BACKGROUND To better clinical outcomes, open reduction and internal fixations (ORIFs) have been commonly performed in the case of closed displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (CDICFs). Nonetheless, postoperative wound complications remain a significant problem. Therefore, the aim of our study is to summarise relevant evidence investigating the risk factors for postoperative wound compli...

Wound management is to provide an appropriate environment for the wound its healing without breakdown of skin. It ongoing treatment process that includes size, severity, depth, and location wound. Carbon-based nanomaterials have greater potential chronic infections as compared conventional approaches. The physiochemical properties these nanostructured materials may enable clinicians develop mor...

Background & aim: Episiotomy is a common medical procedure for widening the perineum. In fact, perineal pain is the most common complaint after episiotomy. Therefore, it is important to determine factors associated with postoperative pain following episiotomy in order to provide comfort for women after delivery. This study aimed to investigate factors associated with postoperative pain followin...

Sepsis remains the major cause of death in patients with major burn injuries. In the present investigation we evaluated the interaction between burn injuries of varying severity and preexisting distant infection. We used Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus mirabilis) that were genetically engineered to be bioluminescent, which allowed for noninvasive, sequential optical i...

The purpose of inflicting wounds on enemy personnel is to cause a military loss. The military tactician has not attempted to translate the severity of a casualty (except possibly for the fatality) into the resulting military loss, despite its obvious importance, probably for lack of a reasonable way to accomplish such a translation. The ballistician, also, needs a method for determining militar...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the process of corneal wound healing after penetrating injury with the change in optical intensity on anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and to investigate factors associated with severity of corneal scar. Forty-seven eyes from 47 patients with repaired corneal laceration were included. AS-OCT was performed on 1day, 1week, 1, 3 and...

Objectives- To evaluate the efficacy of platelet rich- plasma (PRP) and plasma rich-growth factor (PRGF®) on the wound healing on distal aspect of horses limbs. Design- Experimental study Animals - Four mixed- breed adult horses, 13 to 21 years of age and weighting 381 ±85 kg Procedures- The Limbs of each horse were treated with PRP, PRGF®, Silver Sulfa diazin and one limb received no treatment...
