Trends in pressure injury prevalence rates and average days to healing associated with adoption of a comprehensive wound care program and technology in skilled nursing facilities in the United States
CONCLUSION: Use of technology as part of a comprehensive wound care program has the potential to not only improve patient care and quality of life, but to realize considerable annual savings in additional PI out-of-pocket expenses (up to $1 410 000) and of clinicians' time (44 808 hours).PMID:38417821 (Source: Wounds)

VGG19 demonstrates the highest accuracy rate in a nine-class wound classification task among various deep learning networks: a pilot study
CONCLUSION: These findings indicate the potential for VGG19 to be the basis for a more comprehensive and detailed AI-based wound diagnostic system. Eventually, such systems also may aid patients and non-wound care professionals in diagnosing and treating wounds.PMID:38417818 (Source: Wounds)

Cisgender cellular tissue-based products improve wound healing
Wounds. 2024 Jan;36(1):21-22.ABSTRACTNeither the CTP sex effect of female CTP derived from cryopreserved human placental membranes, nor male CTP bioengineered from living human keratinocytes and foreskin fibroblasts has been described. Healing in wounds was examined to establish the CTP sex' s role in both males and females. Cisgender CTP wounds had better closure. Overall, male PC, PC-End, and CC rates over time were better than female rates. Outcomes were affected by access, etiology, and follow-up.PMID:38417820 (Source: Wounds)

An open-label, proof-of-concept study assessing the effects of bromelain-based enzymatic debridement on biofilm and microbial loads in patients with venous leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers
CONCLUSION: Preliminary data suggest that BBD is safe and that it can be used to effectively debride DFU and VLU, reduce biofilm and planktonic bacterial load, and promote reduction in wound size.PMID:38277629 | DOI:10.25270/wnds/23099 (Source: Wounds)
