There were 199 patients assessed for study eligibility; 80 (40%) patients did not pass screening. The main reasons for screening failure included reduction by ≥30% of the ulcer area (post debridement)...
Medicare is divided into four parts2.
In summary, the HPFD dressing prevented bacterial ingress for seven days, demonstrated significant removal of surface bacteria and sequestered the vast majority of the bioburden into the...
Although there were a few VLUs in groups 1 and 2 and one PU in group 1, the differences in utility between unhealed and healed states are similar for these wounds compared to DFUs.17 (The difference...
This study showed concurrent validity with reference to native PAGE analysis for identifying and quantifying biofilm components through in vitro, in vivo and clinical investigations, as well as...
The 96-well plate biofilm method described here may provide an efficient and cost-effective high-throughput tool for studying biofilm formation, quantifying biofilm biomasses, testing antimicrobials...
Real-life data on the treatment of patients with CVI are still quite scarce in the literature, notably regarding the compression treatment of venous oedema, or patients' perception and acceptability...
We have developed a novel in vitro wound biofilm model that mimics the non-surface attached spatial distribution of mature biofilms found in wounds. For this purpose, bacteria known to build biofilms...
This was a multicentre, open-label, randomised clinical trial conducted in 19 outpatient centres, geographically spread across the US. The primary objective of the study was to investigate the healing...
The correct choice of the ventilatory interface is essential to obtain good outcomes with NIV. In general, the nasal mask is better tolerated, while the oro-nasal mask produces a faster reduction of...
A total of 295 patients were recruited. Of these, 81 (27.5%) developed DRL. The density of incidence was 41 DRL/1000 days at risk. The flow diagram for the sample is shown in Fig 1. Sociodemographic...
