Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease (HD), is a long-term infection by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae or Mycobacterium lepromatosis. [4][7] Infection can lead to damage of the nerves, respiratory tract, skin, and eyes. [4] .

Leprosy (Hansen's disease) is a long-lasting, infectious global disease, which may lead to complications like injuries and development of wounds (ulcers), particularly on the feet. Long-term nerve and muscle damage impacts a person's quality of …

Four developments stand out: recognition of the importance of biofilms (and the need for a simple diagnostic), use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), evolution of topical antiseptic therapy as dressings and for wound lavage (notably, silver and polyhexamethylene biguanide) and expanded insight of the role of molecular biological ...

2016年11月7日 · Topical antibiotics probably reduce the risk of SSI in people with surgical wounds healing by primary intention compared with using topical antiseptics (RR 0.49, 95% CI 0.30 to 0.80; moderate-quality evidence downgraded once for risk of bias).

2012年12月1日 · This review, prepared by the International Wound Infection Institute, examines how new data and evidence generated in the intervening decade affects the original concepts of TIME, and how it is...

2012年11月12日 · The TIME acronym (tissue, infection/inflammation, moisture balance and edge of wound) was first developed more than 10 years ago, by an international group of wound healing experts, to provide a framework for a structured approach to wound bed preparation; a basis for optimising the management of open chronic wounds healing by secondary intention.

外用抗生素被視為可預防手術部位感染，故常應用於術後傷口照護上。 經由皮膚擦拭吸收藥物的方式被認為比口服或是直接靜脈注射來的有益處，因為經由皮膚吸收僅作用於身體局部部位，故導致全身性的藥物不良反應例如噁心和腹瀉機率較少。 此外，外用抗生素也被認為可降低細菌抗藥性 (細菌對於藥物的抵抗性)。 然而外用抗生素亦會發生不良反應，其中最常見的為皮膚過敏反應 (接觸性皮膚炎)，其會引起擦拭部位之皮膚出現皮膚發紅、發癢以及疼痛情形。 文獻回顧問題. 我 …

2022年1月3日 · A wound is considered any breach in the integrity of soft tissues in any site of the body. It is defined by size, depth and anatomical structures involved, margins, and etiology. For a correct management of acute wounds, a precise initial diagnosis is important,...

2017年7月1日 · This review found that topical antibiotics probably reduce the risk of SSI in people with surgical wounds healing by primary intention compared with no topical antibiotic, which equates to 20 fewer SSIs per 1000 patients treated with topical antibiotics and a number needed to treat for one additional beneficial outcome (NNTB).
