Role of Application of SWCR Guidelines in Management of Right Trochanter Pressure Injury (PI)
Abstract: A pressure injury refers to the localized death of tissue resulting from sustained pressure on the skin and underlying tissues. This damage is often compounded by shear forces or direct trauma to the skin. While terms like “decubitus ulcer,” “bedsore,” and “pressure sore” are commonly used interchangeably, they fail to capture the complexity of the condition as accurately as the term “pressure injury” does. The term “decubitus” originates from Latin, …

Evaluation of Antimicrobial Activity of Some Medicinal Plants against Most Prevalent Diabetic Wound Pathogens
Abstract: The present research work attempts to evaluate antimicrobial activity of 90% ethanolic extracts of three traditional medicinal plants viz. Terminalia bellirica, Terminalia chebula, Pyhllanthus emblica. Since ethanol is the best solvent for dissolving antimicrobial compound present as active phytoconstituents in plants, these plants were extracted with ethanol. Each extract was tested for its antimicrobial activity against three most prevalent pathogenic microorganism associated with diabetic wounds, viz. Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC3160), Pseudomonas …
