“…137 Bandages should be occlusive for at least the first 48 hours to improve healing and reduce infection. 154,155 During the perioperative period, the patient's body temperature should be maintained between 36 C and 37.5 C. 156 Reductions in core temperature of 1.9 C have been shown to triple the incidence of wound infections with colon surgery.…”

Over the past 4 decades, much has been learned about the pathophysiology and treatment of osteoporosis, the prevention of fragility fractures, and the perioperative management of patients who have these debilitating injuries. However, the volume of published literature on this topic is staggering and far too voluminous for any clinician to review and synthesize by him or herself. This manuscript thoroughly summarizes the latest research on fragility fractures and provides the reader with valuable strategies to optimize the prevention and management of these devastating injuries. The information contained in this article will prove invaluable to any health care provider or health system administrator who is involved in the prevention and management of fragility hip fractures. As providers begin to gain a better understanding of the principles espoused in this article, it is our hope that they will be able to use this information to optimize the care they provide for elderly patients who are at risk of or who have osteoporotic fractures.

“…Los apósitos de hidrocoloide, entonces, son responsables de proporcionar una eficaz barrera bacteriana, de disminuir la dispersión microbiana en los cambios del apósito, de favorecer los mecanismos de defensa del huésped e incluso de menores tasas de infección si lo comparamos con la cura tradicional (19,20). A ello podemos aña-dir que influyen directamente en la desaparición del dolor, proporcionando un alivio considerable debido a que el gel cubre las terminaciones nerviosas libres evitando la exposición ambiental (18 Además, la utilización de estos apó-sitos permite espaciar las curas y, por lo tanto, mejora el grado de satisfacción y la calidad de vida de la persona que los utiliza, si los comparamos con los cuidados tradicionales de estas lesiones (19).…”

“…Topical application of antiseptic preparations is the best for wound treatment because of their direct action at wound site [97][98][99]. Topical application of zinc has been reported to improve re-epithelialization, reduce inflammation and bacterial growth in case of leg ulcers [100].…”

Nanotechnology has opened up new vistas for applications in almost all the disciplines of veterinary and animal sciences. Zinc oxide (ZnO) has been used as an alternative to antibiotics in animal feed. It has also been widely used for wound healing and various skin disorders. Recently ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted attention owing to their unique features. There can be numerous applications of ZnO NPs due to their antibacterial, antineoplastic, wound healing, ultraviolet scattering and angiogenic properties. These have also been used to promote tissue repair, as a food preservative and as feed additive. This paper reviews the recent developments in ZnO NPs research and its potential for application in animal health and production.
