Wound Care
Nutrition and Wound Healing: What the Body Needs to Rebuild Tissue
A wound that stays open for weeks is not always a dressing problem. Building new tissue takes protein, energy, vitamins C and A, zinc and water. This article covers how much, from which foods, and when to see a doctor.
Scar Treatment
Scar Treatment: Evidence-Based Methods from Silicone to Laser
Scars range from minor pigmentation to thick keloid. Following the international consensus by Mustoe et al., we summarise non-invasive, injection-based and laser options.
Wound Care
Pressure Injuries: Prevention, Staging and Treatment
Pressure injuries are largely preventable. We summarise risk assessment, prevention strategies and stage-by-stage treatment based on the 2019 NPIAP/EPUAP/PPPIA guideline.
Wound Care
Diabetic Foot Infection: Bedside Diagnosis and Empirical Antibiotics
Timely recognition of diabetic foot infection prevents amputation. We summarise the IDSA/IWGDF severity classification, empirical antibiotic choice and admission criteria.
Neuropathy
Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Diagnosis and Treatment
Peripheral neuropathy is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes and a major risk factor for foot ulceration. We review symptoms, diagnostic tests and evidence-based therapy.
Diabetes Management
Glycaemic Control and Wound Healing
Uncontrolled blood glucose disrupts every phase of wound healing. We explain why HbA1c and daily glucose variability matter, and which targets are reasonable during active wound treatment.
