The purpose of this systematic review and meta-review has shifted from assessing the consequences silver sulfadiazine with most different drugs (SSD) for burn recovery contamination prevention to novel dressings, without or silver. Burn units have be able better control sepsis. degree which a topical antibacterial agent is absorbed determines its effectiveness. Absorption may evaluated against ...

purpose: to evaluate the effectiveness of corneal collagen cross-linking with uv-a and riboflavin (cxl) for treatment of refractory herpes simplex virus necrotizing keratitis. case reports: two patients with a diagnosis of hsv necrotizing stromal keratitis referred to khalili hospital eye emergency room and who were resistant to conventional treatment underwent cxl. response to treatment was ev...

purpose : to evaluate the effect of topical diclofenac sodium 0.1% on the corneal epithelial healing after photorefractive keratectomy (prk) methods : in this prospective randomized double blind clinical trial, prk was performed on 82 patients. thirty-three cases of them receiving topical diclofenac four times per day after surgical procedure and 45 patients did not receive this medication as a...

We report a case of controlled buccal pemphigus vulgaris with compound moderate myopia with astigmatism that was treated with photorefractive keratectomy with mitomycin-C (PRK+MMC) in both eyes. The preoperative manifest refraction was -6.50 sphere and -5.5 -0.75 x 20 in the right eye and left eye, respectively, with a best corrected visual acuity of 10/10 in both eyes. Seven months after surge...

BACKGROUND Lower T-junction wound dehiscence following breast reduction surgery or mastopexy constitutes a vexing and grievous complication both to the surgeon and the patient. Treatment modalities that can expedite wound healing and reepithelialization rates are highly craved. The objective of this study was to assess wound healing and epithelialization rates of open wounds following breast re...

BACKGROUND The presence of oxygen is necessary for normal wound healing. Oxygen has been given as a therapeutic modality to assist and speed wound healing. OBJECTIVE The objective was to summarize the role of oxygen in wound healing. MATERIALS AND METHODS A literature review of clinical and basic science studies regarding oxygen and wound healing was conducted. RESULTS Hypoxia appears to ...

The alcoholic extract of Guazuma ulmifolia was evaluated for their wound healing activity in Albino Wistar rats using chemically induced wound model. The experimental animals were chemically burned by conc HCL (80%), and then divided into four groups, control, standard (Nitrofurazone 0.2% w/w), low dose (125 mg/kg) and high dose (250mg/kg). The reepithelialization was evaluated by the reducing ...

Modulation of cell : cell junctions is a key event in cutaneous wound repair. In this study we report that activation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor disrupts cell : cell adhesion, but with different kinetics and fates for the desmosomal cadherin desmoglein and for E-cadherin. Downregulation of desmoglein preceded that of E-cadherin in vivo and in an EGF-stimulated in vitro wound ...

We previously showed that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and an adenylyl cyclase inhibitor (ACI) stimulate mitogenic activation of senescent human diploid fibroblasts. Because the modulation of cell proliferation may affect wound healing in aged organisms, we studied the effects of LPA and ACI on in vivo skin wound healing in aged Fisher 344 rats. We found that, in aged rats, wound healing improve...
