OBJECTIVE To determine if partial wound closure surrogate markers proposed for neuropathic, small diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) can be extended to advanced lesions and if the development of granulation tissue can be used to predict complete healing. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data from two multicenter, double-blind, randomized clinical trials (one of them placebo controlled) that used intrales...

The present study aimed to investigate the potential involvement of specific T-cell subpopulations in granulation tissue formation in chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). Fifteen patients with CSOM were enrolled in this study. Granulation tissues were obtained from the middle ear cavity. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was performed for histopathological observation, and different T-cell sub...

The possibility of significant systematic errors due to the use of 1D homogeneous atmospheres in lithium-abundance determinations of cool stars motivates a study of non-localthermodynamic-equilibrium (nlte) effects on Li I line formation in a 3D solar-granulation simulation snapshot. The nlte effect on the equivalent width of the 671nm resonance line is small in 1D models or in integrated light...

Perforation of floor of the dental pulp is often encountered during root canal treatment in routine clinical practice of dental caries. If perforation were large, granulation tissue would grow to form periodontal polyp. Granulation tissue consists of proliferating cells however their origin is not clear. It was shown that the cells in granulation tissue are mainly from migration of undifferenti...

The decrease in the rms contrast of time-averaged images with the averaging time is compared between four datasets: (1) a series of solar granulation images recorded at La Palma in 1993; (2) a series of artificial granulation images obtained in numerical simulations by Rieutord et al. (2002); (3) a similar series computed by Steffen and his colleagues (see Wedemeyer et al., 2004); (4) a random ...

shear and compressional wave velocities along with other petrophysical logs, are considered as upmost important data for hydrocarbon reservoirs characterization. shear wave velocity (vs) in well logging is commonly measured by some sort of dipole logging tools, which are able to acquire shear waves as well as compressional waves such as sonic scanner, dsi (dipole shear sonic imager) by schlumbe...

The utilization of negative pressure for medicinal purposes dates back to 600 bc. The U.S. military has been engaged in continuous overseas combat operations since 2001. Negative-pressure wound therapy has been in use in the treatment of casualties from these operations since 2004. It represents a new standard of practice in combat wound care; it promotes granulation tissue formation and create...

In this paper multi granulation rough sets is extended to variable precision to develop a model for multi-granulation variable precision rough sets. We define a lower approximation of the model and address the significance of granularity as heuristic information. We extend the ideas and design a granular space reduction algorithm of multi-granulation variable precision rough sets. Finally, an e...

The steel shear wall and composite steel plate shear wall is introduced in recent three decade and is considered and is spread rapidly. Composite steel plate shear wall which is made of a layer of thin steel sheet with coating of reinforced concrete in one or both sides of steel palate is considered a third generation of resistance shear walls against lateral loads that in addition to increasin...
