Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of occlusive dressings on collagen synthesis and re-epithelialization in superficial wounds
TL;DR: Collagen synthesis and re-epithelialization were increased in the wounds treated with occlusive dressings, and beneath both the oxygen-impermeable and the Oxygen-Permeable dressing.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Healing of Superficial Skin Wounds Is Stimulated by External Electrical Current
TL;DR: The results suggest that the proliferative and/or migratory capacity of epithelial and connective tissue cells involved in repair and regeneration can be affected by an electrical field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occlusive wound dressings to prevent bacterial invasion and wound infection
TL;DR: Two common skin pathogens, the nonmotile, Staphylococcus aureus and the motile, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, were used to challenge dressings placed on partial-thickness wounds in swine and lend support to the idea that dressings may protect wounds from invasion by pathogenic bacteria and demonstrate the need to evaluate their bacterial barrier properties in situ.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wound Healing and Aging
TL;DR: The ability of the aged to heal so well illustrates not that their healing processes are equal to those of the young, but rather that the authors' healing capacity is far in excess of what is needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A therapeutic approach to venous ulcers
TL;DR: Fibrinolytic therapy, aimed at reducing pericapillary fibrin and restoring proper physiologic exchanges between blood and tissues, may benefit some patients with extensive and nonhealing ulcers.
