BACKGROUND We conducted an experimental study to compare the effect of massage using topical agents (Kelo-cote or Contractubex) on scar formation by massaging the healed burn wound on the dorsal area of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. METHODS Four areas of second degree contact burn were made on the dorsal area of each of 15 SD rats, using a soldering iron 15 mm in diameter. After gross epitheliali...

An in vitro study on the role of intracellular calcium ions in healing of excisional wound in rabbit was undertaken. We employed two drugs namely, glibenclamide and nitroglycerin that are topically applied in vivo to modulate the activity of intracellular calcium. Our model consisted of a 15 ´ 15 mm excisional wound. Seven groups of New Zealand rabbits were used. The first three groups served a...

area was carefully cleaned up by manual application of soap and water. After drying, the whole area was dressed with gauze smeared with vaseline, blisters being carefully snipped and their contents allowed to escape. The vulva required separate dressings which had to be more frequently changed. The utmost care was taken to preserve full aseptic precautions whilst dressing the case, and bandages...

and is difficult to remove. Dressings with the usual antiseptics can be applied for weeks without cure. I have found the following form of treatment, which is cheap, very satisfactory. The ulcer and the surrounding parts are cleaned with soap and warm water. The skin around the ulcer is smeared thickly with vaseline and then pure carbolic acid (phenol) is applied to the ulcer with a cotton swab...

MOD patterns are distorted by expansion of the investment during setting in the casting ring. Using a simple idealized epoxy resin MOD pattern and two-dimensional photoelasticity, this investigation reports the distortion under several conditions, including W/P ratios, cases with and without asbestos lining, number of asbestos layers, condition of the asbestos lining (dry, wet, and applied sili...
