Complex Wounds

Management of complex wounds with large skin defects presents a real challenge for orthopedic or reconstructive surgeons. We developed a simple skin stretching system associated with vacuum sealing drainage to examine the efficiency and complication. A total of 34 patients with different types of complex wounds were retrospectively included from January 2015 to March 2021. All patients in the study were underwent the treatment by 2 stages. The method was used to the wounds from 4.71 to 169.65 cm2 with a median defect size of 25.13 cm2. The median time for wound closure was 11.5 days (range: 5-32 days), although the median absolute reduction was 2.08 cm2/day (range: 0.15-25.66 cm2/day). Depending on the site of the wounds, the cause of the wound, and the rate of max-width/max-length ( W/ L), these complex wounds could be separately divided into several groups. There were statistically significant differences in the median value of the above variables ( P < .05 Kruskal–Wallis test). The results showed that different anatomical sites had different viscoelastic properties, the complex wounds caused by trauma were easier to close than caused by diabetic foot and the complex wounds in group A ( W/ L ＞ 0.5) were more difficult to close than in group B ( W/ L ≤ 0.5). No major complications were encountered in this study. In summary, the results of our study showed that the simple skin stretching system associated with vacuum sealing drainage was a safe approach for closure of complex wounds. Nevertheless, more attention should be paid to the viscoelasticity of the wounds to ensure closure and avoid undue complications when applying the method.

Extensive Damage

A skin stretching device (SSD) harnessing the viscoelastic properties of skin using incremental traction has been used in 20 patients with skin deficits in the upper extremity. Complications were few considering the extensive damage to the skin and included slight partial dehiscence, necrosis of skin edges, local infection and hypertrophic scars. All wounds healed without the need for further surgical procedures. Application of the SSD is simple and it can even be used at the bedside under local anaesthesia. It reduces the need for more complicated surgical procedures like grafts or flaps.

The Impact

ABSTRACTThe relationships among first language (L1) and second language (L2) phonological awareness and reading skills were examined in English L2 learners with a variety of L1s, specifically Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese (maximum N = 252). Longitudinal and concurrent relations between word reading and subcomponents of phonological awareness (i.e., syllable, onset-rime, phoneme, and, where applicable, tone awareness) were examined in kindergarten and first and second grades. The relationships between reading and specific subcomponents of phonological awareness were associated with the orthography being read, English or the L1. Phonological awareness subcomponents related to English reading were generally similar for the three English L2 groups, despite differences in the orthographies of learners’ native language. The findings support the psycholinguistic grain size theory with regard to links between phonological sensitivity and the sound–symbol correspondences used to read the specific languages.
