BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the usefulness of a hydrocolloid dressing containing ceramide for hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR) on the soles of the feet in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients treated with sorafenib. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with grade 1 HFSR on the soles of the feet were randomly assigned in to two groups. One group received a hydrocol...

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of 0.5 % Sodium hypochlorite and 2% Glutaraldehyde spray disinfectants on impression compound and irreversible hydrocolloid impressions. Material and Methods: Twenty edentulous patients (age group of 45-65 years) were randomly selected for the present study. Maxillary and mandibular impressions of 10 patients were made in compound and remaining 10 patients in a...

The aim of the study was to investigate the application of hydrocolloid dressings in the prevention and treatment of infant diaper rash. A total of 210 infants with diaper rash were included in the study and randomized into 3 groups of 70 infants. Infants in group A received hydrocolloid dressings and individualized nursing; infants in group B received mupirocin plaster and topical application ...

chitosan is a polysaccharide derived from chitin by n-deacetilation, which has the property of gel formation. the objective was to develop a chocolate milk beverage using modified (hydrogel) chitosan as a thickening agent, and to make a sensory and rheological evaluation of this beverage. in the sensory evaluation an acceptability and comparative test with 50 local consumers was carried out, wi...

Hydrocolloid-based films are a good alternative in the development of biodegradable due to their properties, such as non-toxicity, functionality, and biodegradability, among others. In this work, based on hydrocolloids (gellan gum, carrageenan, guar gum) were formulated, evaluating dynamic rheological behavior creep recovery. Maxwell’s classical fractional models implemented describe its viscoe...

This article describes the intraoral preparation of healing abutments for use as prefabricated abutments for a cement-retained, implant-supported prosthesis. After the healing abutments are prepared, an impression is made with irreversible hydrocolloid, and the provisional restoration is fabricated indirectly. This technique is an easy and economical alternative for the fabrication of provision...
