We describe the in situ production of a burn wound dressing applied to eschar that completely isolates burned tissue from contamination with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Anesthetized, adult rats were subjected to a scald burn over 10% of their body surfaces. One-half hour later a test dressing presumed to be a barrier to bacterial contamination of the wound was applied to the burned surface. Tannic ...

The introduction of newly devised wound dressing has been a major breakthrough in the management of wounds or infections. The aims of this paper are to isolate and identify bacterial species causing burn wound infections from a University-related Iranian hospital as well as determination of the antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolated microorganisms to newly devised nanocomposite materials ...

Wound healing is a natural reaction to injury witch results in restoration of tissue integrity. Repair consists of four phases: inflammation, re-epithelialization, angiogenesis, fibroblast recruitment and scarring. In this study the healig effect of Hypericum perforatum extract was investigated on open wound. Hydroalcoholic extract of Hypericum P. was prepared by maceration method. Newzeland ra...

     The effect of prepared Ayurvedic formulation was evaluated on excision and incision wound models in rats. The wound-healing activity was assessed by the rate of period of epithelialization and skin-breaking strength. Histological study of the granulation tissue was carried out to know the extent of collagen formation in the wound tissue. The Ayurvedic formulation prepared was then promoted...

OBJECTIVE Infections are one of the most important and potentially serious complications of burn wounds. Quantitative biopsy cultures are useful for showing that a burn wound infection is not present, but these cultures are not useful for showing that an infection is present. Swab cultures are used to diagnosis surface colonization and may not accurately reflect the organism(s) causing the woun...
