Orla Sherlock,Anthony Dolan,Rahma Athman,Alice Power,Georgina Gethin,Seamus Cowman,Hilary Humphreys,Hilary Humphreys +7 more
TL;DR: Ulmo 90 honey, a Chilean honey made by Apis mellifera originating from the Ulmo tree, has high antimicrobial activity and may warrant further investigation as a possible alternative therapy for wound healing.
The significance of surface pH in chronic wounds
TL;DR: Monitoring surface pH may provide a method of ‘measuring’ the condition of the wound bed and ultimately aid in determining the wound’s response to treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Management of Patients With Venous Leg Ulcers: Challenges and Current Best Practice
Peter Franks,Judith Barker,Mark Collier,Georgina Gethin,Emily Haesler,Arkadiusz Jawień,Severin Laeuchli,Giovanni Mosti,Sebastian Probst,Carolina D Weller +9 more
TL;DR: There are patients not receiving appropriate and timely treatment in the initial development of VLUs, effective management of their VLU and preventing recurrence once the VLU has healed, which complicates the guideline implementation process.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of Manuka honey dressings on the surface pH of chronic wounds.
TL;DR: The use of Manuka honey dressings was associated with a statistically significant decrease in wound pH and a reduction in wound size and Surface wound pH measurements may contribute to objective wound assessments, but further research is necessary to determine its exact contribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mupirocin resistance: clinical implications and potential alternatives for the eradication of MRSA
TL;DR: There is a strong association between previous mupirocin exposure and both low-level and high-level m upirocin resistance, which is of significant concern for patient care and infection prevention and control strategies as both these agents are used concurrently for decolonization.
