Penile reconstruction following cancer resection has long been a challenge due to demand for both aesthetic and functional preservation. Although various methods have attempted to achieve both goals, none have succeeded entirely. In this report, we introduce a novel reconstructive technique on a 64-year-old patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the glans penis. The technique consisted of two ...

Abstract This research was conducted with the aim of making an alternative, nature-based biopolymer formed from extraction jackfruit peel pectin as a substitute for commercial polymers. The manufacture this is carried out by means laboratory tests using conventional methods chemical process on skin. raw material used skin (Artocarpus integer). Processing into several procedures such citric acid...

High numbers of adult stem cells are still required to improve the formation of new vessels in scaffolds to accelerate dermal regeneration. Recent data indicate a benefit for vascularization capacity by stimulating stem cells with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In this study, stem cells derived from human skin (SDSC) were activated with LPS and seeded in a commercially available dermal substitute to...

BACKGROUND Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) is a rare toxin-mediated skin disease caused by Staphylococcus aureus and seen in infants and children younger than 5 years. OBJECTIVES The supportive role of skin substitutes in SSSS is stressed as a new and relatively unknown method. METHODS Retrospective observational case-series study, in neonates and young infants diagnosed with SS...

The onslaught of COVID 19 forced the closures schools, but upon their gradual reopening need for high quality substitute school teachers was at an all-time high. Although many districts were in well before pandemic struck, this disease illuminated fact that across nation short supply. In economic environment where other jobs may offer higher pay, more benefits, less stress, and professional res...

UNLABELLED Background. It was hypothesized that the rate of wound closure and the number of grafts required will be the same when treating diabetic foot ulcers with TheraSkin®, a cryopreserved split-thickness skin allograft (SSA), as compared to Apligraft®, a bioengineered skin substitute (BSS). METHODS A prospective study using sequentially enrolled patients seen in a large podiatric practi...

Tissue-engineered skin represents a useful strategy for the treatment of deep skin injuries and might contribute to the understanding of skin regeneration. The use of dermal papilla cells (DPCs) as a dermal component in a permanent composite skin with human hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) was evaluated by studying the tissue-engineered skin architecture, stem cell persistence, hair regeneratio...

Aim: Estimate the effectiveness of the Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) into managing a complex peristomal skin complication in a patient with a urostomy. The goal was to improve the conditions of the skin in order to concede stoma management with the appropriate ostomy device. The clinical condition of the patient was exasperated by her overall status: advanced neoplasia, skin deteriorat...

Chronic wounds, such as leg ulcers associated with sickle cell disease, occur consequence of a prolonged inflammatory phase during the healing process. They are extremely hard to heal and persist significant health care problem due absence effective treatment uprising number patients. Indeed, there is critical need develop novel cell- tissue-based therapies treat these chronic wounds. Developme...
