Burn waste treatment is done by two methods: excision and then skin graft after the formation of granulation tissue; and excision and graft simultaneou...

The objective of this case series was to describe and evaluate full-thickness skin grafting of equine wounds. Six adult horses were used in the study. A full-thickness graft was harvested from the pectoral region with the horse anaesthetised or standing and sedated after local anaesthetic infiltration. Grafts were attached to the cutaneous margin of the wound with staples and/or sutures if the ...

The immune system of patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) reconstitutes to a large extent during the first years after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It was suggested, however, that accelerated loss of thymus output may cause impaired immune function at the long term. To address this issue, we studied patients with SCID who underwent allogeneic HSCT 5 to 32 yea...

In a series of Polynesian pearls collected after short cultivation periods, early post-grafting mineral deposits were characterized by high resolution synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence with unprecedented accuracy. Morphological patterns and elemental composition are correlated through simultaneous imaging processes. Evidence that aragonite calcite occur in neighboring units during the earlie...
