Wounds are the loss or destruction of part of the body's tissue, if the wound is not treated it will lead to infection and may interfere with livestock production. The faster the healing process occurs, the less likely secondary infections are to develop and become more severe. Clinically, various treatments and medicines, mainly those of chemical origin, have been introduced to facilitate and accelerate the wound healing process, but their use is limited due to side effects or low efficiency. Some substances and active substances are used to accelerate the process, but in this case herbal or medicinal plants can be used as an alternative in treating wounds in livestock, these plants have long been used as herbal medicines for humans and livestock. Moringa leaves contain phytochemicals that have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities that can help the wound healing process. Compounds in Moringa leaves that play a role in wound healing include flavonoids, saponins, tannins, antibacterial, antiseptic, antimicrobial, and polyphenolic compounds. This review discusses and explains Moringa leaves on their medicinal function in livestock. Wound healing is the most important property for organisms and is the process of cell recovery because poor wound healing can cause physical pain, discomfort, and also bring a series of psychological problems to livestock. In addition, wounds that are difficult to heal can cause a further decline in the quality of life of livestock and result in a heavy economic burden. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Most acute wounds will heal with good topical care. However, some wounds, especially chronic ones occurring in impaired hosts, are more problematic. To properly manage these types of wounds and optimize healing, there should be an evidence-based approach to wound care in the emergency department. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Summary: Introduction: Skin rejuvenation procedures have become common with sophisticated technologies with reduced downtime and related risks. Recently, microneedling has been paired with radiofrequency to create Fractional Radiofrequency Microneedling (FRFM) to induce neocollagenesis. Frequently, topical products are applied immediately after the needling. This procedure is known as percutaneous collagen induction therapy (PCIT). Postoperative topical wound care is critical for prompt rapid and safe healing, with moist wound healing deemed of primary importance for fast and correct scarring process. An ideal dressing enables a moist environment while reducing postprocedural inflammatory responses in the first stages of wound healing. Objective: To evaluate whether an innovative silicone‐based wound dressing is superior than standard of care therapy in decreasing severity and duration of treatment‐site acute inflammatory reactions post PCIT. Materials and Methods: Endymed PRO Intensif Handpiece (Endymed, Israel) was used for the full‐face FRFM procedure. Subjects (n = 20) applied treatment (Stratacel®—Stratpharma SG, Switzerland) and control (Aquaphor®—Beiersdorf Inc, USA) immediately after the procedure and daily; they were evaluated immediately postprocedure (baseline assessment), at 2, 3 and 7 days postprocedure. Digital and 3D pictures (Antera 3D Camera for Skin Analysis—Miravex, Ireland) were taken at each assessment. Results: All patients healed properly without reporting adverse reactions to any of the studied products. Erythema at each study visit was significantly reduced with the use of the novel wound dressing (P < 0.001). A statistically significant difference in favor of the innovative wound dressing also emerged with respect to the patient‐rated product properties (P = 0.008), such as feel on skin, drying time and stickiness. Conclusions: The novel wound dressing reduced signs of acute inflammation following PCIT when compared to standard of care, without reporting adverse events and resulting in a more favorable outcome from a patient perspective.
