The diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 gene (DGAT1) was identified as a strong candidate gene affecting mutton quality traits in sheep. Single nucleotide polymorphism creates a single base mutation (C to T) in AGCT site of endonuclease AluI. DGAT1 is one of the candidate genes to improve carcass characteristics in feedlot animals. In order to study area T487C in exon 17 of the DGAT1 polymorphism,...

Burn injuries are a painful form of trauma.1 Patients of burn injuries experience severe pain on a daily basis, both immediately after the injury and during therapeutic procedures, such as dressing changes,debridement and physiotherapy.2 In addition, repetition of these painful procedures often creates anticipatory anxiety forpatients with burns.3 Anxiety induced by a bad acute pain experience ...

Deep Wounds: Colostrum Dressing Versus Conventional Dressing Sanjay Chatterjee and 2 Rituraj Assistant Professor, 2 Resident, Department of General Surgery NIMS Medical College and Hospital, Jaipur, India *Corresponding Author : Sanjay Chatterjee Abstract Wound dressing plays an important role in wound healing. Newer type of wound dressings includes Biological dressings like collagen granules, ...

Propolis is a resinous product collected by honeybees with complex chemical composition. Sodium carboxymethylcellulose polymer commonly used in wound care. The goal of the present work was to produce and characterize NaCMC membranes loaded extract Brazilian brown propolis (CMC-P). Flavonoids phenolic acids were identified extracts, where main substance kaempferide. extracted active against S. a...

In this study, we designed dual network hydrogels with antioxidant and antibacterial activities using marine poly- oligosaccharides skin wound healing potential. The synergy between enzymatic co-crosslinking based on glucose oxidize (GOx)/horseradish peroxidase (HRP) electrostatic interaction positively charged chitooligosaccharides (COS) phenolated chitosan negatively alginate formed a hydroge...

Aim To do in vitro test to assess the efficacy of hydrophobic dressing Cutimed® Sorbact® to bind multiresistant bacteria that caused wound infection, the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Method This was a cross sectional study that was conducted in the Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, on January 2009. In-vitr...

This study compares the costs of dressings used in the treatment of patients with a variety of wound aetiologies. The two dressings investigated were a hydrocolloid dressing and a hydrocellular dressing. Secondary objectives included a comparison of dressing durability, time to complete healing, ease of wound cleansing and dressing removal. The study was an open prospective single-centre random...

Nurses have shown a weakness both in recognising different types of exudate and in choosing an appropriate dressing (Smith and Gibson, 2011). In order to support nurses in identifying the correct dressing choice, an exudate wound decision algorithm has been developed. The algorithm suggests the type of dressing required for bleeding and infected wounds is a calcium alginate dressing with a silv...
