OBJECTIVE Impairment of wound healing is a well-recognized sequelae of conditions that alter immune function, including diabetes, jaundice, and advanced age. There is also growing evidence that psychological stress has adverse consequences for immune function. This study addressed the effects of a commonplace stressor on wound healing. METHOD Two punch biopsy wounds were placed on the hard pa...

The aim of this paper is to describe a case of implant-prosthetic rehabilitation in a patient with periodontitis, focusing on the different timing of implant placement. After initial periodontal treatment, teeth with advanced mobility degree and severe bone resorption were extracted. At different healing time oral implants were placed in a prosthetic-guided position. After osseointegration peri...

The establishment of a suitable animal model of repair of the rotator cuff is difficult since the presence of a true rotator cuff anatomically appears to be restricted almost exclusively to advanced primates. Our observational study describes the healing process after repair of the cuff in a primate model. Lesions were prepared and repaired in eight 'middle-aged' baboons. Two each were killed a...

In modern networks, advanced and novel concepts are being deployed for the provision of protected services to the end user. Amongst these, the self-healing concept refers to the capability of the network to restore services in a distributed way without any immediate operator intervention, this in order to assure delivery of constant quality services under fault conditions. In this paper, the Se...

Honey has been considered as a remedy in wound healing since ancient times. However, as yet, there are inadequate supportive robust randomized trials and experimental data to fully accept honey as an effective medical product in wound care. Manuka honey has been claimed to have therapeutic advantages over other honeys. Recently, it has been documented that the pronounced antibacterial activity ...

a chronic wound is a wound that does not heal in an orderly set of stages and in a predictable amount of time or wounds that do not heal within three months are often considered chronic. chronic wounds often remain in the inflammatory stage for too long and may never heal or may take years. chronic wound patients often report pain as dominant in their lives. persistent pain is the main problem ...

BACKGROUND Bio-enhanced ACL repair, where the suture repair is supplemented with a biological scaffold, is a promising novel technique to stimulate healing after ACL rupture. However, the histological properties of a successfully healing ACL and how they relate to the mechanical properties have not been fully described. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to determine which histol...

Non-healing skin ulcers are often resistant to most common therapies. Treatment with growth factors has been demonstrated to improve closure of chronic wounds. Here we investigate whether lyophilized culture supernatant of freshly isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) is able to enhance wound healing. PBMC from healthy human individuals were prepared and cultured for 24 hours. Supe...

Introduction: Diabetic complications as peripheral neuropathy and delayed wound healing affect patient’s quality of life may lead to amputation. Several mechanisms are involved in mediating these including accumulation Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) the subsequent state inflammation which were investigated current study. Methos: A fixed size was induced STZ-diabetic rats effect diabetes...

The silver content of the skin regeneration ointments can influence its process but in meantime, it take benefit antibacterial properties by avoiding bacterial infection an open wound. In current study, healing and capacity bioactive glass with spherical gold nanocages (BGAuIND) Vaseline were evaluated vivo comparing (BG)-Vaseline (BGAuSP)-Vaseline ointments. Spherical are stabilized as a conse...
