BACKGROUND Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are a health problem in clinical care. Several options can be employed as adjuvant to standard treatment. OBJECTIVES We have aimed to analyze the effect of standard ulcer care alone with high-frequency ultrasound (HFU) and MIST ultrasound therapy on VLUs. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety patients with VLUs were assigned into the standard treatment, HFU and MIS...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) using Vacuum Assisted Closure (VAC) compared with Advanced Moist Wound Therapy (AMWT) to treat Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU). STUDY DESIGN Randomized control trial. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Surgical Department, Combined Military Hospital (CMH) / Military Hospital (MH), Rawalpindi, from November 2010 to June...

the incremental sheet metal forming (ismf) process is a new and flexible method that is well suited for small batch production or prototyping. this paper studies the use of the finite element method in the incremental forming process of aa1050 sheets to investigate the influence of tool diameter, vertical step size, and friction coefficient on forming force, spring-back, and thickness distribut...

Objective- to consider the influence of Aloe vera L fresh gel on healing process histopathologically. Design- Experimental study Animals- Five adult male mixed breed dogs aged 2-4 years Procedures- Eight symmetrical full-thickness wounds were surgically created on the back of all five dogs under general anesthesia and sterile condition. After wound creation, 1 ml fluid containing 10...

conclusions the crude hydroalcoholic extract of burdock root was found to cause better outcomes in the healing process, acute inflammation, and fibrosis on the 7th, 14th, and 21st day postoperatively. objectives in this experimental study, 36 male wistar rats each weighting approximately 200 - 220 g were studied in six groups, each with 6 animals for 21 days. hydroalcoholic extract of burdock r...

Results After aortic valve replacement there was a decrease in the ascending aorta and aortic root dimensions (p = 0.001, p = 0.001 respectively). Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and ejection fraction did not changed significantly after AVR. There were the correlations between the preoperative ascending aortic size and the preoperative and after the first year left ventricular end-diast...

PURPOSE Adhesion molecules play a critical role in leukocyte emigration to wound sites, but differences are evident in different vascular beds. In this study, the contributions of P-selectin to neutrophil emigration into the cornea after central epithelial abrasion were investigated. METHODS Re-epithelialization, neutrophil influx, and platelet accumulation were assessed in C57BL/6 mice after...
