Prolonged wound discharge is a common postoperative complication of orthopaedic procedures and a risk factor for implant-related infection. Occlusive wound closure methods have previously been suggested to reduce or even prevent this complication. We performed a randomised controlled trial on 70 patients who underwent surgical treatment for metastatic bone disease involving the proximal femur at our centre between January 2017 and August 2018. At conclusion of the tumour resection and endoprosthetic reconstruction procedure, patients were randomised to either occlusive wound closure (n = 35), using the Dermabond Prineo-22 skin closure system, or routine wound closure with conventional skin staples (n = 35)...

The Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic is posing a serious challenge to human health. Burn victims are susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection leading to delayed recovery and even profound debilitation. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying COVID-19 and severe burn are yet to be elucidated. In our work, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified from GSE157852 and GSE19743, and the common DEGs between COVID-19 and severe burn were extracted...

Fish skin grafting as a new skin substitute is currently being used in clinical applications. Acceleration of the wound healing, lack of disease transmission, and low cost of the production process can introduce fish skin as a potential alternative to other grafts. An appropriate decellularization process allows the design of 3D acellular scaffolds for skin regeneration without damaging the morphology and extracellular matrix content. Therefore, the role of decellularization processes is very important to maintain the properties of fish skin...

Pretibial lacerations (PL) and pretibial hematomas (PH) are debilitating traumas among the elderly and infirm. The injuries are frequently grouped together despite differences in treatment and symptoms. Patients are known to have multiple contacts in health care, perhaps because of inadequate treatment. Despite the burden, financial costs have not been assessed. Calculate and compare the treatment costs of PLs and PHs for differences and provide economic incentives to treat and diagnose patients optimally. From linkage to ICD10 diagnoses, we analysed NordDRG product invoices generated by the treatment of the patients...
