Deep Wounds: Colostrum Dressing Versus Conventional Dressing Sanjay Chatterjee and 2 Rituraj Assistant Professor, 2 Resident, Department of General Surgery NIMS Medical College and Hospital, Jaipur, India *Corresponding Author : Sanjay Chatterjee Abstract Wound dressing plays an important role in wound healing. Newer type of wound dressings includes Biological dressings like collagen granules, ...

Aim To do in vitro test to assess the efficacy of hydrophobic dressing Cutimed® Sorbact® to bind multiresistant bacteria that caused wound infection, the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Method This was a cross sectional study that was conducted in the Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, on January 2009. In-vitr...

This study compares the costs of dressings used in the treatment of patients with a variety of wound aetiologies. The two dressings investigated were a hydrocolloid dressing and a hydrocellular dressing. Secondary objectives included a comparison of dressing durability, time to complete healing, ease of wound cleansing and dressing removal. The study was an open prospective single-centre random...

Nurses have shown a weakness both in recognising different types of exudate and in choosing an appropriate dressing (Smith and Gibson, 2011). In order to support nurses in identifying the correct dressing choice, an exudate wound decision algorithm has been developed. The algorithm suggests the type of dressing required for bleeding and infected wounds is a calcium alginate dressing with a silv...

Two of the important parameters in grinding operation are surface roughness of the workpiece and the amount of consumed energy. These parameters are strongly affected by the condition of grinding wheel surface which is dependent on the dressing parameters. Predicting the roughness of the grinding wheel surface after dressing with known dressing parameters can improve the grinding process. Resea...

BACKGROUND Hydrocellular foam dressing, modern wound dressing, induces moist wound environment and promotes wound healing: however, the regulatory mechanisms responsible for these effects are poorly understood. This study was aimed to reveal the effect of hydrocellular foam dressing on hyaluronan, which has been shown to have positive effects on wound healing, and examined its regulatory mechan...

Nosocomial infections present a growing challenge in wound care, especially in light of the rising distribution of multiresistant bacterial strains. Because wounds are an ideal breeding ground for pathogens, special care must be taken in choosing the right dressing. Following the traditional preventive approach, exposure of the nursing staff as well as the wounds to pathogens should be reduced....

We investigate bank holding companies’ window dressing of quarter-end short-term borrowings. We find evidence of downward window dressing of short-term borrowings through repo and federal funds that appears material for a large fraction of the sample. Such downward window dressing is more pronounced at banks with higher leverage, lower capital adequacy ratios, and greater management compensatio...

An effort to prevent PJI has led to the development of antimicrobial dressings that support wound healing. We sought to determine whether Aquacel Surgical dressing independently reduces the rate of acute PJI following TJA. A single institution retrospective chart review of 903 consecutive cases who received the Aquacel Surgical dressing and 875 consecutive cases who received standard gauze dres...
