Wound care in hard-to-reach populations: rough sleepers
Br J Nurs. 2024 Feb 22;33(4):S34-S37. doi: 10.12968/bjon.2024.33.4.S34.ABSTRACTPeople sleeping rough commonly develop wounds and other skin disorders. Wounds vary and develop for multiple reasons. They include acute wounds such as burns, infected injection sites, abscesses and cellulitis, as well as chronic wounds such as pressure ulcers; rough sleepers have a high prevalence of lower limb wounds. Skin and soft tissue infections are common, especially in people who inject drugs via subcutaneous or intramuscular routes. Emergency departments are often the pathways into healthcare for homeless people as traditional health an...

Compression therapy in dermatology
Actas Dermosifiliogr. 2024 Feb 19:S0001-7310(24)00156-X. doi: 10.1016/j.ad.2024.02.015. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe benefit of lower limb compression therapy is not limited to chronic venous insufficiency, or/and lymphoedema. Thanks to its anti-edema and anti-inflammatory effects, compression therapy is considered a beneficial adjuvant therapy to treat atypical wounds, inflammatory dermatoses, cellulitis, and traumatic wounds in the absence of contraindications. Strict contraindications are limited to severe peripheral arterial disease and decompensated heart failure. The variability of commercially available compres...

Multiple Retained Needles in the Neck of a Drug User: A Case Report
We report the case of a 43-year-old male having a medical record of human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C who presented to our department with a 3-day history of a febrile lateral neck swelling. He reported a history of repetitive intravenous drug use and previous abscesses that were surgically drained. We noted a left and tender 8 cm neck swelling with torticollis. Computed tomography scan showed a collected myositis of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in association to multiple metallic foreign bodies at the neck that were compatible with the aspect of broken needles. Imagery also showed a thrombosis of the ipsilate...
