A new development of hybrid in-process electrical dressing of metal-bonded diamond grinding wheels is proposed in this paper. The electrical dressing method is used for overcoming the limitations of the conventional dressing methods available in relation to a super-abrasive wheel because of the hardness of its abrasive grains and the durability of its bonding material. The proposed hybrid in-pr...

BACKGROUND Skin graft is one of the commonly done procedures by plastic surgeons, dermato surgeons and general surgeons. Pain at the donor area is a common complaint by the patient. The skin graft donor site area is usually covered with petrolatum dressing dermatosurgeons. AIM This study was done to compare collagen dressing with petroleum gauze dressing in control of post-operative pain on s...

A variety of dressings are used for the management of paediatric burns. Aquacel Ag® is a silver-impregnated hydrofibre that releases silver within the dressing for up to two weeks. It has been reported in the literature that it is a beneficial dressing for the management of partial-thickness burns. It promotes an appropriate environment for re-epithelialization of the burn wound. The aim of thi...

BACKGROUND This study compared the effects of three silver dressing combinations on small to medium size acute partial thickness burns in children, focusing on re-epithelialization time, pain and distress during dressing changes. METHOD Children (0-15 years) with clean, ≤ 10% total body surface area (TBSA) partial thickness burns who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Chil...

OBJECTIVES This study was designed to investigate the effect on skin temperature of different methods of use of a hydrogel dressing. METHODS Twelve volunteers had temperature measured under a hydrogel dressing with different combinations of air movement and bandaging. RESULTS A large drop in skin temperature was only achieved when the dressing was left exposed with air movement over the sur...

Despite the prevalence of different kinds of wounds among people around the world, challenges ahead for managing wound healing continues. One of the most important issues for wound healing is infection that can delay healing process. Also, drug-resistant infections are growing as a worrying challenge in medicine. A lot of studies done over different methods to improve wound healing process, whi...

OBJECTIVE Drawtex's ability to remove pathogens and associated virulence factors has been demonstrated in vitro. A model of burn wound infection was used to characterize the in vivo impact of this dressing on infection and wound healing. METHODS Paired burn wounds were created on the dorsum of Sprague Dawley rats and were inoculated with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Ani...

We investigate the effectiveness of window-dressing as a potential strategy to be used by mutual fund managers to promote fund flows. Using a rank gap measure as a proxy for the likelihood that window-dressing has occurred, we find that fund investors as whole punish those managers who are suspected to have engaged in window-dressing. That is, we find a negative relation between the window-dres...
