Autonomic Computing is emerging as a significant new approach to the design of computing systems. Its goal is the development of systems that are selfconfiguring, self-healing, self-protecting and selfoptimizing. Dependability is a long-standing desirable property of all computer-based systems. The purpose of this paper is to consider how Autonomic Computing can provide a framework for dependab...

gum tragacanth is a natural complex mixture of polysaccharides and alkaline minerals extracted from species of astragalus plant, which is found widely in arid regions of the middle east. in a pilot experimental study we examined the effects of its topical application on wound healing in ten albino adult male rats. two similar parasagittal elliptical full-thickness wounds (control vs. test sampl...

conclusions the results showed the effectiveness of bromelain on episiotomy pain and wound healing. therefore, it is suggested to use bromelain in postoperative stage to improve wound healing and reduce pain. background ananas comosus has long been used for medical purposes. currently, we are experiencing an unprecedented interest in the use of complementary medicine as well as a growing attent...

objective: to determine the effects of topical administration of 20% oltipraz solution on histomorphometrical and stereological aspects of skin tissue in full thickness skin wounds in laboratory rats. methods: thirty-six male wistar portion rats (220±20 g) were randomly divided into three groups (n=12). on the first day of experimentation, a 1-cm 2 circular wound was made on the posterior surfa...

conclusions stem cell therapies in wound care may lessen the morbidities associated with wound healing. an ideal method for the effective administration of stem cells for burn patients has not yet been elucidated. further comparison of the local and systemic effects in burn patients, associated with each route of stem cell delivery, needs to be performed. results application of cells to the bur...

abstract background: pressure ulcers’ treatment imposes a considerable cost on health system and patients. electrical stimulation has already been introduced as an effective method for promoting wound healing. this study was conducted to determine the impact of interferential current (if) on healing of pressure ulcers (grade1 and 2). materials and methods: in this clinical trial, 23 patients (1...

introduction: different modalities have been used to achieve better results in wound healing among which are laser and pharmacological agents. to our knowledge, there is no investigation to compare phenytoin and laser together. in this study, we aimed to evaluate laser and phenytoin efficacy and compare their effect on wound healing. methods: we used 60 rats. the animals were divided into 4 gro...

surgical wound infections are usually encountered due to the endogenous rather than the exogenousinfective sources. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a distant inoculated infective source on the contamination of surgical wounds. thirty white new zealand rabbits divided randomly into three control and three treatment equal groups. in treatment groups 24 hrs before surgica...
