Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose/Collagen Dressings: Review of Evidence and Recommendations.
Abstract: Healthcare systems are being challenged to manage increasing numbers of nonhealing wounds. Wound dressings are one of the first lines of defense in wound management, and numerous options exist. The oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC)/collagen dressing may...

Comparison of the effects of albumin and crystalloid on mortality among patients with septic shock: systematic review with meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis.
Abstract: This study aimed to compare the effects on mortality of albumin and crystalloid, used for fluid resuscitation among adult patients with septic shock, through conducting a meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis (TSA). Meta-analysis and TSA conducted at...
Interventions for managing medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.
Abstract: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a severe adverse reaction experienced by some individuals to certain medicines commonly used in the treatment of cancer and osteoporosis (e.g. bisphosphonates, denosumab and antiangiogenic agents) and...
How biomarkers reflect the prognosis and treatment of necrotising soft tissue infections and the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy: the protocol of the prospective cohort PROTREAT study conducted at a tertiary hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Abstract: Not enough is known regarding the prognosis and treatment of necrotising soft tissue infections (NSTIs). Mortality has been shown to be 25%-35%, with survivors coping with amputations and prolonged rehabilitation. This study will evaluate soluble...
Delayed hyperbaric intervention in life-threatening decompression illness.
Abstract: Arterial gas embolism is a catastrophic event. Bubbles in the arterial circulation may lodge in the brain and cause infarction in the affected area and/or in a coronary vessel causing acute myocardial ischaemia. There is no well-defined window of time beyond...
The Potential of Gelam Honey in Promoting the Proliferative Phase of Corneal Reepithelialization.
Abstract: Advances in molecular diagnostic medicine have allowed for more rapid, accurate, and comprehensive methods for identifying microorganisms in a chronic wound, which led to the de- velopment and use of a tailored topical antibiotic gel aimed at treating this...
Endothelial function is impaired in the cutaneous microcirculation of adults with psoriasis through reductions in nitric oxide-dependent vasodilation
Abstract Psoriasis is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Deficits in conduit arterial function are evident in patients with psoriasis, but potential impairments in microcirculatory...
A Double-Blind, Randomized Trial on the Efficacy and Safety of Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy in the Preservation of Erectile Function after Radical Prostatectomy.
Abstract: We evaluated the efficacy and safety of hyperbaric oxygenation therapy to preserve erectile function as part of penile rehabilitation after robot assisted bilateral nerve sparing radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. We performed a prospective,...
