Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to compare the differences in wound outcomes when the MolecuLight imaging procedure is used in combination with standard of care wound assessment in long term care and skilled nursing facilities. The main outcome studied is healing of ulcers after 12-weeks, along with other outcomes such as occurrence of infection, complications, and antimicrobial use. Medical records from the past were reviewed, where patients receiving the MolecuLight procedure were compared to those who did not.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the use of Omeza combination therapy with Standard of Care. The main question it aims to answer is: - Can Omeza combination therapy with Standard of Care enable chronic wounds to begin a healing trajectory in a 4-week period? Patients will be treated with: - OCM™ Wound Matrix - Omeza combination therapy - Standard of Care
Treatment of patients with non-healing wounds and trophic ulcers using local LED phototherapy with local transplantation of autologous dermal fibroblasts
Background Chronic non-healing ulcer is a common problem met in clinical practice and represents a burden to the patients. Chronic ulcer lacks growth factors (GFs) to promote the healing process and is frequently followed by superadded infections. Ordinary technique such as wound debridement and regular dressings cannot provide adequate results as these techniques cannot provide the necessary GFs. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) helps wound healing by releasing various types of GFs. The aim: to evaluate and compare the efficacy of PRP dressing versus traditional dressings in the treatment of chronic non-healing leg and foot ulcers of different etiology as regard cost of overall treatment and effectiveness (reduction of the size of the ulcer and safety of the technique). Methods This prospective study was performed on inpatients and outpatients in general surgery department, Zagazig university hospital from June 2017 to January 2019. Patients were divided randomly into two groups: group A received PRP dressing (N=22, 50%) and group B received conventional ordinary dressing (N=22, 50%).The mean follow-up period was 3 months after the last dressing. Patients treated with PRP at once-weekly interval for a maximum of 12 dressings while patients with ordinary dressings may need one dressing every other day for a maximum of 12 weeks. The reduction in the size of the ulcers (area and volume) in both groups was assessed using centimeter scale and Digital photographs before and after each session and during follow up period.
