Fragmenting munitions have caused the majority of casualties in recent conflicts. These wounds are often multiple, many affecting only the soft tissues of the extremities. The management of these wounds is controversial; some surgeons advocate aggressive surgical treatment; others believe that a nonoperative policy is appropriate in selected cases. The International Committee of the Red Cross h...

Objective- To evaluate the healing potential of oleaster leave water soluble extract on skin wounds. Design- Experimental study. Animals- 30 male Spragne-Dawly rats, randomly assigned in two equal groups. Procedures- Under general anesthesia, and following surgical preparation, two uniform skin defects were made by 7mm skin punch. The water soluble extract was then applied on half of the wo...

PURPOSE To get the maximum benefit of vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) in the management of acute and chronic wounds without abuse or misuse. METHODS Fourty one patients were included in the study. Among them, 9 patients had chronic wounds and the rest 32 patients had acute wounds. In acute wounds, 19 patients had co-morbid conditions. Seven patients had gaped wounds, 4 patients had necrotizing ...

Wounds not only harm the physical and mental health of patients, but also introduce huge medical costs. Meanwhile, there is a shortage physicians in some areas, clinical examinations are sometimes unreliable wound diagnosis. Reliable analysis great importance its diagnosis, treatment, care. Currently, deep learning has developed rapidly field computer vision imaging become most commonly used te...

wound healing in the skin depends upon the availability of appropriate trace metals as enzyme cofactors and structural components in tissue repair. the present study is a part of a series of experimental investigations to examine the influence of bentonite on skin wound healing. surgically induced skin wounds in 48 young adult male rats were exposed topically to bentonite (12 round wound and 12...

The concept underlying electric current therapy (ET) or electromagnetic field therapy (EMFT) for soft tissue wound healing is that the fields and/or currents beneficially affect functional aspects of cells and processes involved in tissue repair. For soft tissue wound healing, the most relevant application is for patients with wounds that are chronic, nonor slow-healing, or otherwise recalcitra...

Dog-bite wounds are often left open because of their reputation for infection if primarily closed. A prospective randomized trial comparing primary closure with leaving the wound open was performed to assess infection and cosmesis. Ninety-six patients with 169 lacerations had thorough surgical debridement and irrigation of their wounds. Ninety-two wounds were sutured and 77 left open. No prophy...
