Integrated Image and Location Analysis for Wound Classification: A Deep Learning Approach [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
The global burden of acute and chronic wounds presents a compelling case for enhancing wound classification methods, a vital step in diagnosing and determining optimal treatments. Recognizing this need, we introduce an innovative multi-modal network based on a deep convolutional neural network for categorizing wounds into four categories: diabetic ...

Volume staging for arteriovenous malformation SRS treatment using VMAT

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Volume staging involves dividing the target volume into smaller parts and treating each part separately. In this study, the feasibility of volume‐staged stereotactic radiosurgery (VS‐SRS) on a linear accelerator using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and a frameless patient positioning system is investigated.

Appropriateness and pharmacoeconomics of surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis in open reduction internal fixation surgery practiced in a tertiary hospital compared to recommendations in the national center for disease control guidelines

open access: yesPerspectives in Clinical Research, 2019
Context: Surgical site infections are frequently observed despite the availability of national guideline on surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis (SAP). These infections increase patient morbidity, mortality, and direct and indirect health-care costs.

AR-Assisted Surgical Care via 5G networks for First Aid Responders [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Surgeons should play a central role in disaster planning and management due to the overwhelming number of bodily injuries that are typically involved during most forms of disaster. In fact, various types of surgical procedures are performed by emergency medical teams after sudden-onset disasters, such as soft tissue wounds, orthopaedic traumas ...

Speckle illumination SFDI for projector-free optical property mapping [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging can map tissue scattering and absorption properties over a wide field of view, making it useful for clinical applications such as wound assessment and surgical guidance. This technique has previously required the projection of fully-characterized illumination patterns.

Traumatic and surgical wounds [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ, 2006
Management of traumatic and surgical wounds has had a chequered history. For example, in 1346 at the Battle of Crecy, France, foot soldiers were issued with cobwebs to staunch haemorrhage caused by trauma. Two centuries later, the eminent surgeon Ambroise Pare (1510-1590) rejected boiling oil as a primary dressing after amputation, preferring a mixture

A redox-responsive hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel for chronic wound management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Polymer-based hydrogels have been widely applied for chronic wound therapeutics, due to their well-acclaimed wound exudate management capability. At the same time, there is still an unmet clinical need for simple wound diagnostic tools to assist clinical decision-making at the point of care and deliver on the vision of patient-personalised wound ...
