Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Wound Care: Indications and Evidence
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is indicated for selected diabetic foot ulcers and radiation-induced soft-tissue necrosis. We review physiology, evidence, indications and contraindications.

Pressure Injuries: Prevention, Staging and Treatment
Pressure injuries are largely preventable. We summarise risk assessment, prevention strategies and stage-by-stage treatment based on the 2019 NPIAP/EPUAP/PPPIA guideline.

Diabetic Footwear and Offloading: An Evidence-Based Guide
Inappropriate footwear contributes to nearly half of diabetic foot ulcers. We review the features of medical-grade footwear, types of insoles and the role of total contact casting.
scar
Scar Treatment: Evidence-Based Methods from Silicone to Laser
Scars range from minor pigmentation to thick keloid. Following the international consensus by Mustoe et al., we summarise non-invasive, injection-based and laser options.

Nutrition and Wound Healing
Tissue repair demands sufficient protein, energy and micronutrients. We outline how much protein, which vitamins and which trace elements matter for wound patients.

Diabetic Foot Infection: Bedside Diagnosis and Empirical Antibiotics
Timely recognition of diabetic foot infection prevents amputation. We summarise the IDSA/IWGDF severity classification, empirical antibiotic choice and admission criteria.

Modern Wound Dressings: From the TIME Framework to Choosing the Right Dressing
The right dressing can shorten healing by weeks. We introduce the TIME framework for wound bed preparation and explain when to choose hydrocolloid, foam, alginate or silver dressings.

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Diagnosis and Treatment
Peripheral neuropathy is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes and a major risk factor for foot ulceration. We review symptoms, diagnostic tests and evidence-based therapy.

Glycaemic Control and Wound Healing
Uncontrolled blood glucose disrupts every phase of wound healing. We explain why HbA1c and daily glucose variability matter, and which targets are reasonable during active wound treatment.
