   Author : Emelie Öhnstedt; Mia Phillipson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : wound healing; non-healing wounds; L. reuteri; macrophages; wound assessment; Fysiologi; Physiology;

   Abstract : Non-healing wounds is a growing medical problem, often associated with pathological conditions such as diabetes and peripheral ischemia. A non-healing wound entails a large amount of suffering for the patient, and demands extensive health care resources. READ MORE

4. 2. Molecular and morphological studies on non-healing venous leg ulcers

   Author : Katarina Lundqvist; Lund Dermatologi och venereologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; alpha1-microglobulin; heparin binding protein; venous leg ulcers; inflammation; alpha-defensin;

   Abstract : Chronic skin ulcers are a major health problem and an increasing burden on health care providers. These ulcers have various underlying causes, such as venous or arterial insufficiency, diabetes, or vasculitis. Non-healing venous leg ulcers represent a condition characterized by excessive inflammation and presence of bacteria. READ MORE

5. 3. The Diabetic Foot. Costs, health economic aspects, prevention and quality of life

   Author : Gunnel Ragnarson Tennvall; Socialepidemiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Social medicine; wound healing; treatment outcome; risk factors; prevention and control; amputation; cost and cost analysis; Socialmedicin; samhällsmedicin;

   Abstract : The overall aims were to investigate the economic consequences of foot complications in diabetic patients, to measure the influence of diabetic foot complications on health-related quality of life (HRQL), and to analyse the cost-effectiveness of interventions to prevent foot ulcers and lower extremity amputations (LEA). The economic consequences of foot ulcers and LEA are large both in a short and a longer perspective. READ MORE

6. 4. Exploring immune cell functions and ways to make use of them

   Author : Evelina Vågesjö; Mia Phillipson; Michael Hickey; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : leukocytes; neutrophils; macrophages; regulatory T cells; chemokines; VEGF-A; hypoxia; ischemia; muscle; Islets of Langerhans; diabetes; transplantation; wound healing;

   Abstract : In addition to host defense, alternative functions of immune cells are emerging. Immune cells are crucial during healing of injured tissue, in formation of new blood vessels, angiogenesis, and also in maintaining the balance in inflammation having immune regulating functions.

   Abstract : The aim of this research was to clinically and experimentally evaluate the use of vacuum-assisted closure in poststernotomy mediastinitis after cardiac surgery. Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) is a new wound-healing therapy based on the application of a local negative pressure to the wound. READ MORE
