800x600   introduction:  many items are needed for dressing including sterile dressing set, antiseptic and washing solutions, leucoplast tape, waste bin for infectious garbage, waste bin for noninfectious garbage, safe disposal trash for sharp cutting instruments, bedpan and sometimes drugs. all the items are laid out on a simple wheeled trolley. the multiplicity of items together with problems...

BACKGROUND Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) delivers cardiac and/or respiratory support to critically ill patients who have failed conventional medical therapies. If the large-bore cannulas used to deliver ECMO become infected or dislodged, the patient consequences can be catastrophic. ECMO cannula-related infection has been reported to be double the rate of other vascular devices (7....

OBJECTIVE Successful closure is a primary step of treatment in open fracture wounds. Delayed healing or complications can lead to increased treatment duration, costs and disability rates. The aim of this study was to compare Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) and conventional wound dressings in patients with open fracture wounds. METHODS In a prospective randomized clinical trial study, 9...

BACKGROUND Thermal injury is associated with several biochemical and histopathological alteration in tissue. Analysis of these objective parameters in research and clinical field are common to determine healing rate of burn wound. Negative pressure wound therapy has been achieved wide success in treating chronic wounds. This study determines superficial burn wound healing with intermittent nega...

First, some basic notions of transparent intensional logic (TIL) are introduced. Secondly, it is studied how natural-language interrogatives are analyzed in TIL.

Large N matrix models modified by terms of the form g(TrΦn)2 generate random surfaces which touch at isolated points. Matrix model results indicate that, as g is increased to a special value gt, the string susceptibility exponent suddenly jumps from its conventional value γ to γ γ−1 . We study this effect in Liouville gravity and attribute it to a change of the interaction term from Oeα+φ for g...

Delayed healing of skin donor sites may be costly and life threatening, especially in patients with large body-surface area burns. A donor site dressing should maximize the ability of the wound to heal without increasing the risk of local infection, systemic infection, or both. Specifically, the possibility of a secondary infection may either slow the healing process or ultimately convert the d...

Honey is recognized traditionally for its medicinal properties and also appreciated as a topical healing agent for infected and noninfected wounds. This study evaluates impact of honey-based occlusive dressing on nonhealing (nonresponding to conventional antibiotics) traumatic lower limb wounds (n = 34) through clinicopathological and immunohistochemical (e.g., expression of p63, E-cadherin, an...
