International Wound Journal, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Negative‐pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is widely used in clinical practise to enhance wound healing; however, its biological effects on intact skin remain poorly understood. Given the expanding applications of NPWT, understanding its impact beyond open wounds is increasingly important.

Testing the Biomechanical Protection by Sacral Border Dressings in a Laboratory‐Based Model
International Wound Journal, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Pressure mitigating dressings are one component of pressure ulcer/injury prevention strategies. There are many such devices on the market, but little data to compare them by. Herein we share our results of comparing sacral border dressings' capacity to mitigate deformations due to lateral forces. A modified version of a published digital image

Microalgae as a Novel Therapy for Chronic Wound Healing
International Wound Journal, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Chronic wounds pose a substantial global health challenge, marked by persistent inflammation, infection, hypoxia, and impaired tissue regeneration. Traditional oxygen‐based therapies, including hyperbaric and topical oxygen treatments, often suffer from limited efficacy, high costs, restricted accessibility, and difficulties in achieving ...

Social Policy &Administration, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 298-309, March 2026.ABSTRACT Public participation often falls short of creating more legitimate and inclusive policies that address local needs. The literature highlights three main legitimacy criteria: agreements on who holds power to decide what and how, inclusivity of the process and its representativeness.
