A case series was conducted to evaluate the clinical experience with a new hydroconductive wound dressing, that appears to help facilitate the removal of necrotic tissue and other deterrents to wound healing while preserving healthy granulation tissue in a wound. Eight patients were treated with the dressing which has a proprietary technology that draws fluid away from the wound. The dre...

Many chronic inflammations of the nose are characterized by the formation of granulation tissue infiltrated by chronic inflammatory cells, namely granulomata. Most of these granulomata are the result of a specific infectious organism and are termed 'specific granulomata'. In others, the aetiology is less clear and they are termed 'non-specific granulomata' or more familiarly to the otolaryngolo...

May Concentrate Iron ore, as a refractory iron concentrate, deteriorates the permeability of sintered layer during sintering process due to its fine particle size and poor granulating performance. Therefore, it cannot be widely used in ore sintering. In this study, strengthening granulation using pre-pelletizing expand utilization ratio was proposed. The experiments conventional granulation, si...

To capture the uncertainty of information or knowledge in information systems, various information granulations, also known as knowledge granulations, have been proposed. Recently, several axiomatic definitions of information granulation have been introduced. In this paper, we try to improve these axiomatic definitions and give a universal construction of information granulation by relating inf...

Endotracheal and endobronchial stenting, particularly with uncovered stents, can be complicated by stent fracture, granulation tissue formation, direct airway injury, and airway obstruction. While stent removal is possible, it can result in significant complications and long-term benefit is not guaranteed. Argon plasma coagulation can be employed to trim fractured stent fragments and remove gra...

A generalized multi-granulation rough set is proposed in this paper. In the new model, supporting characteristic function is defined and a parameter called information level is introduced to investigate that an object supports a concept precisely under majority granulations. Moreover, some important properties are discussed on the new multigranulation rough set. And it can be found that the pro...

Experiments were performed in parallel using six identical UASB (upflow anaerobic sludge blanket) reactors to examine the effects of iron (Fe2+) on sludge granulation during start-up. Introduction of Fe2+ at concentrations of 300 and 450 mg/L enhanced the granulation process in UASB reactors, while dosage of Fe2+ (150 mg/L) had little effect on the sludge granulation. The Fe2+concentration in g...

CONTRACTING GRANULATION TISSUES CONTAIN FIBROBLASTS THAT DEVELOP CHARACTERISTICS TYPICAL OF SMOOTH MUSCLE: (a) They contain an extensive cytoplasmic fibrillar system. (b) They show immunofluorescent labeling of their cytoplasm with human anti-smooth muscle serum. (c) The nuclei show complicated folds and indentations, indicative of cellular contraction. (d) There are cell-to-cell and cell-to-st...

This study compared the collateral tissue damage and incisional bridging with granulation tissue via histopathological examination following feline onychectomy performed by radiofrequency (RF) and carbon dioxide (CO(2)) laser. Two cats were euthanized, and their digits were harvested for histopathological evaluation on days 1, 3, and 7 post-onychectomy. Each digit was evaluated for total lesion...
