Abstract:
Chronic wounds are associated with a significant patient, healthcare and financial burden and can have extensive implications for healthcare. Age is a significant risk factor for developing chronic wounds, due to physical changes in skin integrity and several age-related complex comorbidities, including poor nutrition and mobility. Pressure ulcers (PU) are a common type of chronic wound that can have a substantial impact on health-related quality of life and patient outcomes. Understanding the extent of PU harm is problematic, due to discrepancies in the definition, recording and reporting of PUs on both a local and national level. Education and training are central to ensuring the risk factors associated with PU development are recognised, and a consistent and coherent structure to the definition, measurement and reporting of PUs across the NHS is developed.

The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...
