Human amniotic membrane grafts in therapy of chronic non-healing wounds

British Medical Bulletin

Abstract

Human amniotic membrane (HAM) has been embraced as a natural wound dressing almost exclusively in ophthalmology. Only recently, emergence of commercial HAM products prompted its use in growing range of indications, especially treatment of chronic non-healing wounds. ClinicalTrials.gov database and International Clinical Trials Registry Platform searched with key words 'human amniotic membrane' and 'chronic wounds'. HAM can be successfully used as a natural wound dressing to promote healing. It is still unclear, which preparation is more advantageous, cryopreserved HAM or dehydrated HAM. There are an increasing number of commercial HAM products and clinical trials for a variety of dermatological diagnoses. In spite of easy procurement and low production costs, to our knowledge, there are currently only a few manufacturers of commercial HAM products tested in clinical trials for cutaneous wounds and all of them are located in the USA.

Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathies

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathies, also called polyglandular autoimmune syndromes (PGASs), or polyendocrine autoimmune syndromes(PASs), are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by autoimmune activity against more than one endocrine organ, although non-endocrine organs can be affected. Discover the latest research on autoimmune polyendocrinopathies here.

Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes

This feed focuses on a rare genetic condition called Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes, which are characterized by autoantibodies against multiple endocrine organs. This can lead to Type I Diabetes.
