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,...

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...

Recent clinical and experimental studies suggest that zinc deficiency may play an important role in the pathogenesis of (1) acrodermatitis enteropathica, and in certain cases of (2) hypogonadal dwarfism, (3) congenital malformations, (4) hypogeusia and hyposmia, (5) nyctalopia and (6) impaired wound healing. Distrubances of zinc metabolism also occur in a broad spectrum of other clinical disord...

Endoscopic scoring systems in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis aim to translate the assessment of mucosal disease activity into a quantified value. This value seeks to provide a clear, objective record of the endoscopic mucosal severity, which can then be used to guide medical management decisions. The primary driver of all endoscopic indices, however, is to define a scale of responsivene...

INTRODUCTION Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease, for which, scaling and root planning(SRP) is the common approach for non-surgical control of inflammation. Using lasers is anotherapproach in the first phase of periodontal treatment for control of inflammation. Diode laserhas some beneficial effects such as acceleration of wound healing, promotion of angiogenesisand augmentation of growth ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this review was to compare conventional against early/immediate loading protocols of implant-retained overdentures (IOD) in the edentulous mandible. MATERIAL AND METHODS Medline search via Ovid to extract prospective comparative studies on trials comparing the effect of timing of loading initiation on the success of mandibular IOD. The outcome of major interest was margi...

PURPOSE To investigate by histomorphometry the distraction osteogenesis by Ilizarov technique in dog radius with the use of autologous stem cells in regenerated bone. METHODS Ten dogs (20 radiuses) underwent the osteotomy of 20% of extension of their radiuses, and osteogenic distraction using the Ilizarov technique after this procedure at rate of 1mm per day divided into 0.5mm every 12 hours....

The effect of a complex preparation based on low molecular weight chitosan biopolymer and containing plasmochemically synthesized copper and zinc nanoparticles on healing of the experimental full-thickness conditionally aseptic and infected wounds was studied in 90 male white rats. The planimetric and morpho-histochemical studies characterizing the regenerative processes were carried out. The c...

Background and Objective: Skin ulcers and their slow healing are considered as one of the important medical aspects. Nowadays, various antibiotics and materials are used to accelerate the wound healing process. One of the methods taken in the field of wound healing is using ozone. On the other hand, one of the factors that hurt the speed of wound healing is stress. Therefore, the present study ...

Introduction: Several factors such as diseases, medications and humoral agents can delay or speed up wound healing process. Because of the limited information about the hormonal changes during wound healing, in this study the relationship between serum levels of growth hormone, insulin and cortisol and wound healing in normal and diabetic rats was evaluated. Methods: Male Wistar rats )weigh...
