TREATMENT OF AVULSED SKIN FLAPS

Effects of oral gavage treatment of Eupatilin on protection of skin flaps in rats

Introduction: Nowadays, skin flaps are used to repair wounds, skin lesions and in reconstructive surgeries. In this way, the main problem is loss of flap tissue and necrosis, due to processes that result from ischemia-reperfusion injury and reactive oxygen species. Eupatilin is an O-methylated flavone derived from Artemisia plants that demonstrates anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and anti-tu...

Skin Grafts and Flaps (compromised)

Rationale Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy is neither necessary nor recommended for the support of normal, uncompromised skin grafts or flaps. However, in tissue compromised by irradiation or in other cases where there is decreased perfusion or hypoxia, HBO2 has been shown to be extremely useful in flap salvage. Hyperbaric oxygen can help maximize the viability of the compromised tissue thereby...

Multidisciplinary treatment of an avulsed central incisor.

A 16-year-old female presented with the chief concern of esthetic deficiency caused by a missing tooth (Fig. 1A). She had lost her maxillary right central incisor in a cycling accident nine years previously. The tooth, which had been avulsed during the accident, was reimplanted and subjected to endodontic therapy several days later, but was lost again in a second traumatic avulsion after a few ...

more physiological action profile. Apart from the practical problems of assessing the depth of subcutaneous tissue in a large number of patients-and the provision of a range of needle lengths-longer term studies are needed on blood glucose control, the relative rate of hypoglycaemia, effects of exercise, and patient acceptability. Until such data are available it may perhaps be wise to recommen...
