Treatment of Chronic Legg Ulcer in Outpatient's Department and i Primary Care - Wound Size and Inflammation
The purpose of this study is to investigate the rate of wound healing using sharp debridement using curette and to compare between such intensive treatment at hospital and treatment in primary care. A correlation between change in wound size and pro-inflammatory cytokines will also be made.

A Retrospective Study of the Effects of Molecular Diagnostics on Wound Care Outcomes
A retrospective molecular diagnostic review on wound care outcomes between two time periods. The time periods include June, July, August of 2008 and June, July, August of 2009. The retrospective review would analyze the days of healing during those two timeframes, upon the introduction of molecular diagnostic testing.

Phase II Open Randomized Clinical & Health Economic Trial Comparing Intralesional Antimony Therapy Versus Wound Care Management in Old World Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Patients in Northern Afghanistan
The rationales of a clinical trial comparing intralesional antimonial therapy versus wound care management in patients with old world cutaneous leishmaniasis (OWCL) are the following: 1. The effectiveness of the current mainstay treatment with intralesional antimonials for CL is subject to discussion, especially in L. major lesions which are predominant in Northern Afghanistan 2. The importance of wound care management in patients with OWCL has been emphasized by Gonzalez et al. (2008) and its efficacy is confirmed in the Kabul trial with L. tropica patients. Parallel to the clinical efficacy the trial investigates the cost-effectiveness and -utility of the treatment options under study.

Ischemic Foot Ulcers: Is Intervention Better Than Wound Care Alone? A Randomized Controlled Trial
You are being asked to take part in this study because your doctor has determined that you have an ischemic foot ulcer. This research study will compare two approved standard of care treatment modalities for the management of ischemic foot ulcers. The ischemic foot ulcer (wound) on your foot is a result of a blocked artery in your leg. The wound can sometimes be healed with wound care alone, which includes dressing changes with creams and removing (debriding) the dead tissue. Alternatively, the significant narrowing or blockage in one of the arteries in your leg can be treated with several endovascular treatment techniques including: - angioplasty, also called percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and/or - stent placement - atherectomy The hypothesis of this study is that early endovascular or surgical intervention in subjects with moderate arterial insufficiency and a non-healing foot ulcer results in a higher overall incidence of wound healing in a significantly shorter period of time.

The Effectiveness of Small Doses of Ketamine With Morphine on Decreasing Pain Responses During Open Wound Care
This is a randomized double-blind study to determine if the administration of a small-dose of ketamine (an anesthetic)added to morphine (an opioid) contributes to reducing pain intensity during open wound care procedure (WCP)in patients who have had a traumatic injury and are in an Intensive Care Unit. Patients will be randomized to receive morphine plus saline (a placebo) or morphine plus ketamine before the WCP. The second time the patient is scheduled for WCP (no less than 24 hours), patients will be crossed over to receive the treatment they did not receive the first time. It is hypothesized that patients who receive the combination of morphine and ketamine will have better pain control during the procedure than patients who just receive morphine.

Virtual Reality for Burn Wound Care Pain Control
The investigators propose to study the effects of virtual reality (VR) on patients' pain perception during burn wound care. Such variables include psychiatric diagnosis and standard pain coping (i.e. pain catastophizer vs. non-pain catastrophizer).Aims: The investigators intend to evaluate the use of virtual reality in pain distraction for burn patients undergoing burn wound care. To that end our aims are: 1) To determine if pain perception will be less during the portion of the procedure in which the patient is immersed in the VR session in comparison to the portion of wound care which will occur without VR immersion. 2) To determine if anticipatory anxiety will be less for the portion of wound care that includes the virtual reality in comparison to the portion without virtual reality. 3) To determine if current psychiatric diagnosis, especially acute stress disorder and depression, is related to higher pain perception and greater decrease in pain with the virtual reality distraction. 4) To determine if being a "pain catastrophizer" is related to higher pain perception and greater benefits from the
