Thermal burn injury from a wedding ring: An unusual case
We describe a case of a thermal wedding ring injury sustained during a welding accident. It is critical to understand the 3 zones of burn injuries when managing these infrequent cases. Furthermore, the dynamic progression that ensues a thermal burn will directly affect outcome. A case is presented along with a graduated approach to the management of such injuries.

Cancrum Oris (Noma): The Role of Nutrition in Management
We present a case of clinically diagnosed cancrum oris in a 2-year old child in sub-saharan Africa that was conservatively managed by wound care and hyperalimentation. As the underlying factor and cause of mortality from noma is the immune depression of malnutrition, the role of active nutrition or hyperalimentation in the management of noma is extremely important.

Old War Scar Revisited
We report a case of an 82-year-old male that presented with a painful fluctuating mass on the right arm localized to the site of an old grenade blast injury he sustained many years earlier. While the presentation of these cases may be variable, the significance of proper management of the wounds is essential to optimal patient outcomes. An aggressive course and poor prognosis is associated with Marjolin's ulcers that degenerate into squamous cell carcinoma. Early detection and aggressive treatment/management with wide local excision and prompt coverage yield the best results when treating patients with Marjolin's ulcers. (...

The Use of a No-sting Barrier Film Treatment Protocol Compared to Routine Clinical Care for the Treatment of Stage 1 and 2 Pressure Injuries in Long-term Care
This study aims to determine whether a no-sting barrier film (NSBF) treatment protocol is more effective than current physician practices for treating stage 1 and 2 pressure injuries in LTC. A retrospective cohort study of 129 residents from one LTC facility was performed after a six-month implementation trial of a NSBF treatment protocol. The six-month incidence rate of stage 1 and 2 pressure injuries was 9% and 38% respectively. There was a statistically significant reduction in healing time in those treated with the NSBF protocol. In summary, the NSBF protocol reduces healing time of stage 1 and 2 pressure injuries; thi...

Alsabri, Najib Tabal, Sara Younes, Abdulamagid Sherif, Richard SimmanAbstractKeloid scar, dermal benign fibro-proliferative growth that extends outside the original wound and invades adjacent dermal tissue due to extensive production of extracellular matrix, especially collagen, which caused by over expression of cytokines and growth factors. Although many attempts were made to understand the exact pathophysiology and the molecular abnormalities, the pathogenesis of kelo...

Patient Outcomes and Factors Associated with Healing in Calciphylaxis Patients Undergoing Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Publication date: December 2015Source: Journal of the American College of Clinical Wound Specialists, Volume 7, Issues 1–3Author(s): Norman McCulloch, Susan M. Wojcik, Marvin HeyboerAbstractCalcific uremic arteriolopathy, also known as calciphylaxis, is a rare syndrome of small vessel calcification of unknown etiology causing painful, violaceous skin lesions that progress to form chronic non-healing ulcers and gangrene. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can be used as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of these ulcers. However, due to paucity of cases, there is limited data on the clinical benefit of HBOT and identifying...
