Rabbits receiving subcutaneous ascorbate after corneal wounding showed significant elevation of aqueous humor ascorbate levels but no enhancement of wound breaking strength when compared to controls. In a second group of rabbits, perilimbal alkali burning reduced aqueous humor ascorbate levels one-half to one-third normal. In these perilimbally burned eyes with wounds in clear cornea, subcutane...

Aqueous extract of the roots of Radix paeoniae (Paeonaceae) was screened for wound healing by excision, incision and dead space wound models on Wistar rats. The parameters studied were breaking strength in case of incision wounds, epithelialisation and wound contraction in case of excision wound and granulation tissue dry weight, breaking strength and hydroxyproline content in case of dead spac...

As furnished cages will be forbidden in Germany after 2011, research has been stimulated to develop small group housing systems and test their suitability particularly in respect to welfare and health issues. The objective of the present investigation was to assess bone breaking strength, keel bone deformity and egg quality (shell breaking strength) of Lohmann Silver (LS) and Lohmann Tradition ...

In this paper, we have proposed a system to grade CAPTCHA strength, according to various parameters determined by breaking the CAPTCHA. There are basically four major steps involved in the system.First step is preprocessing which includes – binarization and noise removal.Second step is segmenting the image into individual characters. Third step is to obtain skeletons of characters i.e., Thinnin...

The present study was aimed to evaluate the wound healing potential of aqueous extract of leaves of Ocimum kilimandscharicum. It is a well-known plant in Indian traditional medicine. On the basis of traditional use and literature references, this plant was selected for evaluation of wound healing potential. An aqueous extract of leaves was examined for wound healing activity at two different do...

Wound healing in diabetes is frequently impaired and its treatment remains a challenge. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) receives a wide attendance and is often used as a last resort treatment option, however, its effectiveness for many conditions is unproven. We tested the effect of HBOT on healing of diabetic ulcers in an animal experimental setting. Experimental diabetes was induced by intra...

The study incorporates the wound healing potential of Aegle marmelos fruit pulp extract (AME) on excision, incision, and dead space wound models in rats. AME (200 mg/kg) was administered orally once daily for variable days depending on the type of wound ulcer study. AME was studied for its wound breaking strength (incision wound), rate of contraction, period of epithelization and histology of s...
