the microorganisms have been noted as the main cause of delayed wound healing.the most common pathogen causing the wound infections is staphylococcus aureus. silver nanoparticles (agnps) show ample antibacterial activities. in the present study, the effect of agnps on mouse wounds inoculated with s. aureus was investigated. sixty male mice (20 to 30 g) were anesthetized, full-thickness skin wou...

introduction: it is believed that injury potential has a regulatory role in wound healing process and the application of exogenous electrical stimulation may serve to mimic the natural endogenous bioelectric current so that can improve the wound healing. up to now, this hypothesis has not been researched in surgically acute wounds. materials and methods: thirty nine male guinea pigs were random...

background thermal injury is associated with several biochemical and histopathological alteration in tissue. analysis of these objective parameters in research and clinical field are common to determine healing rate of burn wound. negative pressure wound therapy has been achieved wide success in treating chronic wounds. this study determines superficial burn wound healing with intermittent nega...

background: chronic wounds are a serious problem for the patient and can increase the socioeconomic burden on the healthcare system and community. this study aimed at investigating the effect of angioplasty on chronic ischemic wound healing. methods: this study was conducted in sina hospital, affiliated to tehran university of medical sciences. thirty-eight patients with chronic ischemic wounds...

Introduction: Impaired wound healing in diabetic patients is a major clinical problem, which is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Estrogen has positive effects on neoangiogenesis, reepithelialization and cell proliferation. In this research, effect of estrogen on wound healing in diabetic male rats was investigated. Methods: This study was performed on male Wistar rats (bo...

we present a 24-year-old female referred with non-healing wound of a few days duration on anterior aspect of her right foreleg. biopsy of the wound was reported to be pyoderma gangrenosum on pathologic report. further work up of the patient for high grade fever and occasional leukopenias revealed the diagnosis of cyclic neutropenia. treatment with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (g-csf) r...

Background: Plants and their phytochemicals have immense potential for the management of different types of wound. Salvia multicaulis Vahl. is an evergreen shrub species, which traditionally used as a wound healing agent. Objective: The aim of the present study is to evaluate phytochemicals and wound healing activity of S. multicaulis in an excision wound model. Methods: Preliminary phy...
