Actinomycosis is an indolent, slowly progressive, suppurative infection caused by gram-positive branching bacteria of the genus Actinomyces. The organism is a member of the oral and gastrointestinal microflora of humans. The disease actinomycosis most commonly occurs in 3 body regions: cervicofacial (55% of patients), abdominopelvic (20%), and pulmonothoracic (15%). Involvement of other parts of the body is uncommon and usually secondary to a lesion in one or the other of the above sites. Extremity disease can occur by secondary involvement through direct extension or hematogenous spread. However, primary actinomycosis of an extremity is very rare. A case of primary actinomycosis of the foot in a Hispanic male and a literature review with an emphasis on primary actinomycosis of the extremity are presented in this article.

Three types of stem cells, embryonic, adult, and induced pluripotent stem cells, are currently studied by scientists. Barack Obama's presidency has opened the door for stem cell research by revoking statements and orders made during the former President Bush's administration. This provisional period will allow the National Institute of Health to rewrite policies governing how federal funds are distributed for stem cell research. These new regulations will grant more freedom to researchers wishing to use stem cells in their research and challenge them to determine the most appropriate stem cell treatment for a given disorder.

Purpose
Sirolimus is an immunosuppressive drug used as part of the drug regimen after kidney, liver, and heart transplantation. There have been numerous reports of transplant surgical wound healing complications secondary to sirolimus. The authors present a case of impaired wound healing in the lower extremity after kidney transplantation for a patient on sirolimus. This is one of the few reported cases that we are aware of that demonstrates the effects of sirolimus on wound healing at a nontransplant site.
Methods
A case highlighting aggressive limb-salvage modalities for a kidney transplant patient on sirolimus is presented. The subject was informed that data concerning the case would be submitted for publication. A brief review of the literature shows the wound healing problems previously associated with sirolimus.
Results
Despite all salvage techniques employed, including aggressive early debridement, forefoot offloading, IV antibiotics, negative pressure wound therapy, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the patient eventually went on to failure and a transtibial amputation.
Conclusion
Physicians specializing in wound care and limb salvage must be aware of the effects of sirolimus on wound healing and should consider modifications to these patients' immunosuppressive regimens.

Pain frequently is an overlooked aspect of wound care, and unresolved pain can have a negative impact on wound healing. The etiology and comorbidities associated with chronic wounds can also complicate the assessment of the quantity and quality of the pain perceived by the patient. It is critical to adequately assess pain when establishing a comprehensive plan of care. This article will discuss the etiology of pain as well as provide the reader with strategies for managing the painful wound once it has been identified.
