OBJECTIVE To evaluate the capacity of a superabsorbent dressing (DryMax Extra; AbsorbestAB) to manage excessive exudate, thereby protecting peri-wound skin and facilitating wound healing. METHOD Patients with acute and chronic wounds of various aetiology were assessed, and treatment of their wounds with the superabsorbent dressing was evaluated. The starting point for this study was the needs...

Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) can absorb a large amount of water and find broad applications in various industries. There are many reports on the synthesis structural modification techniques to improve absorption property SAPs. However, we see few studies comparison integration these techniques. In this study, three structurally modified SAPs were synthesized evaluated for effects surface cros...

Two cross-linkers with different functional groups amide (N,NMethylenebisacrylamide (NMBA)) and esters (Ethylene Glycol Dimethylacrylate (EGDMA)) have been selected for comparative study for crosslinking polyaspartic acid (PAsp) and acrylic acid (AA). Thus, resulting in formation of different polymers with PAsp and acrylic acid in different ratios and cross-linked with different cross-linkers. ...

OBJECTIVE Urinary tract is one of the most common sources of infection in children under the age of two years. Many known and unknown risk factors predispose to this important disease in children. This study was conducted to determine whether using a specific type of diaper plays a role in urinary tract infection (UTI) in girls under the age of 2 years. METHODS This case control study was per...
