the objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of topical administration of honey in prevention of or reduction in post-surgical peritoneal adhesions in dog. the study was conducted on 18 adultfemale mixed-breed dogs with a mean ± sd weight of 20 ± 4.25 kg. a standardized surgical trauma (serosaltrauma model) was made in the dogs’ descending colon to induce adhesion formation. t...

BACKGROUND The diagnostic accuracy of a 2-D transvaginal scan, which is commonly employed to evaluate the regularity and shape of the uterine cavity in subfertile women, is relatively poor compared with other diagnostic modalities like saline infusion sonography (SIS) or hysteroscopy. SIS is a minimally invasive, cost-effective and acceptable diagnostic modality. Therefore the aim of this syste...

BACKGROUND Arthrofibrosis in the suprapatellar pouch and anterior interval can develop after knee injury or surgery, resulting in anterior knee pain. These adhesions have not been biomechanically characterized. METHODS The biomechanical effects of adhesions in the suprapatellar pouch and anterior interval during simulated quadriceps muscle contraction from 0 to 90° of knee flexion were assess...

Cell motility necessitates the rapid formation and disassembly of cell adhesions. We have studied adhesions in a highly motile melanoma cell line using various biochemical approaches and microscopic techniques to image close adhesions. We report that WM-1617 melanoma cells contain at least two types of close adhesion: classic focal adhesions and more extensive, irregularly shaped adhesions that...

Intra-abdominal adhesions are almost inevitable after major abdominal surgery. Postoperative adhesions continue to be the major cause of small bowel obstruction and infertility. Peritoneal lesions caused by abrasion, ischemia, desiccation, infection, thermal injury and foreign bodies are the origin of adhesions. Fibrinous adhesions that develop within a few hours of operational trauma. This fib...

rohrer's ponderal index in newborns (birth weight * 100/height3) has been used as an indicator of fetal growth status, especially to assess asymmetrical intrauterine growth retardation. low ponderal index or disproportionate intrauterine growth retardation has higher neonatal morbidity and there are some specific guidelines in intrauterine growth retarded infants to control some of their p...
