BACKGROUND A chronic dermatosis like nummular dermatitis may be complicated by contact dermatitis due to an impaired cutaneous barrier. This study is aimed at evaluating secondary contact dermatitis in patients with nummular dermatitis. METHODS Patch testing with the Indian Standard Series was performed in 50 of 78 patients with a clinical diagnosis of nummular eczema. Significant reactions w...

OBJECTIVE This study was carried out to investigate the influence of pulsed-wave low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the healing of a deep second-degree burn model in rat. BACKGROUND DATA Review of literature indicates that LLLT has a biostimulatory effect on wound healing; however, no clear recommendation can yet be made. METHODS Two deep second-degree burns were made in the skin of 67 rats....

BACKGROUND Split- thickness skin graft is one of the most common operations in plastic surgery. It is always painful and patient discomfort from donor site often is more significant than recipient site. There is not still a standard method for treatment of the donor site. The purpose of this study was to determine the best method of dressing the donor site among three different methods with re...

BACKGROUND Contact dermatitis, as a cutaneous complication after rhinoplasty, is of early onset, limited and transient. The cause of this dermatitis is irritant or allergic. Late onset skin complications are rare and non-inflammatory. CASE PRESENTATION We are reporting an unexpected, severe allergic contact dermatitis of the face, in a young female, appearing one month following aesthetic rhi...

Ovarian toxicity and/or carcinogenicity has been documented for at least eight chemicals recently tested in National Toxicity Program prechronic and chronic rodent studies. The chemicals that yielded treatment-related ovarian lesions were 1,3-butadiene, 4-vinylcyclohexene, vinylcyclohexene deipoxide, nitrofurantoin, nitrofurazone, benzene, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, and tricresylphosphate. T...

A liquid chromatographic method coupled with UVVis and photodiode–array detection for the determination of nitrofuran residues: nitrofurazone, nitrofurantoin, furazolidone, and furaltadone in water was developed and validated. Confirmation of the identity of nitrofurans was performed by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization interface. The nitrofur...

The chemical hydroxymethylation of the antimicrobial nitrofurazone leads to prodrug NFOH, also increases anti-T. cruzi activities (in vitro and in vivo), as well showed non-genotoxic (Ames micronucleus assays). In present study, we assessed effect NFOH vivo - acute Swiss C57Bl/6 experimental Chagas models. treatment started at 5 days post-infection during 20 consecutive (orally, once day, 150mg...

Background & Aim: Routine treatment of burn injuries is dressing with Nitrofurazone ointment. It has several complications, including sensitivity. Aloe Vera a traditional for wound healing. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness gel ointment in healing superficial partial-thickness burns.
