Aqueous extract of the roots of Radix paeoniae (Paeonaceae) was screened for wound healing by excision, incision and dead space wound models on Wistar rats. The parameters studied were breaking strength in case of incision wounds, epithelialisation and wound contraction in case of excision wound and granulation tissue dry weight, breaking strength and hydroxyproline content in case of dead spac...

BACKGROUND Patients who undergo carpal tunnel surgery sometimes complain of the restriction of the grip and pinch function, palmar tenderness, cosmetic problems, and scar formation at the site of the incision. AIMS We used a modified mini uni-skin incision with appropriate hand position for microscopic view in the surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome to prevent cosmetic problems relat...

Atrial tachycardias are common after open heart surgery. Most commonly these are macro-reentrant including cavotricuspid isthmus dependent atrial flutter, incisional right atrial flutter and left atrial flutter. Focal atrial tachycardias occur less frequently. The specific type of atrial tachycardia highly depends on the type of surgical incision. Catheter ablation can be very effective, howeve...

Effects of incision angle in construction of clear corneal cataract incision are studied with optical coherence tomography (OCT). A stable incision angle range is found to be existent for single-planed, clear corneal cataract incisions. When well pressurized, incision angles within this stable range result in well-apposed incision edges that resist gapping while incision angles falling outside ...

BACKGROUND Guarding pain after rat plantar incision is similar to pain at rest in postoperative patients. Spontaneous activity (SA) in nociceptive pathways quite likely transmits such ongoing pain. This study examined the extent of tissue injury by incision on pain behaviors and nociceptor SA. METHODS Rat pain behaviors were measured after a sham procedure, skin incision, or skin plus deep ti...

purpose : to evaluate the safety and efficacy of limbal relaxing incisions (lris) for corneal astigmatism correction during phacoemulsification methods : 24 eyes of 24 patients with the mean age of 65.71 years (range: 55 to 83 years) with senile cataracts and mean corneal astigmatism of 1.9±0.83 diopters (d) (range: 1.5 to 3.5 d) were included in this study. all lris were performed during phaco...
