The dysfunction of wound healing in diabetes involves multiple healing processes by diminished inflammatory responses and delayed deposition of matrix components, wound remodeling, and closure. Furthermore, hyperglycemia increases the infection susceptibility of wounds. The wounds noted at distal
The aim is to identify determinants of recovery from intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) and to discover the effects of ICUAW on physical function and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after critical illness. This phenomenon has become more evident over recent years and still requires
Patients will be invited to participate on the day of hospital discharge. Once the informed consent has been signed, patients will be randomized with a 1: 1 ratio to conventional follow-up (cardiologist) or combined follow-up (ambulatory visit with cardiologist and geriatrics on the same day).
Although there has been a large amount of research published on contributing factors to pressure ulcers, there has been little research related to the role that bed linens play in affecting moisture, friction, and shear that may lead to development of unit-acquired pressure ulcers (UAPU) for
Pressure ulcers (PU) are skin breakdowns that often form after blood flow in the skin is reduced from prolonged and repeated exposure to externally applied forces. As many as 85% of individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI) report the occurrence of at least 1 PU since being injured. Despite the
Parallel-group, double blind (evaluation and analysis), randomized clinical trial (pilot study). The design was based on recommendations for conducting pilot studies (Thabane 2010).
The main objective of the MID-Nurse (Randomized Clinical Trial) was to analyze if a multicomponent nurse-led
A prospective randomized study to include 40 consecutive patients admitted to the general intensive care unit. The control group will receive nutritional support composed of a standard formula. The study group will receive nutritional support enriched with fish oil and anti-oxidants. The following
Pressure ulcers incur multiple risks to the patient. The disruption of the skin is a portal of entry for infection , which may remain localised to the site or become blood borne. A pressure ulcer can lead to protein and fluid losses from the wound exudate. Many authors have theorised the existence
Prospective, short-term studies in patients admitted for acute stroke have shown an increased risk of infections, bedsores, impaired functional outcome, slower rate of recovery, poorer rehabilitation potential and higher mortality in patients with a poor nutritional status. Sixteen percent of stroke
