Acute and Chronic Wounds: Nursing Management
by Ruth A. Bryant,
Focusing on a multidisciplinary approach, this book provides a comprehensive resource
for health care providers challenged with the care of acute surgical and chronic wounds.
The initial chapters on structure of the skin, its functions, types of skin damage,
physiology of wound healing, and general principles of wound management provide the
framework needed to understand and minimize threats to the skin. This comprehensive
and up-to-date reference provides a complete understanding of the biology, pathophysiology,
and management of dermal wounds.

Antimicrobial properties of N-carboxybutyl chitosan
by R Muzzarelli, R Tarsi, O Filippini, E Giovanetti, G Biagini, and P E Varaldo
N-Carboxybutyl chitosan, a modified chitin of crustacean origin, displayed inhibitory,
bactericidal, and candidacidal activities when tested against 298 cultures of various pathogens.
Examination by electron microscopy showed that microbial cells exposed to N-carboxybutyl
chitosan underwent marked morphological alterations. The data are of importance in defining
the suitability of N-carboxybutyl chitosan as a wound dressing.
