A Plea for the extended use of Unna's Paste Bandages.

3 layer paste bandages were more effective than 4 layer bandages for healing venous leg ulcers.

et al. Randomized clinical trial of three-layer paste and four-layer bandages for venous leg ulcers. Q Are 3 layer paste bandages as effective as 4 layer bandages for healing of venous leg ulcers? METHODS Design: randomised controlled trial. Setting: a hospital leg ulcer outpatient clinic in London, UK. Patients: 133 patients (56% men) with venous leg ulcers. Exclusion criteria: arterial diseas...

A Plea for Harm Reduction Policing Involving People Who Use Drugs

Short-stretch or four-layer compression bandages: an overview of the literature.

Venous ulcers are a common, costly occurrence. Treatment typically includes the use of short-stretch and four-layer bandages--both with demonstrated ability to increase venous return and healing rates. Which is superior is unclear. To determine whether short-stretch bandages or four-layer compression systems provide shorter healing times and fewer adverse events when used in adults with venous ...

The effects of cadexomer iodine paste in the treatment of venous leg ulcers compared with hydrocolloid dressing and paraffin gauze dressing. Cadexomer Iodine Study Group.

BACKGROUND The aim was to examine cadexomer iodine paste in a comparative clinical trial. METHODS A 12-week, randomized, open, controlled, multicenter, multinational trial in patients with exudating, venous leg ulcers of cadexomer iodine paste (Iodosorb/Iodoflex), hydrocolloid dressing (Duoderm E, Granuflex E), or paraffin gauze dressing (Jelonet) was carried out. All patients used short-stre...

A Sensitive Novel Approach towards the Detection of 8-Hydroxyquinoline at Anionic Surfactant Modified Carbon Nanotube Based Biosensor: A Voltammetric Study

A rapid electrochemical technique was developed to determine 8-Hydroxyquinoline (8HQ). In the current study, the anionic surfactant Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) was immobilized on the multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) paste surface for the fabrication of electrode to detect 8HQ in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) of pH 7.0. The response of SLS modified carbon nanotube paste electrode (SLSMCNTP...
