Is subepidermal moisture associated with early pressure ulcer damage in nursing home residents with dark skin tones : pilot findings?
Subepidermal moisture was associated with future (1 week later) PU in persons with dark skin tones. Subepidermal moisture threshold values may assist in detecting early PU in persons with dark skin tones, allowing for earlier intervention to prevent PU. These findings should be further evaluated in persons with dark skin tones.
The exposure of intermittent hypoxia with or without hypercapnia, mimicking the situations in severe OSA patients, was associated with, or even promoted tumorigenesis.
