The clinical use of honey has received increasing interest in recent

years, particularly its use as a topical antibacterial dressing.Results

thus far are extremely encouraging, and demonstrate that honey is

effective against a broad range of microorganisms, including

multiresistant strains. This in-vitro study complements the work of

others and focuses on the impact that a standardized honey can have on

multiresistant bacteria that are regularly found in wounds and are

responsible for increased morbidity…

 

 

 

The findings of the present study add to the body of evidence and

Honey:A Modern Wound Management Product is a timely addition to the

knowledge base that concentrates on the use of honey in modern wound

management. Richard White, Rose Cooper, and Peter Molan—all experts

in their respective fields, have made invaluable contributions to this

text. Published by Advancis Medical in 2005, this is the only book

available that is dedicated to this particular wound treatment

modality.The book comprises 10 insightful chapters with contributions

from 9 additional authors.This well-organized text is enjoyable to read

and features photographs, flow charts, and algorithms.The book is also

unique in that the contributors are a multidisciplinary group and hail

from across the globe...

 

 

 

Honey: A Modern Wound Management Product is suited to both specialist

and generalist practitioners or for anyone interested in gaining a

greater understanding of the role of honey in wound management.The rapid

evolution in wound healing research, and the continued publication of

in-vitro and in-vivo studies that involve honey substantiate the fact

that although such materials were published in 2005, the literature will

require an update within 5 years.
