Biofilms
|
Moderator: Gregory Schultz, Ph.D
Speaker 1: William Costerton
Speaker 2: Randall Wolcott |
| Description:Chronic wounds often possess bacterial biofilms that are difficult to eradicate with oral antibiotics or topical antiseptics. Inflammatory responses to bacterial biofilms lead to elevated proteases that destroy proteins that are essential for healing. Clinical approaches to removing biofilms and preventing reformation will be discussed. |

Genetic Approaches and Models in Wound Healing
|
| Faculty: Michael DiPersio, PhD |
| Description:The microenvironment of a cutaneous wound consists of a complex mixture of extracellular matrix molecules,growth factors, and cytokines that collectively regulate the migratory, proliferative, and contractile behaviors of the component cells of the tissue with temporal and spatial precision. Integrin receptors for the extracellular matrix and their functional interactions with growth factors such as TGF-beta play critical roles in regulating the coordinated responses of keratinocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and other cell types during wound healing. This session will focus on the development and exploitation of animal models to study the roles of specific integrins and their cooperative interactions with growth factors in the regulation of wound healing. Topics will cover various aspects of wound healing, including mechanisms that contribute to inflammation, wound reepithelialization, and scar formation. Areas of emphasis will include the use of animal models (ie, transgenic and knockout mouse models) to study the regulation of cutaneous wound healing in vivo and the derivation of in vitro systems from these genetic models to investigate specific molecular mechanisms that are involved in this regulation. |

Healing of Other Tissues
|
| Faculty: Jeff Hollinger, Professor, Terence M. Myckatyn, MD, Nikolaos G. Frangogiannis, MD |
| Description:Wound healing research has traditionally focused on the skin. Whether due to trauma, surgical manipulation, or chronic disease, other tissues can be damaged and need to heal. In this session, nationally and internationally known experts will discuss the mechanisms by which tissue heals and what can be done to facilitate wound healing that has been impaired. |

The Extracellular Matrix
|
| Faculty: Gregory Shultz, PhD, Richard A. Clark, MD, Eliot N. Mostow, MD, MPH |
| Description:Dermal extracellular matrix dysfunction is one of the factors associated with chronic non-healing wounds. Dr. Schultz will discuss mechanisms by which the dermis is broken and alterations in inflammatory cytokines and proteases contribute to a diseased dermal matrix. Dr. Clark will discuss bench approaches to re-capitulate the dermal matrix to create novel matrices that might be suitable to improve repair. Dr. Mostow will provide insight into the clinical use of matrices to improve outcomes and healing refractory ulcers. |

Vascular Disease-Medical and Behavior Management
|
| Faculty: Daniel G. Federman, MD, Alan Dardik, MD, PhD |
| Description:In their daily practice, wound healers frequently encounter lower extremity ulcers, some of which may be associated with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). It is imperative that wound healers understand the systemic complications seen with PAD, such as lower extremity amputation, stroke, myocardial infarction, and death. In this session, we will discuss the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of PAD. Cutting-edge treatments such as gene and stem cell therapies also will be discussed. |

From Bedside to Bench:Wound Scene Investigation
|
| Faculty: Lisa Gould, Robert F. Diegelmann, PhD; and Lisa Gould, MD; Dot Weir, RN, CWON, CWS |
| Description:Clinicians are frequently challenged with wounds that either fail to heal or ultimately do heal with trial and error management but in which the underlying biological mechanisms responsible for the clinical response are unclear. This exciting new “teaching rounds” session will provide a panel of clinicians and scientists who will examine examples of real clinical cases and provide scientific insights as to what may have been the mechanisms responsible for the clinical outcome. |

Value of Healing
|
| Faculty: William Ennis D.O. FACOS, Leah Amir, MS, MHA |
| Description:What is the value of healing? Within the construct of an ailing healthcare system, aging population, non-specific training criteria for wound care practitioners, and limited economic resources, this question has many answers depending on who is responding. This session will provide a brief overview of the current healthcare system in which wound care is delivered, followed by a more detailed look at the “value” of healing the clinician, healthcare system, payor, patient, and society overall using a specific wound care issue as a model. Innovative potential solutions for the future of wound care will be presented for comment, challenge, and dialogue. |

Peripheral Vascular Disease
|
| Faculty: Daniel Federman, MD, FACP; Darwin Eton, MD |
| Description:Patients with lower extremity ulcers should be assessed for the presence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Not only does the presence of PAD have implications with regard to wound healing, but it also confers a greatly increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and death. Diagnosing PAD and what interventions can lessen the burden of this pernicious disease also will be discussed. |

Transitioning Patients from Acute Care to Long-term Care
|
| Faculty: William Ennis, DO, MBA, FACOS; Meneses Patricio, PhD; Mary Vargas, LPN; and Marianne Gainer, RN |
| Description:Patients with chronic wounds often begin their journey through the medical system with a visit to the wound clinic. On the initial visit, decisions need to be made concerning any potential needs for surgical intervention or hospitalization for medical complications. Patients at a 700-bed, level 1 trauma center have been treated for 7 years within a comprehensive wound program. Wound care is managed from clinic to the inpatient and subacute wound care stay. Members of the wound team will present data detailing this program’s economic, clinical, and quality-of-life outcomes. |

Outpatient Treatment of Burns
|
| Faculty: Allen Holloway, MD; LouAnne Jones, RN, NP; and Anne Tiernan, OT |
| Description:Burns are commonly treated in outpatient settings, but how to care for them is often poorly understood. This session will present information on the types of burns commonly seen, when they can be cared for locally, and when they should be referred to a burn center. Current standards of care for burns in the outpatient setting and the complications that need to be addressed, as well as the critical importance of Occupational/Physical Therapy, will be included. |

Telemedicine
|
| Faculty: Ben Peirce, BA, RN, CWOCN; Liz Powell, RN, MN, CRNP |
| Description:Telehealth uses electronic information and communication to provide and support healthcare when distance separates the participants. It can be as simple as two clinicians discussing a case over the telephone or as complex as using broadband to provide a real-time consultation thousands of miles away. This session will address the practical and technical aspects of telemedicine and review the evidence supporting its use. |

The Role of the Stem Cell in Repair
|
| Faculty: Jeffrey M. Davidson, PhD; Richard Bucala, MD, PhD; Johnny Huard, PhD; and Frank Isik, PhD |
| Description:Connective tissues such as muscle harbor a stem cell population that has a flexible role in repair. In addition, bone marrow contributes several populations of circulating cells with the properties of fibroblasts that are recruited to wound sites and make significant contributions to the healing process. This session will discuss the application of these discoveries to improved wound therapy. |

Cancer and Wounds
|
| Faculty: Dot Weir, RN, CWCN, COCN, CWS; Ann Hatcher, RN |
| Description:When caring for the patient who has cancer, clinicians are often faced with skin changes, non-healing wounds and pain that result from the treatment and not the original malignancy. This session will examine the cellular and immunological changes that result from the treatments and provide management approaches to some of the common skin and soft tissue dilemmas presented by these challenging patients. |

Palliative Wound Care
|
| Faculty: Oscar M. Alvarez, PhD, FAPWCA; Cathy Kalinski, RN, BSN, CWCN, COCN; Peter Sheehan, MD; Aletha Tippett, MD, AAFP, AAPM; and William Ennis, DO, MBA, FACOS |
| Description:This session will focus on the incorporation of palliative concepts into modern wound management. Wound care options for patients nearing the end of life and others where goals of symptomatic relief outweigh complete closure will be addressed. Palliative wound care goes beyond established curative protocols to address the larger goals of patient care by seeking to enhance quality of life for patients and their families. |
