To address this problem, scientists are developing new ways to treat infected wounds using specially designed nanomaterials ...

Wound infections, particularly associated with burns, are a serious health problem causing high morbidity and mortality. Aside from hygiene and basic dressings, antibiotics are the standard treatment ...

Burn injury disrupts the skin’s primary protective barrier, exposing underlying tissues to a diverse microbial milieu and creating a niche for rapid colonisation and infection. Management begins with ...

Slow-healing lesions — common in diabetics and burn victims — can lead to lingering infections that resist antibiotic ...

(a) The HRZn hydrogel was constructed by mixing HA, Rhein, and Zn 2+. (b) The use of HRZn hydrogel for treating S. aureus-infected burn wound. Burns affect over 100 million people worldwide each year, ...

A novel ε-poly-L-lysine-loaded sodium-alginate/gelatin hydrogel (PSG15) has shown exceptional promise in accelerating the healing of infected wounds. This multifunctional injectable hydrogel delivers ...

The Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index is a measurement of the systemic immune-inflammatory response (SII), which is used as both a diagnostic and predictive index for many diseases. Burns are a major ...

Burn wounds are notoriously prone to bacterial infection and typically lead to a larger amount of scar tissue than laceration wounds. In their article in APL Bioengineering, researchers from Boston ...

Silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) cream is primarily used to prevent and treat infections in second- and third-degree burn wounds. It kills a wide range of bacteria and yeast that can cause sepsis. It ...

In an innovative study, scientists at Mudanjiang Medical University improved a poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) nanofibrous membrane with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and curcumin to promote the healing of ...
