this study was conducted to evaluate the burn wound healing and antioxidant activity of methanolic and aqueous extracts of galium odoratum (l.) scop. in rats. second degree burn wounds were induced in six groups of six rats each. groups 1 and 2 received eucerin and silver sulfadiazine as control and reference standard and groups 3, 4, 5 and 6 were given methanolic and aqueous extracts of 15% an...

Wound contraction can substantially reduce the amount of new tissue needed to reestablish organ integrity after tissue loss. Fibroblasts, rich in F-actin bundles, generate the force of wound contraction. Fibronectin-containing microfibrils link fibroblasts to each other and to collagen bundles and thereby provide transduction cables across the wound for contraction. The temporal relationships o...

clinical case reconstructed by Guido Majno (1975) from the Hippocratic records describes a wrestler who visits the iatreion (out-patient clinic) to be treated for a shoulder dislocation. With less invasive procedures no longer working to tighten the dislocation, the clinic adopts the drastic measure of inducing wound contraction by poking a hot needle through the skin of the armpit, and "in thi...
