Chemical burns are prevalent and may inflict considerable physical, psychological, social, and economic burdens. Chemical burns can be life-threatening and lead to significant aesthetic and functional outcomes, representing 30% of all burn-related fatalities. Chemical burns result from corrosive substances (acids and alkalis) that cause extensive damage to tissues. Chemical burns still present various challenges for clinicians treating such cases. Feracrylum, a soluble mix of partial ferrous salts (II and III) of polyacrylic acid, is classified as a chemical hemostatic agent and an antimicrobial substance. Its molecular weight falls between 500,000 and 800,000 Daltons, which hinders systemic absorption and avoids adverse effects on the liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, cardiovascular system, or hemostatic systems. Feracrylum possesses antibacterial characteristics, reducing the likelihood of wound infections.

Cervical spondylosis is a common degenerative disorder affecting the cervical spine often associated with aging. This condition can lead to a range of symptoms, including neck pain, stiffness, radiculopathy, and in advanced cases, myelopathy. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of clinical examination and imaging techniques, with MRI offering detailed insights into soft tissue and nerve involvement. Management approaches vary according to symptom severity, encompassing conservative treatments such as medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications, as well as surgical interventions for cases with significant neurological impairment. Recent advancements in minimally invasive techniques, regenerative therapies, and Al-driven diagnostic tools offer promising future directions for treatment. This review aims to summarize the current diagnostic approaches and management strategies for cervical spondylosis and highlights the need for a multimodal and personalized approach toenhance patient outcomes and quality of life.
