the objective of this experiment was to determine the effects of different levels of nitrogen (n) and salinity on biochemical mechanisms of two wheat genotypes. a field experiment was carried out in a three replicate rcbd split factorial experiment in salinity station of college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran in 2007-2008 and 2008-2009. three levels of salt stress (1.3, 5,...

INTRODUCTION Obesity and certain medical disorders make the reconstruction of skin defects challenging. Different kind of procedure can be used for these defect, besides, skin grafting is one of the most common and simplest procedure. Fat grafting and stem cells which are located in the adipose tissue have been commonly used in plastic surgery for regeneration and rejuvenation purposes. To decr...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare the results of the halo split skin graft (HSSG) by two primary care skin cancer practitioners at one clinic at the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, to the results of the only previous study while adding to the body of evidence regarding use of the HSSG following excision of non-melanoma skin cancer on the leg. METHOD A retrospective review...

1. The electrophoretic activity of particles of human skin in distilled water and different concentrations of salt solutions has been studied. The electrokinetic potential and the charge density were determined and comparisons made with results obtained by electroendosmosis. 2. The electrokinetic potential is ultimately decreased if sufficient salt is added. The order of inhibition is Al > Ca >...

BACKGROUND Use of scalp as a donor site was reported for the first time in 1964. Since then, authors have described scalp as a donor site, which heals rapidly and re-growth of hair conceals the donor site. This study was aimed at evaluation of scalp as donor site by calculating the healing time, and frequency of post-operative complications. METHODS This was a descriptive study and was conduc...

All studies were categorised according to the strength of the evidence based on the following revised classification system. Level I Evidence obtained from a systematic review of all relevant randomised controlled trials. Level II Evidence obtained from at least one properly designed randomised controlled trial. Level III.1 Evidence obtained from well designed pseudo-randomised controlled trial...

BACKGROUND A tie-over dressing is the accepted method to secure skin grafts in order to prevent haematoma or seroma formation. We describe the novel application of a barbed suture tie-over for skin graft dressing. The barbs act as anchors in the skin so constant tensioning of the suture is not required. METHODS From January 2014 to August 2014 we used the technique in 30 patients with skin de...
