However, there is no legal maximum or minimum concentration limit on any herbal compound when these plant raw materials are used in processed foods. Legally, these processed foods are regulated only for harmful substances, and there is no other guarantee of their contents. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the concentrations of 12 herbal compounds (nodakenin, decursin, decursinol angelate, morroniside, loganin, glycyrrhizic acid, liquiritigenin, puerarin, daidzin, schisandrin, gomisin A, gomisin N) in commonly used plant raw materials, such as "Angelica Gigas root", "Cornus Fruit", "Liquorice Root", "Pueraria Root", and "Schisandra Fruit"; and also in 45 processed foods, using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Method validation was performed successfully using the parameters of specificity, linearity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), accuracy, precision, matrix effect, extraction recovery, and stability. The 12 herbal compounds were determined to be present in all the foods advertised as containing each ingredient, although in very low concentrations in some cases. Three solid samples labelled as 100% pure material from one herbal species also contained herbal compounds found in others, so that intentional or unintentional adulteration was suspected.Objective To provide 'in use' clinical data to support exudate management in patients with moderately to highly exuding wounds with bordered superabsorbent wound dressing with a silicone adhesive interface. Method This study was an open-labelled non-comparative study. Selleck CM 4620 Patients included in the study were selected by the clinical investigator(s) according to whether the patient required a dressing for the management of moderately to highly exuding wounds. Results The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical objective in relation to exudate handling (moderate to high) with a superabsorbent silicone border dressing (Zetuvit Plus Silicone Border; SAP silicone border dressing; designated RespoSorb Silicone Border in some countries). The SAP border dressing had met the clinical objectives relating to exudate management, affirmed by the health professionals with a yes response in 94% of cases. Additionally, the health professionals rated the handling of exudate as excellent/good (78%) and most (80%) repsing successfully controlled exudate and provided positive benefits when used in the treatment of patients with moderately to highly exuding wounds.Objective The superior wound healing properties and cost-effectiveness of TLC-NOSF dressings in the local treatment of chronic wounds have already been demonstrated by several randomised controlled trials (RCTs) at a high quality level. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of new TLC-NOSF dressings with polyabsorbent fibres in an unselected population of patients under real-life conditions. Method A large, prospective, multicentre, observational study with two polyabsorbent TLC-NOSF dressings (UrgoStart Plus Pad and UrgoStart Plus Border, Laboratoires Urgo, France) was conducted in Germany between July 2017 and December 2018. Main outcomes included wound healing rate, clinical assessment of wound healing progression, local tolerability and acceptance of dressings. Results A total of 1140 patients with chronic wounds of various aetiologies (leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, etc.) were treated with the investigated dressings in 130 centres, for a mean duration of 56±34 days. By the final visit, 48.5% of wounds had healed and 44.8% had improved. Similar results were reported regardless of wound aetiology or regardless of proportions of sloughy and granulation tissue at the start of treatment. According to the subgroup analysis by wound duration, the sooner the TLC-NOSF treatment was initiated, the better the clinical outcomes for all types of wounds. The dressings were very well tolerated and accepted by the patients. Conclusion These results are consistent with those from RCTs conducted on TLC-NOSF dressings. They complete the evidence on the good healing properties and safety profile of these dressings, especially in non-selected patients treated in current practice, and regardless of the characteristics of wounds and patients. They support the use of the dressings as a first-line intervention and until wound healing in the management of chronic wounds, in association with appropriate standard of care.Treating patients with hard-to-heal wounds can be a daily challenge for health professionals. A systematic approach is needed to establish accurate management goals and treatment options. This should include a complete wound assessment that takes into account the wound aetiology and characteristics, as well as the patient as a whole. The Triangle of Wound Assessment is a holistic framework designed to assess and manage all wound areas-the wound bed, wound edge and periwound skin. The framework can be used to guide health professionals when evaluating a wound, setting management goals and selecting treatment options. This article describes the use of the Triangle in clinical practice. It shows how a Spanish hospital implemented the framework and how this led to its inclusion in the diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) care pathway used in the region. The article concludes with three case studies describing the clinical outcomes achieved following implementation of the Triangle when managing wounds.Objective Children can have non-healing wounds due to a wide range of pathologies, including epidermolysis bullosa (EB), pilonidal disease and Stevens-Johnson syndrome, with some causes being iatrogenic, including extravasation injuries and medical device-related hospital-acquired pressure ulcers. Furthermore, paediatric wounds are vastly different from adult wounds and therefore require a different treatment approach. While there are numerous types of dressings, topical remedies, and matrices with high-tier evidence to support their use in adults, evidence is scarce in the neonatal and paediatric age groups. The purpose of this review is to discuss the basic principles in paediatric wound management, as well as to present new treatment findings published in the literature to date. The benefits and risks of using different types of debridement are discussed in this review. Various topical formulations are also described, including the need to use antibiotics judiciously.
