A single-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate vacuum-compression therapy (VCT) for the healing of diabetic foot ulcers. Eighteen diabetic patients with foot ulcers were recruited through simple nonprobability sampling. Subjects were randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control group. Before and after intervention, the foot ulcer surface area was estimated ste...

UNLABELLED Reliable measures of wound size are critical to wound healing research and clinical management. Measurement of full-thickness wounds is increasingly being done using digital images and photogrammetric software, such as VeVMD (Vista Medical, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada), to estimate wound volume. The reliability of VeVMD in determining wound volume is unknown. The present study sought ...

Background: The wound dressings perform a crucial role in cutaneous wounds management due to their ability protect and promote dermal epidermal tissue regeneration. Aim: the aim was evaluate effectiveness of using hydrogel/nano silver-based dressing vs. traditional on diabetic foot healing. Methods: Sixty patients with type-2 diabetes hospitalized for treatment were recruited from selected Surg...

Diabetic foot ulceration is a major complication of diabetes and afflicts as many as 15 to 25% of type 1 and 2 diabetes patients during their lifetime. If untreated, diabetic foot ulcers may become infected and require total or partial amputation of the affected limb. Early identification of tissue at risk of ulcerating could enable proper preventive care, thereby reducing the incidence of foot...

Homoeopathic medicines are also given along his conventional treatment. mother tincture (MT) Syzygium Jambolanum was used as an external application.Aim this study to demonstrate the effectiveness application add-...

M any aspects of managing foot infections in patients with diabetes have improved dramatically and are summarized in recently published guidelines (1–3). Yet, the basic methods of determining the causative microorganisms from these infections by culturing wound specimens have remained largely unchanged for over a century. Obtaining a proper wound culture specimen allows the clinician to define ...
