Patients treated for cancer therapy using ionizing radiation (IR) have delayed tissue repair and regeneration. The mechanisms mediating these defects remain largely unknown at present, thus limiting the development of therapeutic approaches. Using a wound healing model, we here investigate the mechanisms by which IR exposure limits skin regeneration. Our data show that induction of the stromal ...

We undertook a randomised controlled trial to compare the outcomes of skin adhesive and staples for skin closure in total hip replacement. The primary outcome was the cosmetic appearance of the scar at three months using a surgeon-rated visual analogue scale. In all, 90 patients were randomised to skin closure using either skin adhesive (n = 45) or staples (n = 45). Data on demographics, surgic...

Introduction:Traditional wound closure techniques include skin sutures and metal clips. The ideal incision should be simple, effective, safe, rapid, inexpensive, painless, cosmetic, bactericidal. Cyanoacrylate glue has good neovascularization, epithelialization,and fasterApplication.Soit can considered an alternative for closures. Methods:A study was conducted on 50 individuals undergoing elect...

Surgical resection of the olecranon bursa may be complicated by wound healing problems. Treatment with debridement and primary skin closure can be attempted. We reviewed eight patients in whom this approach had failed. In four patients we achieved wound healing with a pedicled flap (three antecubital fasciocutaneous island flaps and one radial forearm flap). In three patients the wound healed a...

Introduction: A T-Skin stapler is a type of skin staple commonly used in the closure surgical wounds on skinslices. Quick and accurate treatment patients required. However, there still limited research comparingthe handling speed tool with other staples.Method: We that built sterile grade 317 L medical metal code SS1 thesurgical thread T-Silk no. 330 S21. created numerous portions goat experime...

Cosmetically satisfactory scars were achieved in 94.5% of skin crease orchidopexy wounds sutured with subcuticular polyglycolic acid. Of twenty-seven similar wounds closed with interrupted black silk sutures 18.5% developed hypertrophy at the medial end.

HYPOTHESIS To test the efficacy of adhesive paper tape in the closure of clean-contaminated wounds following elective colorectal resection. DESIGN A prospective, nonrandomized controlled study. SETTING A medical center that offers a mixture of primary, secondary, and tertiary care services. PATIENTS The group undergoing skin closure with paper tape (PT group) consisted of 150 patients. Th...
