There's something pleasingly pure about arithmetic. And it's a whole lot cheaper than a clinical trial. A new paper in
PLoS Computational Biology looks at the numbers behind the healing of nonhealing chronic wounds, especially limb- and life-threatening diabetic leg ulcers. It's not light reading. In short, the authors find:
- Hyperbaric O2 accelerates healing.
- Treatments should continue until healing is complete.
- Healing action begins at the capillary tips.
They further hope, as we do, their work is a first step toward better identifying patients and wounds that will benefit most from HBOT.
