Role of a topical hydrogel (Dermatix(®) wound care gel) in acute and chronic wound management: a case series of real-world experiences and expert opinion from Asia.

Moist wound healing, an established paradigm in the management of wounds, accelerates healing by maintaining an optimal microenvironment. Hydrogels, such as the Dermatix®*Wound Care (DWC) gel, possess fluid-retentive and absorptive properties and provide a moist environment for wound healing. We examined the effectiveness of DWC gel in acute and chronic wounds across various aetiologies, alone and in combination with other modalities, through a series of case studies. DWC gel promoted granulatio...

Structural and Mechanical Dynamics of Polymer Membranes Across Multilength Scales.

ABSTRACT Understanding the mechanical and structural evolution of polymer membranes under heat and strain is important for many applications. Conventional techniques, such as dynamic mechanical analysis provide bulk mechanical information but lack the spatial resolution to capture localized variations. Similarly, X‐ray diffraction spectroscopy effectively probes long‐range order but has limited capability in analyzing amorphous polymer structures. Herein, we reveal the importance of mechanical...

Comparing the Results of Sound Field Audiometry With Traditional Headphone-Based Audiometry: Implications for Assessing Hearing Aid Benefits Using Functional Gain.

Background and Objectives This study aimed to compare sound field audiometry (SFA) and headphone-based audiometry (HPA) during the hearing aid fitting process. Factors associated with the differences between the two methods were also investigated. Subjects and Methods We retrospectively reviewed 42 patients who underwent both unaided SFA and HPA on the same day. Results Hearing thresholds obtained in SFA were lower than those measured with HPA at 250 Hz (p=0.016). No significant differences...

Comparative Evaluation of the Effect of Custom-Made Anatomic Healing Abutment on Papilla Morphology and Gingival Aesthetics With That of Conventional Type of Healing Abutment: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background Gingival aesthetics has become inevitable in the overall success of implant-supported restorations. The interdental papilla plays a crucial role in attaining optimal aesthetics during the restoration of anterior edentulous regions with implants. The use of customized healing abutments helps to shape and condition the gingival tissue during the healing phase, thereby preserving its natural contours for the subsequent prosthetic stage. Objectives The primary objective is to compare t...

Peptidoglycan architecture dictates protein interactions, tissue tropism, and arthritis in the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi.

Lyme disease is a vector-borne illness transmitted by infected Ixodes spp. ticks. Dissemination of the Lyme spirochete—Borrelia burgdorferi—from the tick bite site results in a bi-phasic infection; the latter phase can cause severe musculoskeletal disease including arthritis. Lyme arthritis is an inflammatory disorder and maladaptive immune response to B. burgdorferi infection and its cellular products. One such product, which has been implicated as a key mediator of Lyme arthritis, is peptidogl...

Exploring the values and preferences of children and adolescents with obesity and their parents/caregivers concerning diet or physical activity interventions for weight management: Mega-ethnography of qualitative syntheses.

Introduction Obesity and overweight are a global health problem affecting over 2.6 billion people worldwide. Diet and physical activity, including structured exercise, are critical components in the management of obesity. This review of reviews explores the values and preferences of children, adolescents, and their parents/caregivers that influence engagement and adherence to dietary and physical activity interventions for obesity management. Methods Eleven electronic databases were searched...

Evaluating the potential to predict chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in carboplatin-containing treatment based on symptoms induced by prior cisplatin-containing treatment.

Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is a serious adverse effect of cisplatin (CDDP)- and carboplatin (CBDCA)-containing treatments. In this study, we aimed to assess the potential to predict CINV in subsequent CBDCA-containing chemotherapy based on symptoms induced by prior CDDP-containing treatments. Patients with thoracic cancer who received CDDP followed by CBDCA treatments (n = 52) were divided into a control group, including patients with total control (TC) of CINV during prior...

Cardiovascular Testing and Changes in Lipid-Lowering Therapy After Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring.

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring improves risk prediction in primary prevention and can lead to a reduction in atherosclerotic plaque progression via increased use of preventive therapies.1,2 Although the 2014 EISNER (Early Identification of Subclinical Atherosclerosis by Noninvasive Imaging Research) study found no increase in downstream testing in individuals undergoing CAC scoring, subsequent single-center studies suggested that CAC scoring may lead to increases in stress testing.3,4 Alt...

Anticoagulation in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis.

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is an uncommon complication of acute pulmonary embolism (PE), resulting in elevated pulmonary pressure and higher risk of PE recurrence. Therefore, lifelong anticoagulant therapy is mandatory in patients diagnosed with this condition. Despite anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) has always represented the standard of care in this setting, the spread of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) raised the question of the potential applic...
