GRAFTING WITH FROG SKIN

Skin-Grafting

The Frog Skin Potential

For many years the isolated surviving frog skin has been among the favorite objects of electrophysiologists and students of ion transport. This interest has turned out to be rather rewarding. Not only is the frog skin preparation interesting in its own rights, but there is mounting evidence that it can serve as a model system for the study of properties found in many epithelial and glandular ti...

Skin Grafting of Burns

This book outlines the essential points of care which have proved of benefit in treating a large series of patients with full-thickness loss of skin and requiring skin grafting, at the Washington University Medical School Children's Hospital and Barnes Hospital, during the course of a long period. In the first chapter, the authors stato : ' In the extensive literature on burn's, there has been ...

K Fluxes in Frog Skin

A method has been developed for measuring K influx into the epithelial cells of frog skin from the inside solution. Diffusion delay in the connective tissue has been taken into account. Ninety-four per cent of skin K was found to exchange with K(42) in the inside solution with a single time constant. K influx showed saturation with increasing K concentration, was not altered by imposing a poten...

Repair of a Scalp Defect with Punctate Skull Fenestration and Skin Grafting

Reconstructing scalp defects can be challenging for a plastic surgeon. For this purpose, different procedures such as primary repair and coverage with skin grafts or flaps can be considered. Sometimes, the external table of the skull can be removed completely to the diploic space. At the same time or after the formation of granulation tissue, the diploic space can be covered with split-thicknes...
