Abstract Zalacca ( Salacca edulis ) consists of three main parts namely skin, flesh, and seeds. The most utilize part zalacca is the meat, while skin seeds were throwing away as waste. Currently, industries have started to process into powder that can be brewed substitute for coffee. However, there still lack scientific research has been done on active compounds This study aimed observe compoun...

Collagen and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) dermal skin substitutes (membranes) were studied as substrates for cultured human epidermal keratinocytes. Structure of dermal substitutes was optimized for pore size to promote ingrowth of fibrovascular tissue from the wound bed and for culture of human keratinocytes of the membrane's surface. Pore size of the freeze-dried material was regulated by control ...

The detection of skin pigment is crucial in the diagnosis of skin diseases and in the evaluation of medical cosmetics and hairdressing. Accuracy in the detection is a basis for the prompt cure of skin diseases. This study presents a method to recognize and measure human skin pigment using Hemoglobin-Melanin (HM) coordinate. The proposed method extracts the skin area through a Gaussian skin-colo...

A bilaminated dermal regeneration substitute usually requires a two-step procedure to achieve wound closure. Integra thin® (Integra Life sciences Crop., NJ, USA) is thinner than bilayer Integra® and does not require additional waiting time for the formation of neodermis, making it possible undertake reconstruction full-thickness skin defects in single-stage procedure. We describe successful use...

in this study, considering the normal ingredients in guinea pig's milk, by using cow milk, mixture of vitamins and minerals, a milk substitute was prepared and sterilized by autoclaving and filtration methods. in food analysis of produced milk, the important substances values, such as protein, fat and ash, were suitable. milk substitute was fed to four groups of newborn's guinea pigs that we...

Skin replacement is of major concern especially for burnt people and giant nevi. According to our knowledge in modelling pigmented skin, we decided develop an artificial, autologous skin therapeutic use. Our models were made on dead deepidermized dermis, which do not allow standardization procedure. Thus, since dermal collagen-based matrices such as IntegraTM or Matriderm® used substitute from ...

PURPOSE The aim of our study was to evaluate the potential of real-time spatial compound imaging (RTSCI) in dermatology. MATERIALS AND METHODS An ATL 5000 SonoCT equipped with compact linear 15-7 MHz and linear 12-5 MHz transducers was obtained for skin visualization in a group of dermatological patients with various skin diseases. RESULTS Thirty-four people participated: 21 patients with v...

Reporting two cases one of centimetres breadth and the other four exposed tibia bone devoid periosteum due to post debridement involving elevator remove infective tissue which was successfully covered by a simple procedure with MatriDerm® split skin graft in single stage. Tibia not drilled sprout granulation from marrow create granulated vascularised bed for second-stage grafting. It avoided lo...

UNLABELLED Outpatient wound care centers are encountering patients with more complex wounds and an increased incidence of concomi- tant complicating comorbidities. As the population ages, patients with chronic wounds are presenting with multiple active disease processes that cause initiation of the wounds, impede wound healing, and pre- clude safely proceeding with surgical procedures, under a...
