Dermatology Research

KEY FINDING: Increased gluteal muscle stiffness, represented by a higher shear modulus, leads to increased compressive stress, strain energy density, and average von Mises stress within the muscle.

KEY FINDING: Marjolin's ulcer can mimic necrotizing soft tissue infection, making diagnosis challenging.

KEY FINDING: Male gender was associated with a significantly increased risk of developing pressure injuries (OR:34.1; ­CI95:2.3–506.5, p = 0.010).

KEY FINDING: Skin had lower microbial diversity compared to pressure injuries (PI).

KEY FINDING: A tunable continuous pressure magnitude and duration monitoring approach is proposed that can account for the accumulated damaging effect of an applied pressure and pressure relief over a prolonged period.

KEY FINDING: Patients with decubitus-related osteomyelitis who did not undergo myocutaneous flapping had high rates of hospital readmission.

KEY FINDING: Simultaneous administration of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and antioxidant supplementation with Filipendula ulmaria extract significantly ameliorated the macroscopic and histopathological characteristics of the wound area and healing.

KEY FINDING: Metformin alleviated radiation dermatitis symptoms in mice compared to the model group and a positive control group (Gabapentin).

KEY FINDING: Repositioning schedules and avoiding positioning patients on pressure ulcers are crucial for prevention. The exact turning interval is not known and is derived empirically.

KEY FINDING: Higher body mass index is associated with increased risk of flap failure.
