the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of different time combinations of dexamethasoneand acetylcysteine on experimentally induced corneal ulcers in dogs. experimental corneal wounds werecreated surgically to the anterior one third of the cornea in the center of all eyes of 15 mixed breed dogs. the eyes were divided into five groups according to planned post-operative medications...

conclusions it seems that applying prp is an effective therapeutic approach for wound healing, and faster wound healing is expected due to the presence of more platelets and growth factors. results at the end of study, the prp group showed a greater reduction in the edema ecchymosed discharge approximation (reeda) score compared to the control group (85.5% reduction in the prp group; 72% in the...

results totally, 93.3% of lesions in the s.c group healed in the first 6 hours, while this rate was 40% in c.o group (p < 0.001). the healing ratio for improvement in the first 6 hours was 7 times more in the s.c group. in addition, 90% of infants in the sc group and 36.7% in the c.o group were improved completely in the first 3 days (p < 0.001). patients and methods a randomized, double blind,...

conclusions surgical wound infections are less common by using reusable retrieval bag during laparoscopic appendectomy procedure. also, using reusable retrieval bag has less cost. patients and methods one hundred twenty laparoscopic appendectomies performed over one year, were included in this retrospective study. the patients were divided into 2 group; group a was the one in which la was done ...

conclusions no correlation existed between cefazolin prophylaxis and postoperative infections in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients. there may be an increased risk of infection in patients with previous cholecystitis or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. in addition, there was an increased risk of postoperative infection in patients with gallbladder rupture and suction ...

healing of skin wound is a multi-factorial and complex process. proper treatment of diabetic wounds is still a major clinical challenge. although diabetes mellitus can occur in ruminants, healing of wounds in diabetic ruminants has not yet been investigated. the aim of this study was to evaluate healing of ovine excisional diabetic wound model. eight 4-month-old iranian makoui wethers were equa...

Objective-The aim of this study was to investigate the healing effects of Ag+- zeolite/gelatin nanocomposite on excisional wound healing in rat animal model. Design-Experimental study Animals-Eighteen male Sprague-Dawly rats weighing 200-220g Procedure- Ag+- zeolite/gelatin nanocomposite was fabricated by sol-...

background: regardless of numerous advances in surgical techniques, selection of the best technique to sew up wounds and the best suture material are still controversial. several postoperative complications, including wound infection, stitched wound, chronic incision pain, wound dehiscence and hernia stitches result from many factors such as used suture material. objectives: the aim of the pres...

The microorganisms have been usual noted as the major cause of delayed wound healing. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common pathogen causing these infections. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) show ample antibacterial activities. In present study, the effect of AgNPs alone and in combination with tetracycline investigated on inoculated wounds with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in mice. Twenty mice anes...
