introduction: in the present study, the effects of light cure on wound healing of mice’s skin with complete thickness were studied. materials and methods: forty male mice of nmri race were placed randomly into two groups of examination and control. under aseptic and unconscious conditions, a circular wound of 6 mm width with complete thickness of skin was made on the back of each mice. the surg...

Objective Management of patients with full thickness wound of skin continues to challenge physicians and surgeons in area of cosmetic dermatologic surgery. At the present time, there are some medications and procedures that can be used to accelerate the healing of full thickness wound of skin. Based on studies that have demonstrated improved upper eyelid wound healing with OCA (octyl-2-cyanoacr...

In 1971 triceps skinfold thickness was measured in a sample of 6-14-year-old children attending school in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. The sample consisted of 1,243 boys and 1,183 girls. In both boys and girls triceps skinfolds tended to increase with age, this being most marked in the girls. If a 25 mm triceps skinfold is taken as indicating obesity, then 32-4% of the 14-year old girls and 3-6%...

Standard anthropometric measurements were made on 320 term neonates to investigate the influence of smoking on fetal growth and nutrition. Maternal height and triceps skinfold thickness were also measured. Of 320 infants, 126 (39%) were born to mothers who smoked. Maternal triceps skinfold thickness was significantly smaller in smoking mothers. A correlation existed between maternal and infant ...

Introduction: Skin fold thickness measurement provides an estimated size of the subcutaneous fat, which is the layer of subcutaneous tissue and composed of adipocytes. Subcutaneous fat is the major determinant of insulin sensitivity and has a strong association with insulin resistance. However, evidence to predict,the effect of duration of diabetes on skin fold thickness remains unclear. Aim & ...

BACKGROUND There is a limited evidence base to guide surgeons on the ideal thickness of skin flaps during mastectomy. Here the literature relevant to optimizing mastectomy skin flap thickness is reviewed, including anatomical studies, oncological considerations, factors affecting viability, and the impact of surgical technique and adjuvant therapies. METHODS A MEDLINE search was performed usi...

We study surface-plasmon-enhanced terahertz transmission through subwavelength metallic hole arrays of sub-skin-depth thickness. Dynamic evolution of surface-plasmon resonance in terms of array thickness is characterized by use of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy in the frequency range 0.1-4.5 THz. A critical thickness of lead array film is observed, above which surface-plasmon coupling of te...

in light of provided progresses in ultrasound measurements of lateral abdominal muscles, an important role for these muscles, particularly transverse abdominis (tra) muscle in stability of the spine has been suggested. some authors have found significant correlations between body mass index (bmi) and thickness of these muscles. the aim of this study was to examine possible association between d...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the relationship between skin tumor thickness and homogeneity and to evaluate the accuracy of 14-MHz ultrasound while measuring the thickness of different skin tumors. MATERIAL AND METHODS The ultrasonographic and histological analysis of 72 skin tumors was performed. Preoperative vertical tumor thickness (T) and structure of 12 melanomas, 34 mel...

BACKGROUND Skin grafting is a relatively simple and thus widely used procedure. However, the elastic and structural quality of grafted skin is poor. Recently, various dermal substitutes have been developed to overcome this disadvantage of split-thickness skin grafts. The present study aims to determine the feasibility of RapiGraft as a new dermal substitute. METHODS This prospective study inc...
