1. 1. Redox effects on neutrophils in wound healing conducted by wound dressings and hyperbaric oxygen

   Författare :Herman Sahlin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :neutrophil granulocyte; wound healing; wound dressing; reactive oxygen species; NO; hyperbaric oxygen; bacterial killing;

   Sammanfattning : The increased influx of neutrophils into chronic wounds results in increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO) and lipid peroxidation products (LPP), as well as a ROS-induced increase in protease levels. The NO and LPP impair the respiratory burst response of the neutrophils and reduce their capacity to kill bacteria and digest debris. LÄS MER

3. 2. Vacuum-Assisted Closure Therapy after Cardiac Surgery. Sternal Stability, Cost of Care, Learning Curve and Hemodynamic Outcome

   Författare :Arash Mokhtari; Thoraxkirurgi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Health economics; Vacuum-assisted closure; Sternum; Mediastinitis; Deep sternal wound infection; Cardiac surgery; Wound healing; Hemodynamics; Wound closure;

   Sammanfattning : Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) following cardiothoracic surgery is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication with high morbidity and mortality. DSWI is associated with a significant increase in the length of hospital stay and the cost of hospitalization. The socioeconomic impact of DSWI is considerable. LÄS MER

4. 3. The synthesis of dendritic hydrogels and inorganic nanoparticles and their application as antibacterial and imaging materials

   Författare :Yanmiao Fan; Michael Malkoch; Annelie Brauner; Mauri Kostiainen; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :antibacterial hydrogels; dendritic polymers; dendrimers; silicon nanoparticles; cellulose nanofibrils; drug-resistant bacteria; wound dressings; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Sammanfattning : AbstractThe overuse and misuse of conventional antibiotics has caused increased prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria, the infections of which cause high mortality and economic losses per year. It is therefore crucial to develop new technologies and treatments for infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria. LÄS MER

5. 4. Studying the healing and long-term outcomes of two partial thickness wound models using different wound dressings

   Författare :Matilda Karlsson; Folke Sjöberg; Moustafa Elmasry; Pia Olofsson; Christina Lindholm; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Safe and effective wound dressing treatments are important for proper wound healing. Such procedures therefore need to be evidence-based regarding the most important outcome measures such as healing time, less discomfort for the patient, duration of hospital care and, importantly, less scarring.

7. 5. Prevention of surgical site infections after lower extremity bypass procedures

   Författare :Francis Rezk; Vaskulära sjukdomar - kliniska studier; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antibiotic prophylaxis; surgical site infection; vascular surgery; lower extremity bypass; wound dehiscence; compliance; incisional negative pressure wound therapy; Hawthorne effect; healthcare professionals; observation; hygiene; adherence; patient experience; PICO-dressing;

   Sammanfattning : Abstract: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a common cause of morbidity following open vascular surgery. Numerous randomized controlled trials (RCTs), along with systematic reviews and meta-analyses of RCTs, have been conducted to compare incisional negative pressure wound therapy (iNPWT) with standard wound dressings above sutured incisions in the inguinal region.
