Antimicrobial polymer PHMB
The broad-spectrum antimicrobial biocide polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB; polyhexanide) kills bacteria, fungi, parasites and certain viruses with a high therapeutic index. Kantaraja Chindera and Coll. conducted this study in which they showed how the PHMB can work.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for the Treatment of Diabetic Foot
Diabetes is a disease in which patients have high level of sugar in blood. 15% to 25% of people with diabetes develop a foot ulcer in their lifetime. A multidisciplinary team from Health Quality Ontario performed this study in which they evaluated standard wound care plus hyperbaric oxygen therapy results in an improvement in ulcer healing compared with standard wound care alone.
