This paper summarizes the opinions of experts who participated in designing the environment of a children's hospital and reports the results of a questionnaire survey conducted among hospital users. The grounded theory method was adopted to analyze 292 concepts, 79 open codes, 25 axial codes, and 4 selective codes; in addition, confirmatory factor analysis and reliability analysis were performe...

abstract background: pressure ulcer is one of the main concerns of nurses in medical centers around the world, which, if untreated, causes irreparable problems for patients. in recent years, nitric oxide (no) has been proposed as an effective method for wound healing. this study was conducted to determine the effect of nitric oxide on pressure ulcer healing. materials and methods: in this clini...

In Plastic Surgery, cell culture represents the perspective of studying cellular mechanisms that guide the healing process of several tissues. Some steps of the healing process depend on physical factors as the tissular partial pressure of O2. In cell culture, it is possible to submit cells to hypoxic enviroment. The present study reports an alternative method at low cost for the establishment ...

The influence of reduced barometric pressure on the development and healing of staphylococcal skin lesions in mice was investigated by exposing groups of animals to the test environment before, after, or before and after subcutaneous inoculation with 3.5 X 108 colony-forming units of a phage type 80 strain of Staphylococcus aureus. Similarly infected control animals were not exposed to the expe...

A non-union, especially atrophic non-unions, is a permanent failure of healing following a fracture and can be difficult to treat. Approximately 5-10% of fractures will result in a non-union during the healing process. non-unions can be classified into two types: atrophic non-union which is often due to impaired bone healing with a potential biological mechanism, and hypertrophic non-union whic...

Self-healing concrete has emerged as a promising technology in the field of sustainable infrastructure due to its ability repair cracks and prolong lifespan structures. This innovative material potential revolutionize construction industry by reducing maintenance costs, minimizing environmental impact, enhancing durability infrastructure. In this abstract, we explore concept self-healing concre...

A pleochroic MOF is ferroelastic under high pressure, but it not affected by temperature changes. The transition pressure depends on the guest and environment. crystals are capable of self-healing normal conditions.
