Topical Oxygen and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Use and Healing Rates in Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Oxygen delivery is a crucial element involved in wound healing and it is widely recognized that limited oxygenation can lead to a chronic nonhealing ulcer. A retrospective review comparing healing rates of diabetic foot ulcers utilizing Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) or Topical Oxygen Therapy (TOT) was performed.
Maggot Debridement
A wound is a break or damage in the surface of the skin and it can be accidental as well as surgical. Debridement plays an imperative role in healing a complicated injuries. There are various methods that are available and Maggot Debridement could be one of this. Maggot therapy is a type of biotherapy involving the introduction of live, disinfected maggots (fly larvae). The flies used most often for the purpose of maggot therapy are blow flies of the Calliphoridae: the blow fly species used most commonly is Lucilia sericata, the common green bottle fly.
It is an effective technique for debriding wounds that was used especially in the previous centuries.
Ingrown toenail
Reportedly about 20% of people who visit a doctor for advice regarding a foot problem have an ingrown toenail. The most common cause of an ingrowing toenail is not cutting your toenails properly, by cutting them too short or down the sides of your toenail, and wearing shoes which are not wide enough to fit your toes in their natural position.
