... 15,16,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26] Dressings based on the Technology Lipido-Colloid with silver (Ag+) ions (TLC-Ag dressings) have been commonly used in the management of wounds at risk of or with clinical signs of local infection since 2006, and supported by both in vitro and clinical evidence. [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] In contact with wound exudate, the hydrocolloid particles of the TLC-Ag healing matrix gel form a lipidocolloid film that maintains a moist environment favourable to the promotion of wound healing. 27 Meanwhile the Ag+ ions confer to the dressing their anti-inflammatory properties and antimicrobial activity, leading to reduction of the bacterial load. ...

... It was pointed out that specialist activities should be implemented and expanded, and also that the therapy should be monitored and supervised through teleconsultation, which shortens the time and number of follow-up appointments at the patient's home. Banasiewicz et al. report that trained nursing staff can, independently or in an interdisciplinary team, conduct therapeutic activities in the patient's home [30]. Almost a decade earlier, research by Moffatt et al. on the experiences of patients treated for complex, difficult-to-heal wounds with NPWT at home revealed a number of positive psychosocial effects of using this therapy in this environment. ...
... Currently, there are few studies regarding the application of vacuum sponge drainage in the treatment of anastomotic complications, especially complicated cases. Similar to some studies, we used a homemade vacuum sponge system device to treat postoperative anastomotic complications [18,19]. In recent years, EVT has been increasingly used in the treatment of anastomotic complications following CRC surgery. ...

Irritable bowel syndrome is a chronic condition that was historically held to affect 7-21% of the general population, J Gastrointestin Liver Dis, March 2023 Vol. 32 No 1: [92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109] although more recent studies suggest that the prevalence is about 4% [5]. Given its symptoms, IBS negatively impairs quality of life and work productivity [6] and is often found in association with anxiety and depression, which may be due to a dysregulated gut-brain axis [7]. ...
... On the other hand, different dressings may be used in such a clinical situation. 20 Another option, dedicated for this type of wound is polyvinyl alcohol foam (PVA). Unfortunately, in the presented case the purulent exudation was too dense to be effectively suctioned by PVA foam. ...

... Autologous tissue, such as vein or epineurium, is promising as it would not provoke an immune response and can be harvested from an amputated limb at no additional cost or morbidity to the patient. Nerve capping with epineurium has been well studied in rats, demonstrating decreased neuroma formation in transected sciatic nerves with reduced fibrosis and less abnormal nerve architecture (53,54). Epineurial capping ( Figure 1A) has also been trialed in humans and has proven effective, resulting in significantly decreased nerve pain post-amputation when compared to epineurial ligature or flaps ( Figure 1B) (55). ...
