TLDR
Despite an increased number of therapies available on the market, none has demonstrated any clear benefit over the others and pressure ulcer treatment remains frustrating and time-consuming.Abstract:
Significance: The incidence of pressure ulcers is increasing due to our aging population and the increase in the elderly living with disability. Learning how to manage pressure ulcers appropriately is increasingly important for all professionals in wound care. Recent Advances: Many new dressings and treatment modalities have been developed over the recent years and the goal of this review is to highlight their benefits and drawbacks to help providers choose their tools appropriately. Critical Issues: Despite an increased number of therapies available on the market, none has demonstrated any clear benefit over the others and pressure ulcer treatment remains frustrating and time-consuming. Future Directions: Additional research is needed to develop products more effective in prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.read more

Solving the puzzle of Brown-Séquard syndrome.
TL;DR: Incomplete spinal cord injury is challenging to diagnose and treat as mentioned in this paper, and this overview of Brown-Sequard syndrome outlines key assessment and nursing considerations important to enhancing recovery outcomes. But it is difficult to diagnose complete spinal cord injuries.

Prevention of Tracheostomy-Related Pressure Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Chandler H. Moser,Anna Peeler,Robert J. Long,Bruce A. Schoneboom,Chakra Budhathoki,Paolo P Pelosi,Michael Brenner,Vinciya Pandian +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the effectiveness of interventions to reduce tracheostomy-related pressure injury in the critical care setting and concluded that hydrophilic dressings and foam collars decreased the incidence of trachostomy related pressure injury.

Effectiveness and Safety of Patient centred Care Compared to Usual Care for Patients with Pressure Ulcers in Inpatient Facilities: A Rapid Review
TL;DR: This rapid review compares the clinical effectiveness, safety and cost-effectiveness of patient-centred care versus the usual care in pressure ulcer management.
Journal ArticleDOI
YOLO-Based Deep Learning Model for Pressure Ulcer Detection and Classification
TL;DR: In this paper , a novel approach that uses YOLOv5, an advanced and robust object detection model, to detect and classify pressure ulcers into four stages and non-pressure ulcers was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychometric testing and evaluation of user acceptance of an automatic lateral turning device for the prevention of pressure ulcers.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured user acceptance of an automatic lateral turning device, using a self-developed questionnaire, and the overall response rate was 74.9% and the adjusted r2 was 0.607 for "general satisfaction" and 0.458 for "can replace manual positioning".

TL;DR: The immense economic and social impact of wounds in the authors' society calls for allocation of a higher level of attention and resources to understand biological mechanisms underlying cutaneous wound complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk.
TL;DR: The Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk (BSRS) as mentioned in this paper was developed to foster early identification of patients at risk for forming pressure sores by using sensory perception, skin moisture, activity, mobility, friction and shear, and nutritional status.

Honey as a topical treatment for wounds
TL;DR: Honey healed infected post-operative wounds more quickly than antiseptic washes followed by gauze and was associated with fewer adverse events, but it is unclear if there is a difference in rates of adverse events (very low quality evidence) or infection (low quality evidence).
