Ousey, K., Rippon, M., Rogers, A., & Totty, J. (2023). Considerations for a Post-Surgical Wound Dressing Aligned with Anti-Microbial Stewardship Objectives: A Scoping Review. Journal of Wound Care, 32(6), 334-347. https://doi.org/10.12968/jowc.2023.32.6.334

Background: Most surgical wounds heal by primary intention or secondary intention. Surgical wounds can present specific and unique challenges including wound dehiscence and surgical site infection, either of which can increase risk of morbidity and m...

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy compared with standard care for diabetic foot ulcer healing: An updated systematic review (2022)
Journal Article
Hitchman, L., Totty, J., Smith, G. E., Carradice, D., Twiddy, M., Iglesias, C., …Chetter, I. C. (2022). Extracorporeal shockwave therapy compared with standard care for diabetic foot ulcer healing: An updated systematic review. International wound journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/iwj.14035

Emerging evidence suggests that extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) may improve time to DFU healing. The aim of this review was to appraise the evidence on role of ESWT in DFU healing and impact of different ESWT doses. Databases were searched fo...

Wound complications following surgery to the lymph nodes: A protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis (2022)
Journal Article
Nzenwa, I. C., Iqbal, H. A., Hardie, C., Smith, G. E., Matteucci, P. L., & Totty, J. P. (2022). Wound complications following surgery to the lymph nodes: A protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis. PLoS ONE, 17(8), Article e0272490. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0272490

Background Malignancies that spread to the lymph nodes may be identified through surgical biopsy, and treatment of metastatic disease may be through lymph node dissection. These surgeries, however, may be associated with significant adverse outcomes,...

A systematic review of muscle morphology and function in intermittent claudication (2017)
Journal Article
Harwood, A. E., King, S., Totty, J., Smith, G. E., Vanicek, N., & Chetter, I. C. (2017). A systematic review of muscle morphology and function in intermittent claudication. Journal of vascular surgery, 66(4), 1241-1257. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvs.2017.05.106

Objective Intermittent claudication (IC) is frequently associated with deterioration in walking capacity and physical function, and it can often result in an impairment in balance. Whereas supervised exercise is recommended by the National Institute... Read More about A systematic review of muscle morphology and function in intermittent claudication.
