Objective: To compare the ability of activated charcoal dressings with that of a hydrocolloid dressing to reduce the wound area of chronic wounds.
Method: Two separate randomised controlled trials (RCTs) were undertaken; both used the same hydrocolloid as the control. One RCT compared Actisorb (without silver) with the control on chronic pressure [...]

Objective: To investigate the threshold of transcutaneous oxygen tension (TcPO2) values in predicting ulcer healing in patients with critical limb ischaemia in a prospective study.
Method: 50 patients suffering from critical limb ischaemia with chronic ischemic ulcers or gangrenous toes were enrolled in this study between January and December 2008. Their [...]

Objective: To demonstrate that changes in demography, life expectancy and incidence of background diseases (including type 2 diabetes mellitus) during the period 2009-2020 will significantly increase the costs of wound care in Denmark.
Method: A simple activity-based equation, which was applied to Danish national statistics on medical conditions and key financial [...]

Objective: To compare the fluid-handling properties of a range of commonly used absorbent foam dressings. Results were analysed to generate broad estimates of wear time, using previously published data for the rate at which exudate is produced by various wound types.
Method: Test data were produced by an independent, accredited test facility [...]

ABSTRACT
Human processed lipoaspirate (PLA) cells are relatively easy to obtain in large quantities without cell culture. The purpose of this study was to present the possibility of using uncultured PLA cell autografts for the treatment of diabetic ulcers. An in vitro study was designed initially to determine the effect of PLA [...]
