Abstract:
Infection can hinder the process of wound healing, so it is important to begin antibacterial treatment quickly after a wound forms. Plasma activated water (PAW) can inactivate a variety of common wound infection bacteria. In this study, we compared the effects of PAW prepared with portable surface discharge plasma equipment and medical alcohol on wound healing in a mouse full-thickness skin wound model. The effectiveness of wound healing processes in mice was ranked accordingly: PAW treatment group > medical alcohol treatment group > control group. In order to further understand the mechanism of PAW in promoting wound healing, we tested the expression levels of the pro-inflammatory factors interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6, the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The results showed that PAW promoted the release of pro-inflammatory factors and anti-inflammatory factors from the wounds in mice, which allowed the mice in the treatment group to transition out of the inflammatory period early and enter the next stage of wound healing. The expression level of VEGF in the wounds of mice in the PAW treatment group was higher, which indicates that the microvessels around the wound in the PAW treatment group proliferated faster, and thus the wound healed faster. PAW biosafety experiments showed that PAW did not significantly affect the appearance, morphology, or tissue structure of internal organs, or blood biochemical indicators in mice. In general, PAW prepared via portable devices is expected to become more widely used given its convenience, affordability, and lack of side effects in promoting wound healing.

Abstract:
Background: Traditionally, the treatment of exposed tendon has required vascularised tissue coverage, usually with complex surgical intervention. The introduction of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has challenged this traditional reconstructive concept. Unfortunately, standard NPWT units are usually bulky, noisy and curtail the mobility and lifestyle of patients. The introduction of small, modern, lightweight, portable, single-use NPWT units have therefore revitalised the use of NPWT and provided a solution to the many problems encountered with the larger devices. Case series: This study highlights three cases of patients with complex lower limb wounds with tendon exposure who were successfully treated with single-use NPWT in an outpatient setting. The median time for complete wound granulation was 5–10 weeks. Minor sharp debridement of wounds was required to encourage granulation tissue formation and this was well tolerated in the outpatient setting. Conclusion: Portable NPWT units provide an alternative to surgical reconstruction in patients with lower limb wounds with exposed tendon. These devices can be utilised in a purely outpatient setting, thus avoid long-term hospitalisation. Older patients with high anaesthesia risk or who lack alternative reconstructive options due to vascular co-morbidities are the most appropriate candidates for this treatment option.

Abstract:
Morel-Lavallee (ML) lesions are closed degloving injuries characterized by post-traumatic fluid collection and nonspecific clinical features, such as pain and soft, fluctuant appearance. Though often misdiagnosed, they can be identified by analyzing the patient’s clinical trauma history, fluid collection in a typical location, and imaging findings. After diagnosis, various treatments can be attempted, from conservative treatment to surgery, depending on the condition of the wound. Acute ML lesions can be treated conservatively. If traditional compression therapy, such as using gauze and elastic bandage, is difficult to maintain due to the patient’s daily activities, negative pressure wound therapy may be an effective choice of treatment. Herein, we introduce an effective treatment case using a single-use portable negative pressure wound therapy device for an acute ML lesion.

Abstract:
Background: Wound infections result in considerable morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. Antibiotic resistance has complicated wound healing, and new, non-antibiotic-based treatment methods are being developed. Aims: To evaluate evidence on the safety, efficacy and real-world effectiveness of electroceutical devices (ECDs) that provide continuous electrical stimulation to wounds. Method: A systematic search was conducted to identify primary studies published between 2009 and 2019 that described therapeutic wound treatment using portable ECDs. Studies were included if the ECD delivered continuous electrical current directly to the wound area for the duration of treatment. Results: Of 171 citations identified in the search, 13 articles met the inclusion criteria and were analysed. Nine studies evaluated dressings embedded with zinc and silver particles that generated electricity electrochemically, and four evaluated electrode-based units with external batteries. ECDs were effective in healing complex, hard-to-heal wounds that had not responded to other treatments. Four studies showed that ECDs led to complete closure of wounds without complications, and in some cases healed wounds faster than standard of care (SOC). One study found that ECDs resulted in higher ratings by both patients and surgeons than SOC for the progression of wound healing and scar appearance. Additionally, three studies found ECD treatment was less expensive than SOC, due to patients requiring fewer dressing changes or nurse visits. Conclusion: ECDs appeared to be a safe, effective and cost-effective method for treating severe, complex and challenging wounds, including hard-to-heal wounds, surgical incisions and skin graft donor sites.

Abstract:
Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has been widely used in biomedicine during the last two decades. While direct plasma treatment has been reported to promote wound healing, its application can be uneven and inconvenient. In this study, we first activated water with a portable dielectric barrier discharge plasma device and evaluated the inactivation effect of plasma-activated water (PAW) on several kinds of bacteria that commonly infect wounds. The results show that PAW can effectively inactivate these bacteria. Then, we activated tap water and examined the efficacy of PAW on wound healing in a mouse model of full-thickness skin wounds. We found that wound healing in mice treated with PAW was significantly faster compared with the control group. Histological analysis of the skin tissue of mice wounds showed a significant reduction in the number of inflammatory cells in the PAW treatment group. To identify the possible mechanism by which PAW promotes wound healing, we analyzed changes in the profiles of wound bacteria after PAW treatment. The results show that PAW can significantly reduce the abundance of wound bacteria in the treatment group. The results of biochemical blood tests and histological analysis of major internal organs in the mice show that PAW had no obvious side effects. Taken together, these results indicate that PAW may be a new and effective method for promoting wound healing without side effects.

Abstract:
With the increasing demand for wound care and treatment worldwide, traditional dressings have been unable to meet the needs of the existing market due to their limited antibacterial properties and other defects. Electrospinning technology has attracted more and more researchers’ attention as a simple and versatile manufacturing method. The electrospun nanofiber membrane has a unique structure and biological function similar to the extracellular matrix (ECM), and is considered an advanced wound dressing. They have significant potential in encapsulating and delivering active substances that promote wound healing. This article first discusses the common types of wound dressing, and then summarizes the development of electrospun fiber preparation technology. Finally, the polymers and common biologically active substances used in electrospinning wound dressings are summarized, and portable electrospinning equipment is also discussed. Additionally, future research needs are put forward.

Abstract:
Introduction.The ingrown nail (onychocryptosis) is a disease that is common both among children and in adult population. Despite the fact that there is a large number of methods available for the treatment of ingrown nails, a large percentage of recurrence of the disease remains unconquered. Traditional methods of treatment today are often complemented by chemical matrixectomy, cryodestruction, electrocoagulation or laser destruction of the growth zone of the nail plate piece being removed. The purpose of all of these methods of treatment is the reduction of the recurrence of the disease. This study aims to examine the possibilities of using a portable diode laser scalpel for the treatment of ingrown nails in children.Materials and methods.In this study the authors compared treatment outcomes in patients with ingrown toenails treated with the original Winograd procedure (30 patients) with those treated with the same procedure complemented by the laser destruction of the growth zone (50 patients).Results and discussion.There was one relapse case in the study group (n=50, 2%), and two — in the control group (n=30, 6.7 %). The healing period of the postoperative wound amounted to 17.3±2.05 days in the study group and to 12.25±1.24 days in control. Pain VAS scores on the first day following the surgery were 6.2±1.24 in the study group, and 5.8±0.816 in control. Staphylococcus aureus was the pathogen responsible for the local infection process in most patients with ingrown nails.Conclusion. This study demonstrates that using the method proposed results in the reduction of the risk of recurrence of the disease from 6.7% down to 2%, increasing, however, the healing time of the postoperative wound from 12.25±1.24 to 17.3±2.05 days. This makes the use of the method proposed advisable in patients with: a stage III ingrown nail; an apparent local infectious process; a recurrent ingrown nail.

Abstract:
Objective: Despite treatment advances over the past 30 years, the societal impact of hard-to-heal wounds is increasingly burdensome. An unresolved issue is wound pain, which can make many treatments, such as compression in venous leg ulcers, intolerable. The aim of this review is to present the evidence and stimulate thinking on the use of electrical stimulation devices as a treatment technology with the potential to reduce pain, improve adherence and thus hard-to-heal wound outcomes. Method: A literature search was conducted for clinical studies up to August 2020 reporting the effects of electrical stimulation devices on wound pain. Devices evoking neuromuscular contraction or direct spinal cord stimulation were excluded. Results: A total of seven publications (three non-comparative and four randomised trials) were identified with four studies reporting a rapid (within 14 days) reduction in hard-to-heal wound pain. Electrical stimulation is more widely known for accelerated healing and is one of the most evidence-based technologies in wound management, supported by numerous in vitro molecular studies, five meta-analyses, six systematic reviews and 30 randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Despite this wealth of supportive evidence, electrical stimulation has not yet been adopted into everyday practice. Some features of electrical stimulation devices may have hampered adoption in the past. Conclusion: As new, pocket-sized, portable devices allowing convenient patient treatment and better patient adherence become more widely available and studied in larger RCTs, the evidence to date suggests that electrical stimulation should be considered part of the treatment options to address the challenges of managing and treating painful hard-to-heal wounds.

Abstract:
Information and communication technologies in health practices are known as mobile health. Mobile health (m-Health) is the use of portable electronic devices for mobile voice or data communication over a cellular or other wireless network of base stations to provide health information. Evidence suggests that the use of m-health offers new opportunities for population health. However, resistance to m-health among health professionals is considered to be a main barrier. Evidence shows that m-Health technology would grant patients the long-term support needed during treatment without jeopardizing patient autonomy. The practice of m-health requires a rethinking of the existing frames of reference and adoption of new frames of reference in health practice. This chapter is a descriptive study in which a quantitative technique was used to collect data. The study shows the potential scale and impact of m-health in accelerating the rate of patient education. Healthcare providers can maximize the benefits of electronic tools by educating themselves to better understand the potential uses, challenges, and benefits.

Abstract:
Few would debate that thoughtful advance care planning conversations between providers, patients, and patients’ loved ones reflect a respect for the right to direct one’s end-of-life care based upon personal values, preferences, and goals. Previous research suggests that advance directives and medical orders are the vehicles to enable patient wishes to be known. However, without ensuring clinician access to those documents, the chances that a patient will receive the desired level of treatment at the end of life diminish significantly. This chapter explores the impediments to accessing and acting upon advance directives and medical orders and suggests a comprehensive system that improves access to completed advance care planning documents for providers and patients. It reviews the successes with such a system in a state—West Virginia—and the positive outcomes with employing components of the proposed system with chronic kidney disease and dialysis patients.

Abstract:
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects 20–30% of the population, with an increased prevalence in industrialized regions. Some patients with NAFLD develop an inflammatory condition termed non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) that is characterized by hepatocellular injury, innate immune cell-mediated inflammation, and progressive liver fibrosis. In clinical practice, abdominal imaging, which reveals hepatic steatosis, is sufficient for NAFLD diagnosis if other diseases have been rejected. However, a liver biopsy is needed to differentiate NASH from simple steatosis. Therapeutic strategies used to treat obesity and metabolic syndrome improve NAFLD, but there is no specific treatment effective for NASH. The gut microbiota (GM) is composed of millions of microorganisms. Changes in the GM have a significant impact on host health. Intestinal dysbiosis is an imbalance in the GM that can induce increased permeability of the epithelial barrier, with migration of GM-derived mediators through portal vein to the liver. These mediators, such as lipopolysaccharides, short-chain fatty acids, bile acids (BAs), choline, and endogenous ethanol, seem to be involved in NAFLD pathogenesis. Given this evidence, it would be interesting to consider GM-derived mediator determination through omics techniques as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for NASH and to focus research on microbiota modulation as a possible treatment for NASH.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of plasma treatment on bacteria in liquid phases. We predict that the plasma gas can penetrate the liquid culture media and plasma treatment will efficiently kill the bacteria at unique time and distance parameters. It is also hypothesized that less stringent plasma treatment will negatively affect the growth rate of some species of bacteria and possibly their pathogenicity. The bacteria were exposed to hot and cold plasma at various time lengths and distance parameters. Our results indicated that 2 minutes of hot plasma treatment with the plasma torch 5 cm away from the liquid culture is effective in killing/sterilizing cultures of S. aureus, S. pyogenes, Salmonella spp, N. meningitidis, and E. coli. Five minutes of cold plasma with the probe immersed 1–2 cm inside the liquid culture were needed to kill the bacteria. The portable nonthermal plasma system can be used for infection treatment and wound healing applications affected by the microbes studied in this research [1–4].

While hemodialysis is traditionally performed three times weekly, several studies have shown improved patient results with increased treatment frequency and shorter treatment time. A more portable hemodialysis treatment would represent an improvement over current treatments by giving patients the ability to dialyze at their convenience, and more often for shorter treatment times.

Abstract:
Abstract Grade 91 steels have been used in power generation for more than 20 years in high temperature, high pressure applications such as steam piping, headers and tubing because it provides superior creep and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. The mechanical properties of the material are dependent on the creation of a martensitic microstructure, however incorrect heat treatment during manufacture, installation or repair can result in a weak ferritic or semi-ferritic microstructure which can cause premature component failure. Currently, components with incorrect, weak microstructures are identified using hardness testing; a manual technique which is prone to error. This work details a series of tests carried out at the University of Manchester to assess the suitability of multi-parameter magnetic testing for the identification of incorrect microstructures. The tests stem from a workshop organized by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) where three sets of samples (eight pipe sections, eight tube sections and eight unidentified tube sections) with different microstructures were circulated world-wide. The results of the work show that the magnetic measurement techniques employed in these tests have the potential to provide a basis for the development of a portable NDE system for the identification of incorrect microstructures in Grade 91 plant components. The developed system would enable fast scanning of components with very little surface preparation along with digital data storage, improving on current manual hardness testing.

Abstract:
Medical devices are migrating from hospital use to home use along with health professional users to lay users. New technologies, including Internet-Of-Things, lead home use medical devices to a new generation of easy to use, smart, portable, and communicable from anywhere. IOT technology enables the home use medical devices to seamlessly detect and connect home patient health status and health activities allowing the patients to remotely connect and share their health data to friends, family, and healthcare staff. Thus, home use medical devices with IOT connectivity play an essential role in assisting home patients to continue their medical care at home and monitor health activities, reducing the risk associated with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the first place. The devices empower the home patients to actively manage their health treatment and activities by themselves, either without or with minimum training experience and support. The targeted users of such devices are not limited to patients with chronic diseases but consumers who want to prevent them from serious illness and maintain good health. Accordingly, the success of the IOT home use medical devices also depends on the acceptance and adherence of the users to use the device as a part of their everyday lives. Developing medical devices concerning human factors to be safe and effective is crucial. Many studies contribute to providing design processes and methodologies in this regard. Furthermore, in the case of the IOT home use medical device development, engineers or designers must also understand the acceptance and adherence of the users toward the use of the devices in their daily life routine. Several studies coined the term as consumer medical devices bringing the consumer product development concept to use in this home use medical device development. Though several studies revealed factors influencing user acceptance of the devices such as convenience, ease-of-use, or usefulness, it still is difficult for engineers or designers who do not have expertise or experience in human factor research to integrate the knowledge with existing device development processes. This study proposes a T-A-C-V-I-U model linking relationships from IOT functions to device attributes, consequence, personal values, attitude toward using, and behavioral intention. The model aimed to analyze how device attributes would affect user acceptance. It was constructed from literature reviews on IOT functions, wearable and IOT device attributes, and factors influencing personal value and user acceptance based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Health Belief Model (HBM), and Hierarchical Value Map (HVM). The model would assist non-user research or less-experienced human factor designers to consider which IOT functions should be embedded on a home use medical device to gain user acceptance. Vice versa, it would help assess how determined IOT functions would influence targeted users' acceptance. Finally, the Design-for-user Acceptance of IOT Home use medical device (DfAIH), a design process dedicated for IOT home use medical device development, is proposed. The design process is constructed following the design-for-x framework. It provides a step-by-step design process to convey product development and validation using the T-A-C-V-I-U model to gain user acceptance.
