Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nonhealing wounds challenge the best of wound specialists. Difficult to heal wounds increase patient morbidity and mortality, healthcare utilization and cost worldwide. Advances in diagnostic technologies and our understanding of wound biology are creating opportunities to move beyond standardized approaches toward more precise, patient- and wound-specific strategies for assessment and diagnosis.
This Special Issue, “Precision Diagnostic Strategies for Wound Healing,” will highlight emerging diagnostic approaches that improve clinical decision-making and outcomes across the continuum of wound care. We welcome original research articles and reviews addressing chronic wounds, diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers and wound infections. Topics of interest include advanced wound diagnostics, biomarkers, molecular and microbiological assessment, infection and inflammation, tissue viability, perfusion, imaging, predictive technologies, diagnostic-response assessment and diagnostic approaches that support personalized wound management.
We look forward to receiving contributions that advance the science of precision wound care and help translate innovative diagnostic strategies into improved clinical practice.
Dr. Thomas E. Serena
Guest Editor
