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...

The modern distribution automation suggests to enable decentralized self-healing of networks using advance metering and controlling infrastructure. Decentralized fault location isolation, as an essential vital component self-healing, has attracted considerable attention over the years. In this paper, integrated isolation strategy based on fully multi-agents system (FDMAS) is presented for with ...

Self-healing systems require that repair mechanisms are available to resolve problems that arise while the system executes. Managed execution environments such as the Common Language Runtime (CLR) and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) provide a number of application services (application isolation, security sandboxing, garbage collection and structured exception handling) which are geared primarily at...

This article is focused on improving the quality of addiction treatment. Based on observations that patients are leaving treatment too early and/or are continuing to use substances during their care, the authors propose six actions that could help reorient and revitalize this kind of clinical work: (1) conceptualize and treat addictive disorders within a psychiatric/mental health framework; (2)...

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...

A review of the literature (Part 1 in this series) revealed the power and pitfalls of being female and being a healer, A qualitative study of medical-surgical nurses (Part 2) gave a glimpse of the satisfaction, frustration, and confusion nurses experience as healers. In particular, participants did not engage in regular self-care behaviors and did not articulate ways to create healing environme...

Recent observations on the dynamics of crack and fault rupture are described, together with related theory and simulations in the framework of continuum elastodynamics. Topics include con gurational instabilities of tensile crack fronts (crack front waves, disordering, sidebranching), the connection between frictional slip laws and modes of rupture propagation in earth faulting, especially cond...

The integration of different technologies such as ATM, SDH, and ABSTFWCT WDM in multilayer transport networks raises many questions regarding the coordination of the individual network layers. Especially in the area of network survivability, much can be gained by a better alignment of the healing actions taken by different network layers in case of outages. Survivability issues encountered in a...
