Wound Repair
Wounds repair can occur primarily through surgical intervention or by secondary (delayed) intention when infection is present.
Wound Bed Preparation: Future Approaches
Cellular and Biochemical Abnormalities in Chronic Wounds One of the barriers to healing and proper wound bed preparation consists of the cellular abnormalities within the wound (see Figure 1). Figure 1Schematic representation of wound bed preparation. In the context of wound bed preparation, how senescence of cells, their possible unresponsiveness to growth factors, and impaired healing are related becomes an...

Wound Bed Preparation
Although debridement is often a critical aspect of wound bed preparation, it is only part of continual concerted effort to improve the wound bed. Removing necrotic/fibrinous wound tissue. Wound exudates/inflammation.

Highlights from the The 17th Annual Symposium on Advanced Wound Care & 14th Medical Research Forum on Wound Repair May 2 to May 5, 2004 Disney's Coronado Springs Resort Lake Buena Vista, Florida
This year's annual Symposium was held at Walt Disney World, the most magical place on earth and a fitting setting for members of the healthcare community who work their magic with wounds. Against a backdrop of Mexican-themed buildings that served as the epicenter for SAWC sessions and activities, enthusiastic attendees absorbed the latest research and practice information available on a wide variety of wound care-related subjects. The full schedule of sessions and events also incorporated much-appreciated time for formal and informal networking. The following pages afford you a taste of the many educational and entertaining moments that punctuated a most successful gathering. We are already happily anticipating next year's conference. See you in 2005 in San Diego!

Regenerative Healing in Fetal Skin: A Review of the Literature
In mature skin, wound repair typically begins with hemostasis and inflammation. This is followed by a proliferative phase with reepithelialization, angiogenesis, and collagen production, and ends with the generation of a permanent scar. However, animal studies and clinical observations have shown that a different type of healing occurs in fetal skin in the first two trimesters of development. In early fetal skin, wounds exhibit a unique pattern of wound healing leading to regeneration. Notably, repair in the fetus takes place with little or no inflammation, faster reepithelialization, and no scarring. Although research in scarless fetal healing began several decades ago, the exact mechanisms of how this regenerative process takes place remain unknown. Knowing how the fetus will respond to potential injury from invasive diagnostic procedures or surgery is essential, especially given the development of less invasive fetal surgical techniques which could increase the number of fetal surgeries. In addition, insights into regenerative healing may provide information about how to accelerate postnatal wound healing as well as how to improve healing from a cosmetic standpoint. Future research directions include identification of the molecular controls responsible for scarless healing, with the intention that this new information will lead to improved therapeutic strategies for wound healing. KEYWORDS: wound healing, fetus, scar, embryo, regeneration

Hydrogel Wound Dressings: Where Do We Stand in 2003?
Among the many categories of advanced wound dressing products available today, hydrogels are popular because they are effective, comfortable, easy to use, and cost effective. With proper use, these agents provide control of wound surface hydration, sometimes absorbing excess exudate and often providing moisture. This review describes the chemistry of hydrogels, the physiology of their interaction with the wound surface, and their role in patient care. Hydrogels have been proven effective in facilitating repair of pressure, diabetic, vascular, burn, and other wounds, and they have supplanted saline-moistened gauze for many applications. Clinical evidence suggests that no particular hydrogel is significantly more efficacious than any other, implying that other factors such as cost and ease of use may guide clinician choice of product within this class of wound dressings.
