Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has significantly advanced wound care and continues to find new applications. Its effects at a molecular level however, remain a subject of debate. The aim of this systematic review is to summarize the current e... Read More about Molecular mechanisms of action of negative pressure wound therapy: A systematic review.

Hospital clinicians’ perceptions and experiences of care pathways for chronic limb-threatening ischaemia: a qualitative study (2023)
Journal Article
Atkins, E., Kellar, I., Birmpili, P., Boyle, J. R., Pherwani, A. D., Chetter, I., & Cromwell, D. A. (2023). Hospital clinicians’ perceptions and experiences of care pathways for chronic limb-threatening ischaemia: a qualitative study. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 16(1), Article 62. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13047-023-00664-6

Background: Chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) is a condition associated with significant risks of lower limb loss and mortality, which increase with delays in management. Guidance recommends urgent referral and assessment, but delays are evid...

Addressing delays to treatment in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (2023)
Thesis
Birmpili, P. Addressing delays to treatment in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4371299

Patients with CLTI often face long delays from referral to the vascular surgery service and hospital admission to revascularisation, and there is limited evidence on the effect of these delays on patient outcomes. This thesis aims to identify factors... Read More about Addressing delays to treatment in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia.
