Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a gold treatment method in older men who develop lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) which are caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). The objective of the study was to assess the impact of BPH surgical treatment with TURP method on the quality of life, as a consequence of urinary symptoms.

to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of one-shot dilation (OSD) in modified supine position percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).

In a multi-centre observational study the wound healing-promoting effect, compati-bility and handling of the new TenderWet plus wound dressing pad in the daily routine of hospitals or physician‘s practices were investigated. 170 patients, suffering from predominantly chronic wounds such as leg and decubital ulcers, were treated. The wounds had persisted for fi ve months on average at the inclusion examination.

In conclusion, using the new generation of chlorhexidine silver sulfadiazine-coated catheters was associated with a strong trend toward reduction in infection rates of central venous catheters

This study demonstrates that the second-generation antiseptic catheter, impregnated with chlorhexidine and silver sulfadiazine on the internal and external surfaces, is effective in preventing microbial colonization and, in the group studied, is not associated with excess adverse events, hypersensitivity, or emergence of microbial antiseptic resistance. This study demonstrates that the second-generation antiseptic catheter, impregnated with chlorhexidine and silver sulfadiazine on the internal

The ability of manuka to act synergistically with antibiot¬ics also opens up new possibilities for its use as a topical agent and possibly as part of a combined regimen.

.Dressings impregnated with Active Leptospermum honey reduce odor and infection

In addition to positive wound progression and effective debridement the patients treated were satisfied with the ease of obtaining the ALH dressings.

The Leptospermum Honey demonstrated the ability to decrease inflammation and pain, clear slough, and increase healing in this group of patients with multiple co-morbidities .

These 6 patients with compromised immune systems from varied co-morbid conditions achieved wound closure in acceptable healing times using ALH as the advanced primary wound dressing.

Manuka honey has been proven to support the progression of stalled wounds, provide a moist wound healing environment and to be effective in both the management of wound infection and debridement of devitalised tissue.

Use of Manuka (Leptospermum) Honey for treatment of colonized diabetic foot ulcers, when used in combination with appropriate offloading, provided anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

The study appears an effective autolytic debridement with Active Leptospermum Honey.

This phase II randomized trial demonstrated potential reductions in the incidence and duration of clinically significant radiation dermatitis in breast cancer patients.

The results of this study illustrate the importance of selecting a honey of high potency when attempting to limit the growth of bacteria capable of causing wound infection.

.TenderWet 24 appeared to be more efficient to remove slough

TenderWet offers a new innovation for the offen difficult and arduous management of chronic wounds.

Atrauman Ag was found to be effective against all bacteria tested, completely eradicating K. pneumoniae within two hours of contact with the dressing, S. aureus after four hours and all microorganisms within 24 hours.

The tissue viability service has agreed that MEDIHONEY® Barrier Cream would be a useful addition to the newly revised formulary. An increasing number of moisture lesions are being reported and this has shown to be an optimal solution to managing these areas or areas of superficial breakdown susceptible to bacterial5 or fungal infections.

Atrauman Ag is an effective wound dressing for the management of infected and infection-prone, treatment refractory ulcers and can be used not only in the exudation phase but also in multiple phases of wound healing
