The Wound Healing & Hyperbaric Center, 2912 17th St., at St. Cloud Regional Medical Center will open Monday.
The center will use advanced wound-care techniques to heal wounds that have resisted traditional treatment.
Physicians and clinicians will work with patients and their physicians to provide advanced treatments from bioengineered skin dressings to hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
"Every wound is unique," center director Reed Stephan said. "While the causes of chronic nonhealing wounds can be complex, our multidisciplinary team of physicians and clinicians has received extensive training in the latest advances in wound care and hyperbaric medicine. We develop a personalized treatment plan for each patient. Whatever it takes for healing to occur, we're equipped and staffed to make it happen."

Very premature babies benefit from mother's cuddles: study
If mothers cuddle their very premature babies before and during painful medical procedures, it helps them recover from pain, a new study finds. The research results could help very premature babies, who spend their first months in incubators, cope while in intensive care. Skin-to-skin contact between a preemie, born at 28 to 31 weeks, and its mother can lessen the severity of the pain and help the infants recover, McGill University researchers found. Previously, this approach, called kangaroo care, was only used with babies born between 32 to 36 weeks, on the assumption that younger babies wouldn't benefit. The research team tested the babies' reactions — both with their mothers and alone — by pricking their heels' to obtain a blood sample.
Rosacea is getting worse
Dear Dr. Gott: When I was 19, I had my acne burned off with X-rays. Twenty years later, it came back, so I took tetracycline for 30 years. My acne didn't disappear but started to change, so my primary care physician sent me to a dermatologist. I was told that the acne was being replaced by rosacea. I couldn't tell the difference in the early stages of the transition. About a year later, the change was very apparent. At this point, I was put on minocycline twice a day and have taken it for more than six years. My skin has always been very oily, and I have inordinate amounts of seborrheic keratoses, some too big to freeze off. Now, if I stop my minocycline for three weeks, what looks like pus drips off my nose. Once I start the medication again, it takes another four months to get back to normal.

Pamper feet to avoid corns and calluses
The dull ache of corns and roughness of calluses are preventable, Minnesota's Mayo Clinic Health Letter reports.
The newsletter says unsightly corns and calluses are caused by the rubbing and friction of just-a-little-too-tight shoes, but they will often go away if the friction and rubbing that causes them are eliminated.
If you have corns and calluses, the experts suggest wearing non-medicated corn or callus pads that cushion and protect skin from friction and allow time for corns or calluses to shrink.
Toughened skin can gradually be rubbed away with a washcloth or pumice stone after bathing. Never shave or cut a corn or callus because of the risk of infection, the newsletter advises.
"Most people only need medical treatment if they cause discomfort," the Mayo Clinic Health Letter says in a statement.
A reduction in care
A mother sits in the waiting room of the local community clinic, desperate for a doctor to examine her newborn's jaundiced skin. Next to her sits a construction worker with diabetes, and next to him, an aging woman desperate for a more effective pain cocktail to mask her rheumatoid arthritis.
