wounds’ heterogenic pathophysiology. Processes such as inflammation, ischemia and bacterial infection play major roles in the progression of a chronic wound.

Nutrition and Chronic Wounds [PDF]
Advances in Wound Care, 2014 Significance: Nutrition is one of the most basic of medical issues and is often ignored as a problem in the management of our chronic wound patients. Unfortunately, malnutrition is widespread in our geriatric patients even in nursing homes in developed countries.

Advances of hydrogel combined with stem cells in promoting chronic wound healing
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2022 Wounds can be divided into two categories, acute and chronic. Acute wounds heal through the normal wound healing process. However, chronic wounds take longer to heal, leading to inflammation, pain, serious complications, and an economic burden of ...
