The use of biatain Ag in hard-to-heal venous leg ulcers: meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Venous leg ulcers are common, troublesome, and their failure to heal is often related to a heavy bio-burden. Ionized silver has both anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

DEep VEin Lesion OPtimisation (DEVELOP) trial: protocol for a randomised, assessor-blinded feasibility trial of iliac vein intervention for venous leg ulcers

Pilot and Feasibility Studies, 2021
Background Venous leg ulceration is a widespread, debilitating pathology with high recurrence rates. Conservative treatment using graduated compression dressings may be associated with unacceptable ulcer recurrence rates.

Nanozymes for Advanced Hemoglobin‐Based Oxygen Carriers: Applications in Blood Substitution, Wound Healing, Antitumor Therapy, and Beyond

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review explores how hemoglobin‐based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) combined with nanozymes create multifunctional materials that deliver oxygen while maintaining redox homeostasis. Beyond artificial blood substitutes, these constructs enable wound healing with light‐triggered oxygen release, cancer therapy through enhanced oxygenation and reactive ...

Microfluidic Valve‐Integrated Garment for Smooth Sequential Gradient Mechanotherapy

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present a soft wearable sleeve that delivers smooth, gap‐free compression using overlapping air‐filled actuators and tiny microfluidic valves. The system reduces bulk, lowers power needs, and uses a smartphone‐sized control box. It can provide sequential gradient compression, gradient pressure holding, and fast deflation, supporting more portable ...

From Negative Duplex to Phlegmasia in Minutes: Bedside POCUS Identifies Rapid Thrombosis Unmasking Underlying May–Thurner Syndrome

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Point‐of‐care‐ultrasound revealed an evolving acute noncompressible deep vein thrombosis (asterisks) in the left lower extremity veins (right panel) that was not evident on duplex ultrasound 14 min prior (left panel; asterisks demonstrate compressed veins). The patient was treated emergently and found to have May–Thurner syndrome.

The Effect of Use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) on Venous Ulcer Size in Comparison to the Usual Method of Dressing and Compression Bandage [PDF]

Ain-Shams Journal of Surgery, 2017
Aim: To compare the clinical efficacy of platelet rich plasma in the management of chronic venous ulcers (as regards the time of complete ulcer healing or shrinkage in size) with the conventional methods of treatment of venous ulcers (compression and ...

Synergistic Impacts of Co‐Exposure to Microplastics and Vibrio harveyi on the Immune and Stress Responses of the Big‐Belly Seahorse Hippocampus abdominalis

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
Synergistic effects of microplastic and Vibrio harveyi co‐exposure on big‐belly seahorse (Hippocampus abdominalis). Seahorses were exposed to microplastics (50 beads/L of 0.2 μm SMP and 1.0 μm LMP) and injected with V. harveyi (1 × 103 CFU/mL).

VenUS IV (Venous leg Ulcer Study IV) – compression hosiery compared with compression bandaging in the treatment of venous leg ulcers: a randomised controlled trial, mixed-treatment comparison and decision-analytic model

Health Technology Assessment, 2014
Background: Compression is an effective and recommended treatment for venous leg ulcers. Although the four-layer bandage (4LB) is regarded as the gold standard compression system, it is recognised that the amount of compression delivered might be ...
