In a tropical country like Indonesia, renowned for its two seasons (rainy and dry season), a transitional period is observed between these seasons, aptly referred to as the transition season. During this transitional phase, the Aedes mosquito rapidly breeds, laying its eggs. Sunlight enhances this process, warming the air and puddles, thereby contr...

Background It is well known that diabetes mellitus (DM) affects health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in both younger (aged 18–64 years) and older adults (aged ≥ 65 years). However, to date, no study has compared HRQOL and its predictors between younger and older adults with DM in Indonesia. Such a comparison is important because the results can g...

Objective The prevalence of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) usage among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Indonesia is high.

Banana stem sap (BSS) and virgin coconut oil (VCO) is usually used for wound care treatment. However, to date, no study has been conducted to compare the effectiveness of these two therapies. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of BSS and VCO on diabetic wound healing in rats. Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 group...

Objectives: Previous studies have shown that diabetic foot ulcers are principally associated with improper foot self-care. Since appropriate foot self-care is essential to prevent diabetic foot-ulcers, any factors which can predict foot self-care behavior should be identified. However, until now, foot self-care behavior data and predictors of foot...

Clinicians and wound care nurses in Indonesia usually use Nigella sativa oil (NSO) gel and aloe vera (AV) gel to treat diabetic ulcers. However, there are no studies directly comparing the effects of NSO and AV gels on wound healing, so it is unknown which of these 2 plants is better at promoting wound healing in diabetic ulcers. If the comparative...

Gel aloe vera (GAV) is a good candidate for wound treatment for fisheries, since it is cheap, could be grown in coastal areas, and could reduce inflammation, infection and improve reepithelialization in diabetic wound. However, the effect of GAV on reducing matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 is still unknown. High level of MMP-9 is one of the reasons...

Introduction: Diabetic ulcers accompanied by ischemia is difficult to treat. Such ulcers require therapy that can improve the blood flow. Previous studies have revealed that two therapies could improve blood flow and accelerate the healing of diabetic ulcers; vibration and electrical stimulation (ES). However, it is unknown which of these two thera...

Penelitian menyatakan bahwa vibrasi 47 Hz dapat meningkatkan penyembuhan luka diabetes. Namun sampai saat ini belum diketahui apakah frekuensi dibawah dan diatas 47 Hz dapat meningkatkan penyembuhan luka diabetes. Oleh karena itu, tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui efek frekuensi vibrasi yang berbeda terhadap penyembuhan luka diabet...

One important reason why diabetic ulcer fails to heal is an increase of collagen degradation by matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). Vibration therapy is one of complementary therapies which can reduce inflammation and improve reepithelialization. However, up to present, there is no study that investigate the effect of vibration on reduction of MMP-...

Introduction: Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is considered as the best treatment for accelerating wound healing, including diabetic ulcer. However, this device is still not available in Indonesia. Therefore, the purpose of this study were to make NPWT by using modifi cation of breast pump, and to elucidate the effect of this device on accel...

Deep-tissue injury (DTI) is a unique type of pressure ulcer (PU) in which deep-tissue damage expands outwards to the superficial skin. DTI progresses rapidly into a severe PU, despite initially appearing as only a bruise or darkened tissue in the superficial skin. Although some DTI detection methods are available, there is currently no strategy for...

Deep tissue injuries (DTIs) can become significant problems because of their rapid deterioration into deep pressure ulcers. Presently, no animal model of DTI deterioration has been developed. By concentrating pressure and shear stress in deep tissues while minimising pressure and shear stress in the overlying skin, we produced an effective rat mode...

Re-epithelialization is an essential step of wound healing involving three overlapping keratinocyte functions: migration, proliferation and differentiation. While quorum sensing (QS) is a cell density-dependent signaling system that enables bacteria to regulate the expression of certain genes, the QS molecule N-(3-oxododecanoyl) homoserine lactone...

Assessment of blood circulation in pressure ulcers can be beneficial for predicting the severity of tissue damage and making the prognosis. Here, we evaluated the usefulness of laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) for assessing skin blood flow in pressure-induced ischemic wounds in rats in comparison with skin temperature measurements by thermography, w...

Suspected deep tissue injury (DTI) is a new category of pressure ulcer (PU), and defined as an ulcer that developed from a deep tissue (subcutaneous tissue) region and deteriorates towards the superficial skin. DTI is a serious clinical problem because it cannot be detected at an early stage and rapidly deteriorates to a deep PU. Consequently, ther...

Pressure ulcers that develop from deep tissue are known as deep tissue injuries (DTI). Although several mechanisms, including ischemic hypoxia, are attributed to pressure ulcer formation, the mechanisms involved in DTI formation are still unclear. Previous studies have suggested that hypoxia is involved in DTI in vitro, but it has yet to be determi...

Deep tissue injury (DTI) is difficult to detect in the early phase. Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) as a muscle enzyme could represent a promising indicator of DTI. However, serum CPK levels reflect the systemic condition rather than the local wound environment. Wound exudates can be indicative of the local wound environment. This study aimed to inves...

Deep tissue injury (DTI) is a pressure-related injury to subcutaneous tissues under intact skin. DTI has recently been a focus of enthusiastic debates among wound care specialists, particularly regarding how DTI should be categorized into the conventional pressure ulcer (PU) classification. Pathophysiologically, DTI is regarded as an antithesis (bo...

The evaluation of the skin state when it is healthy at the time of examination, but predisposed to disease, is based solely on the subjective assessment of clinicians. This assessment may vary from moment to moment and from rater to rater. We focused on skin texture and aimed to develop a new method to evaluate skin integrity of the elderly using a...
