The objective of this case series was to describe and evaluate full-thickness skin grafting of equine wounds. Six adult horses were used in the study. A full-thickness graft was harvested from the pectoral region with the horse anaesthetised or standing and sedated after local anaesthetic infiltration. Grafts were attached to the cutaneous margin of the wound with staples and/or sutures if the ...

Objective(s): This study evaluates the effect of substitution of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) with ethylcellulose (EC) on mechanical and release characteristics of theophylline pellets. Materials and Methods: The effect of addition of EC was investigated on characteristics of pellets with varying drug content prepared by extrusion-spheronization. Also the effect of type of granulating liqui...

During the granulation process of Iron ore sinter mixture, there are many factors affect the granulating effect, such as chemical composition, size distribution, surface feature of particle, and so on. Some researchers use traditional fitting calculation methods like least square method and regression analysis method to predict granulation effects, which exists big error. In order to predict it...

OBJECTIVE This study was designed to evaluate the histopathology of neuropathic ulcers and whether pressure relief could change such histological patterns. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We compared neuropathic plantar ulcers tissue excised from 10 diabetic patients (group A) with those taken from 10 patients with comparable lesions and glycemic control after 20 days in a total contact cast (gro...

Scrofuloderma is a common type of cutaneous tuberculosis characterized by a bluish-red nodule overlying an infected lymph gland, bone or joint that breaks down to form an undermined ulcer with a granulating tissue at the base. Progression of the disease leads to irregular adherent masses, densely fibrous at some places while fluctuant and discharging at others. It heals with a characteristic pu...

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), when used in combination with compression bandaging, for healing chronic resistant venous ulcers. METHOD In this pilot study, seven patients (with a total of 12 chronic resistant venous ulcers) received adjunctive NPWT and compression bandaging for 4 weeks. Their wounds were monitored for a total of 12 weeks. RES...

' 2004 Canadian Medical Association A the surgical complications of pulmonary resections and pneumonectomies, bronchopleural fistulae (BPF) persists as the gravest complication for the thoracic surgeon. BPF can prolong hospital stay and increase mortality to a rate of 50%. Its management is challenging and controversial. We report our recent experience with empyema and late BPF in a patient aft...

Punch and pinch skin grafts can be performed readily on the standing horse in the field using basic equipment. Practitioners should utilize these successful grafting techniques to routinely treat granulating equine wounds in order to reduce healing time and create a cosmetic and functional scar. Authors’ addresses: Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences, Virginia–Maryland Regional College...

May Concentrate Iron ore, as a refractory iron concentrate, deteriorates the permeability of sintered layer during sintering process due to its fine particle size and poor granulating performance. Therefore, it cannot be widely used in ore sintering. In this study, strengthening granulation using pre-pelletizing expand utilization ratio was proposed. The experiments conventional granulation, si...
