Aim: To compare mean per operative pain and mean operative time of steri strip vs suture closure of facial lacerations. Methods: A total of 190 children of either sex between 05-12 years of age with laceration less than 12 hours old and Laceration less than 3cm in length were included in the study from Trauma Centre Combined Military Hospital Rawalpindi during 2014 while the children with lacer...

I t has long been appreciated that angiogenesis can contribute to the induction or progression of several diseases, including retinopathies, arthritis, psoriasis, and cancer. 1,2 Because endothelial cells typically exist in a quiescent state in normal vessels, the molecular changes required for these cells to become proliferative and invasive have long been considered potential targets for the ...

To determine which method of skin closure was associated with less bleeding, 250 women were randomly allocated to have either a suture closure (3-0 Dexon II) or an adhesive strip closure (Steri-Strip) following subcutaneous insertion of hormone (HRT) implants. Data were collected via a tested questionnaire and analysed. Significantly, more women in the adhesive strip group recorded postprocedur...

Dear Editors, Adhesive strips are a fundamental device to achieve better wound closure, sometimes avoiding superficial sutures. Time-effective removal, easy application and early detection of infections are the key points to fulfill. An easy manner to achieve those goals is herein presented. As stated in a paper by Katz et al., steri strips are used in a number of settings: for adjunctive wound...

Negative-pressure wound therapy is routinely utilized in plastic surgery for the treatment of open wounds. However, a newer system, known as closed-incision management (CIM), may minimize the likelihood of open wounds. CIM is designed for use after primary surgical skin closure. Many studies of the effects of CIM in various surgical disciplines have been published. The main features of CIM are ...

quart bottle, through the rubber stopper of which pass two pieces of glass tubing,?one short,-just reaching the neck of the bottle. To this the can ill a is attached by about four feet of rubber tubing such as is used for infants' feeding bottles. The canuia can be made by the silversmith out of a rupee, or a hydrocele canuia can be firmly tied in. I have on one occasion used a small quill. The...

ABST RAC T : Observations with light and scanning electro n microscopes indicate the foliicolous chlorophyte Pf!ycopeltis baiuaiiensis King (Chroolepid aceae) is subcut icular and polystromatic, produces steri le hairs, and induces a distinct wounding, reaction in sub tending host tissue. In comparison , similar obse rvations on Pbycopeltis epiphyton and other P~ycopeltis species reveal that, a...
