Blood Vessel Density Measured Using Dynamic Optical Coherence Tomography is a Tool for Wound Healers

Rajgopal Mani et al.

Summary: Dynamic optical coherence tomography (D-OCT) is a new technique used to study substructures in the retina, skin, and its microcirculation. It can image vessel density and offer confidence in studying vessel growth during wound healing.

Efficacy of Topical Wound Oxygen Therapy in Healing Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Marissa J. Carter et al.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials on the use of topical oxygen therapy (TOT) as an adjunct therapy for Wagner 1 and 2 diabetic foot ulcers. The results showed that TOT is a viable treatment option for chronic diabetic foot ulcers in the absence of infection and ischemia.

Etiology, Epidemiology, and Disparities in the Burden of Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Katherine McDermott et al.

Summary: Diabetic foot ulcers are a preventable cause of morbidity in adults with diabetes, leading to functional decline, infection, hospitalization, amputation, and death. The lifetime risk of foot ulcer is increasing and recurrent ulcers are common. Amputation and mortality rates are high and linked to poor diabetes management. Prevention and early detection through multidisciplinary care are crucial to reduce morbidity and disparities associated with diabetic foot ulcers.

Diabetes and peripheral artery disease: A review

David Olubukunmi Soyoye et al.

Summary: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) refers to the occlusion of peripheral blood vessels in the limbs, often as part of systemic atherosclerosis. Diabetic patients are at higher risk of developing PAD, which can lead to complications such as diabetic foot ulcers.

Skin Perfusion Pressure Predicts Early Wound Healing After Endovascular Therapy in Chronic Limb Threatening Ischaemia

Yong-Joon Lee et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the predictive value of Skin perfusion pressure (SPP) for early wound healing in chronic limb threatening ischaemia (CLTI) treated by endovascular therapy (EVT). Results showed that post-procedural SPP with a cutoff value of 50 mmHg was capable of predicting early wound healing, with a significantly higher healing rate in patients with post-procedural SPP >= 50 mmHg compared to those with SPP < 50 mmHg.

The role of debridement in wound bed preparation in chronic wound: A narrative review

Deena Clare Thomas et al.

Summary: This study provided an overview of different types of wound debridement, summarized the advantages and disadvantages of various debridement methods, and explored the role of wound debridement according to wound bed preparation model. The findings highlighted the effectiveness of maggot debridement therapy in debriding chronic wounds.

Topical Wound Oxygen Therapy in the Treatment of Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Robert G. Frykberg

Summary: Oxygen is crucial for wound healing, and providing supplemental oxygen can enhance tissue repair in hypoxic chronic wounds. While hyperbaric oxygen therapy has not shown clear evidence to support its effectiveness in healing chronic diabetic foot ulcers, topical oxygen therapy has been proven to improve healing rates in clinical studies.
