it has been claimed that periodontal dressing reduces the risk of wound infection, bleeding and granulation tissue formation and improves tissue healing. this study sought to assess the effect of periodontal dressing on wound healing and patient satisfaction following periodontal flap surgery.this clinical trial was conducted on 33 patients presenting to hamadan university, school of dentistry ...

Complications of tracheotomy tube placement can be categorized as intraoperative, early postoperative, and late postoperative. Among the late complications is the development of granulation tissue. We describe one of the few reported cases of granulation tissue that formed within a fenestrated tracheotomy tube. In this case, the granulation tissue grew through the fenestrations, obliterated the...

The presence of the connective tissue components fibronectin and the different types of collagen was demonstrated by histological and immunohistological methods in the granulation and scar tissue of a healing injury in rat muscle. The effects of physical activity on granulation tissue production, scar formation and muscle regeneration at various stages of healing were studied. It was shown that...

We successfully used argon plasma coagulation (APC) and tranilast to treat granulation tissue that had formed on an end-to-end tracheal anastomosis. APC had several advantages over laser in the management of exuberant granulation tissue, and we considered tranilast to be effective in our patient. To our knowledge, this is the first description of the use of APC in the management of anastomotic ...

Connective tissues are known to be composed of heterogeneous fibroblast subpopulations. The significance of this heterogeneity in different physiological and pathological conditions is poorly understood. Granulation tissue is formed in connective tissue during wound healing, chronic inflammation, and certain pathological conditions. In this study, heterogeneity of fibroblasts from granulation t...

Question A 50 years old Male known with a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis since October 2012 (Montreal Class E3) was seen for further follow up in gastroenterology outpatient. He was on Meselazine 2.4 gm per day. The last flare up he had was 2.5 years ago in April 2013 when he was treated successfully with a course of oral steroids. His colitis has been in a stable state with no further flare u...

Distribution of the extracellular matrix glycoprotein tenascin during wound healing in mouse skin was studied immunohistochemically. Within 24 hours after wounding, and preceding the formation of granulation tissue, tenascin appeared in the basement membranes beneath epidermis and hair follicles adjacent to the wound edges and in the wounded edges of cutaneous muscle layer. Granulation tissue b...

In myocardial infarction (MI), granulation tissue cells disappear via apoptosis to complete a final scarring with scanty cells. Blockade of this apoptosis was reported to improve post-MI ventricular remodeling and heart failure. However, the molecular biological mechanisms for the apoptosis are unknown. Fas and Fas ligand were overexpressed in the granulation tissue at the subacute stage of MI ...

John Hershey is a 25-year-old man with ESRD secondary to interstitial nephritis. He has a swan-neck, coiled peritoneal dialysis catheter implanted 10 weeks ago and is doing nightly tidal peritoneal dialysis and still has good residual renal function. A week ago John called his primary nurse at the PD clinic to report ‘I think I hurt my exit site. It is red, and there was some drainage’. A cultu...
