The role of a caregiver of a patient with venous leg ulcers in recurrence prevention: a case study
Tissue engineering, a novel approach in dermatology, has resulted in the development of scaffolds as skin substitutes that have accelerated wound healing. The aim of the present study was to synthesise acellular dermal matrix (ADM) as a dermal alternative and assess the effect of human epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the proliferation and migration of seeded fibroblast cells.

Use of a next-generation multilayered foam dressing in hard-to-heal wounds: a prospective, multicentre study
Hard-to-heal wounds present a significant healthcare challenge due to their complex aetiology, impact on quality of life (QoL) and consequent economic burden. The aim of this study was to assess the usability, safety and performance of a next-generation, multilayered foam dressing, ConvaFoam (Convatec Ltd., UK), in the management of indicated hard-to-heal wounds.
Usefulness of a negative pressure wound therapy system for stoma closure
Although wound infection rates after stoma closure have decreased, they remain high. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for stoma closure wounds can shorten healing time for many wound types. The PICO (Smith+Nephew, UK) wound dressing, a single-use NPWT system that can be used for outpatients, was introduced at the Japan Community Health Care Organization Hokkaido Hospital, Japan in November 2017. We evaluated the effectiveness of this dressing in stoma closure wounds.
