KEY FINDING: Significant improvement in decubitus wound healing was observed in the treated macaque compared to untreated macaques.

KEY FINDING: Foam cut out cushions (FCCs) are effective in preventing pressure injuries, particularly for users with tissue atrophy in the pelvic region, as they completely alleviate pressure from high-risk areas.

KEY FINDING: SVM_linear algorithm showed superior predictive ability (AUC = 0.904, accuracy = 0.944).

KEY FINDING: 26% of 1767 discharged SCI/D patients had ≥1 PI, with 59% being prevalent and 41% incident.

KEY FINDING: For participants able to actively change position, pressure mat parameters and graph-based analyses remained unchanged.

KEY FINDING: MPPT achieved a 100% closure rate for acute and chronic wounds.

KEY FINDING: CAP treatment significantly improves functional recovery after SCI in mice, as measured by the Basso mouse scale (BMS).

KEY FINDING: PRF treatment led to a maximum healing rate of 3.84% per day based on the PUSH score.

KEY FINDING: The patient developed an extradural abscess, which is a rare complication following electrical burns, requiring urgent surgical drainage and debridement.

KEY FINDING: Most Canadian plastic surgeons manage stage 3 or 4 pressure injuries, but not all perform both debridement and flap coverage.
