OBJECTIVES Foam sclerotherapy effectiveness mainly depends on the concentration of the sclerosing agent and foam stability. The objective of this study was to determine if the addition of glycerol at different concentrations contributes to the stability of polidocanol foam. MATERIALS AND METHODS CONTROL GROUP 3% polidocanol. Group 1: polidocanol 3% + glycerin 1.66%. Group 2: polidocanol 3%...

Management of hypertrophic and keloid scars can be difficult. This article presents an initial report on use of a glycerin-based gel sheeting to manage or prevent these scars. The results were comparable to those achieved with silicone sheeting, a typical treatment. Clinically, the glycerin-based sheeting was well tolerated, appeared to be effective, and was less expensive than the silicone she...

PURPOSE To compare two sclera decontamination methods: treatment with glycerin versus treatment with gamma irradiation, alkali and glycerin, aiming to detect the clinical and histological alterations in rabbit anophthalmic sockets reconstructed with sclera-involved polymethylmethacrylate spheres. METHODS Thirty-nine New Zealand-breed rabbits were divided into two groups: group I, whose animal...

An experiment was conducted with 72 Bovans Brown laying hens to determine the effect of dietary crude glycerin on laying performance; egg quality; retention of N, Ca, and P; and metabolizability of energy. The dietary treatments consisted of a control corn-soybean diet containing 6% corn starch (17% CP, 2,775 kcal/kg of AME(n), 0.81% lysine, 0.36% methionine, 3.60% Ca, and 0.37% available P) an...

Cereal Chem. 72(1):1-6 Glass transition temperature (Tg) and mechanical and water vapor However, the Tg failed to change with solute composition and exhibited barrier properties of wheat gluten films containing glycerin, sucrose, low correlation with barrier and mechanical properties. Initial addition glycerin-sucrose, and glycerin-sorbitol were studied. Glycerin and sucrose of glycerin increas...
