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

TL;DR: An extensive non-systematic review was conducted using the PubMed and MEDLINE databases, limited to the English language as discussed by the authors , and the resulting evidence was shared by an international task force with different clinical backgrounds.

Practical context of enzymatic treatment for wound healing: A secreted protease approach (Review).
María Isabela Avila Rodríguez,David Meléndez‑Martínez,Cuauhtemoc Licona Cassani,José Manuel Aguilar‑Yañez,Jorge Benavides,Mirna Lorena Sánchez +5 more
TL;DR: The purpose of these discussions is to identify and propose the stages of wound healing in which SPs may be used as therapeutic agents to improve the wound healing process.

Pressure ulcers: the core, care and cure approach.
TL;DR: The three dimensions of Lydia Hall's 1964 theory-core, care and cure-are extensively discussed and linked with the practice of pressure injury management and it is hoped that this review will help community nurses understand the application of this nursing theory to the prevention and management of pressure Injury.

Protective and healing effects of apoptotic mimic-induced M2-like macrophage polarization on pressure ulcers in young and middle-aged mice
TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that M1-to-M2 macrophage polarization mediated by artificial apoptotic cell mimics, phosphatidylserine-containing liposomes (PSLs), would protect against PU formation and accelerate PU healing in young (2-monthold) and middle-aged (12-month-old) mice.

Remote Recognition of In-Bed Postures Using a Thermopile Array Sensor With Machine Learning
Zhangjie Chen,Ya Wang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, both ceiling-mounted and wall-mounted thermopile array sensing approaches are devised and compared to identify 9 typical in-bed postures using advanced machine learning models, and a preprocessing method and a synergistic feature extraction approach using integrated histogram of oriented gradient and principal component analysis are proposed.

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).
