    Abstract In its mission to optimise the quality of patient care and the level of clinician training within the fields of biotherapy, the BioTherapeutics, Education and Research (BTER) Foundation and its Maggot Therapy Competency Committee identified qualities and achievements assessed to be the minimum standards that health care professionals should attain in order to be deemed competent in maggot therapy. The set of six standards were selected to reflect the same high degree of professionalism that is used by the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education for assessing other medical specialists, but with an emphasis on the principles and practice of maggot therapy. For each domain in which competency is expected, the rationale has been explained, specific competencies have been articulated, and methods for demonstrating or evaluating those competencies have been suggested. Applicable to any clinician applying maggot dressings professionally, these recommendations should assist those who wish to identify, assess, or achieve competency in maggot therapy. Specifically, these six competencies include: (1) knowledge about wound care in general and maggot therapy in particular; (2) skill in general patient care, to a level commensurate with their professional role; (3) ability to communicate effectively with colleagues, patients, and the general public; (4) professional and ethical behaviour; (5) ability to deliver systems-based health care; (6) incorporation of continuing education and quality improvement into their practice.

    Abstract Background: Maggot debridement therapy (MDT), or the use of maggots in dead tissue removal, has been shown to be beneficial in wound healing. Yet MDT in the US is often only used once conventional debridement methods have failed.
    Method: In this study, nine health professionals, experienced in MDT, were interviewed in order to identify and analyse the perceived societal barriers to MDT acceptance and usage in the US.
    Results: Through qualitative analysis, using the grounded theory framework, this study found that among those interviewed, insurance reimbursement restrictions and stigmatisation of medicinal maggots were the factors driving resistance to MDT use.
    Conclusion: Specifically, the 'yuck' factor and the perception of MDT as an 'ancient' modality contributed towards MDT stigma; in addition, lack of outpatient insurance coverage deterred MDT use. These findings provide useful information regarding the perceptual and systemic barriers that prevent greater acceptance of MDT. Ultimately, these barriers must be understood if we are to facilitate MDT implementation and improve MDT usage in the future.

    Abstract MEDICINAL MAGGOTS ARE BELIEVED TO HAVE THREE MAJOR MECHANISMS OF ACTION ON WOUNDS, BROUGHT ABOUT CHEMICALLY AND THROUGH PHYSICAL CONTACT: debridement (cleaning of debris), disinfection, and hastened wound healing. Until recently, most of the evidence for these claims was anecdotal; but the past 25 years have seen an increase in the use and study of maggot therapy. Controlled clinical studies are now available, along with laboratory investigations that examine the interaction of maggot and host on a cellular and molecular level. This review was undertaken to extract the salient data, make sense, where possible, of seemingly conflicting evidence, and reexamine our paradigm for maggot-induced wound healing. Clinical and laboratory data strongly support claims of effective and efficient debridement. Clinical evidence for hastened wound healing is meager, but laboratory studies and some small, replicated clinical studies strongly suggest that maggots do promote tissue growth and wound healing, though it is likely only during and shortly after the period when they are present on the wound. The best way to evaluate-and indeed realize-maggot-induced wound healing may be to use medicinal maggots as a "maintenance debridement" modality, applying them beyond the point of gross debridement.

    Abstract The 21st century is seeing a resurgence in the use of maggot therapy-using the physical and biochemical benefits of fly larvae to debride and heal chronic, problematic wounds. Maggots are repulsive to many people, and this could interfere with the acceptance of this modality. Before instituting a maggot therapy programme at our institution, we sought to better understand the psychological barriers that may exist among patients in the Tver region of Russia. Between 2014 and 2016, all patients with arterial insufficiency and trophic ulcers at City Clinical Hospital No. 7 in Tver were administered a survey consisting of six images. Subjects were asked to rank the images in the order of least to most repulsive or disgusting. A total of 576 subjects were recruited for this study: 414 (72%) women and 162 (28%) men. Nearly 60% of subjects considered the images of maggots to be more repulsive than images of gangrenous wounds. This finding is significant because it indicates that much education and support will need to be conducted to address patient fears and anxiety if patients are to be comfortable with a maggot therapy programme.

    Abstract The gut microbiota is integral to human health, including maintaining the delicate balance between tolerance and protection against potentially harmful pathogens. A growing body of evidence implicates the intestinal microbiome in immune-mediated inflammatory disorders; these data span the spectrum from genetic and environmental disease risk factors, to animal studies (particularly germ-free and gnotobiotic models) and human studies, including evidence of dysbiosis in diseased individuals compared to healthy populations. In this review, we summarize both animal and human data supporting a link between the gut microbiota and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and systemic inflammatory arthritis, as models for chronic inflammatory disorders, while offering a pediatric focus (pediatric IBD and juvenile idiopathic arthritis). We discuss relevant mechanisms related to the crosstalk between the gut microbiota and the innate and adaptive immune system. We close with a brief discussion of emerging microbe-altering interventions, including fecal microbial transplantation and its immunologic effects.

    Abstract The past 25 years have seen an increase in use of maggot therapy for wound care. Maggot therapy is very effective in wound debridement; it is simple to apply and requires very little in the way of resources, costs, or skilled personnel. These characteristics make it well suited for use in austere environments. The use of medical-grade maggots makes maggot therapy nearly risk free, but medical grade maggots may not always be available, especially in the wilderness or in resource-limited communities. By understanding myiasis and fly biology, it should be possible even for the nonentomologist to obtain maggots from the wild and apply them therapeutically, with minimal risks.
