Introduction: Skin wound healing is a multi-step process. It involves coordinated interactions between growth factors, matrix, microenvironment around the wound, and various cells. Patients' quality of life in chronic wounds is affected because, in addition to sequential treatments, they incur significant medical costs. This review study aims to summarize the evidence and report current knowledge about tissue engineering, skin wound healing, and therapeutic strategies using bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were performed. Methods: Thus, much effort has been focused on developing novel therapeutic approaches for wound treatment. Stem cell-based therapeutic strategies have been proposed to treat these wounds. They have shown significant potential for improving the speed and quality of wound healing and skin regeneration. A set of published data on the use of mesenchymal stem cells and a variety of biological scaffolds in wound healing is presented. Besides, we discussed different perspectives. Conclusion: We concluded that by activating bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on a biological scaffold, the condition of the wound healing process can be improved.

The pelvic floor is a complex multifunctional structure that corresponds to the genito- urinary-anal area and consists of muscle and connective tissue. It supports the urinary, fecal, sexual and reproductive functions and pelvic statics. The symptoms caused by pelvic floor dysfunction often affect the quality of life of those who are afflicted, worsening significantly more aspects of daily life. In fact, in addition to providing support to the pelvic organs, the deep floor muscles support urinary continence and intestinal emptying whereas the superficial floor muscles are involved in the mechanism of erection and ejaculation. So, conditions of muscle hypotonia or hypertonicity may affect the efficiency of the pelvic floor, altering both the functionality of the deep and superficial floor muscles. In this evolution of knowledge it is possible imagine how the rehabilitation techniques of pelvic floor muscles, if altered and able to support a voiding or evacuative or sexual dysfunction, may have a role in improving the health and the quality of life.

Knowledge Attitude And Practice

Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) as a term includes underlying different sub-conditions the major ones are pelvic organ prolapse (POP), urinary incontinence (UI), fecal incontinence (FI), sexual function. The direct effect of dysfunction in these areas can affect the quality of life on a personal and healthy level in patients with PFD.
