Prognosis of Full-Thickness Skin Defects in Premature Infants
BACKGROUND In the extremities of premature infants, the skin and subcutaneous tissue are very pliable due to immaturity and have a greater degree of skin laxity and mobility. Thus, we can expect wounds to heal rapidly by wound contraction. This study investigates wound healing of full-thickness defects in premature infant extremities. METHODS The study consisted of 13 premature infants who ha...
متن کاملDevelopment of skin barrier function in premature infants.
Histologic analysis suggests that epidermal development is complete in utero at approximately 34 wk gestational age. Infants born more prematurely have elevated rates of both transepidermal water loss and transcutaneous heat loss, and have difficulty maintaining homeostasis. The underdeveloped integument is also a portal of entry for infection and the percutaneous uptake of toxins. Previous mea...
متن کاملLimited-sampling strategies for anti-infective agents: systematic review.
BACKGROUND Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) is a pharmacokinetic parameter that represents overall exposure to a drug. For selected anti-infective agents, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic parameters, such as AUC/MIC (where MIC is the minimal inhibitory concentration), have been correlated with outcome in a few studies. A limited-sampling strategy may be used to estimate pharmacokine...

According to a 2012 US Department of Health and Human Services news release, "Every day, approximately 1 in every 20 patients has an infection related to the patient's hospital care." SSIs exact a huge...
