Two of the important parameters in grinding operation are surface roughness of the workpiece and the amount of consumed energy. These parameters are strongly affected by the condition of grinding wheel surface which is dependent on the dressing parameters. Predicting the roughness of the grinding wheel surface after dressing with known dressing parameters can improve the grinding process. Resea...

Nurses have shown a weakness both in recognising different types of exudate and in choosing an appropriate dressing (Smith and Gibson, 2011). In order to support nurses in identifying the correct dressing choice, an exudate wound decision algorithm has been developed. The algorithm suggests the type of dressing required for bleeding and infected wounds is a calcium alginate dressing with a silv...

this case report describes a 59-year-old woman with a giant basal cell carcinoma on the face neglected for 11 years. surgical resection of the lesion resulted in a 13 × 11 cm defect. issues regarding the adequately safe surgical margins and the management of the resultant defect through modern wound dressing technologies are discussed. keywords : giant basal cell carcinoma, modern dressing, gel...

Introduction Cancer wounds need regular dressing; else they develop infection, foul odor, and in extreme cases, maggots. Patients resist dressing due to the severe incidental pain during dressing. Intranasal ketamine was tried as an analgesic to reduce this incidental pain. Materials and Methods Twenty patients with wounds requiring regular dressing were selected; these patients had a basal p...

BACKGROUND The economic impact of adding chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG)-impregnated sponge dressing to standard care (ie, chg-impregnated sponge dressing + skin preparation and transparent film dressing vs skin preparation and transparent film dressing) for the prevention of central-line infections was evaluated. METHODS Clinical and economic data were obtained from peer-reviewed published stu...

A dressing technique is used to improve zero range potential (ZRP) model. We consider a Darboux transformation starting with a ZRP, the result of the " dressing " gives a potential with non-zero range that depends on a seed solution parameters. Concepts of the partial waves and partial phases for non-spherical potential are used in order to perform Darboux transformation. The problem of scatter...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the acceptability, tolerance and efficacy of Urgotul wound dressing in the management of epidermolysis bullosa (EB) skin lesions. METHOD This was an open-label uncontrolled clinical trial involving 20 patients (I I adults and nine children) with EB simplex or dystrophic EB. Patients were selected from the register of EB patients at the investigating centre and included i...
