background: cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) is a parasitic disease in most parts of iran, especially in the isfahan province. the most common form of cl is a self-healing lesion but in rare situations, infection might develop to non-healing forms. clinical symptoms and treatment process might be influenced by several agents such as host immune response and parasite strains. in this study, the isol...

ID No:180 ABSTRACT In this paper aims a thorough characterization will be performed of the effects of crystalline admixtures, currently employed as porosity reducing admixtures, on the self-healing capacity of the cementitious composites, i.e. their capacity to completely or partially re-seal cracks and, in case, also exhibit recovery of mechanical properties.In this paper aims a thorough chara...

BACKGROUND To compare the corneal high-order aberrations (HOAs), asphericity and regularity after Q-value guided laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) in high myopic astigmatism. METHODS In this retrospectively comparative study, we measured the corneal HOAs, asphericity indices (Q values) and corneal regularity indices preoperatively and 36 months p...

Introduction: Laser tissue soldering using albumin and indocyanine green dye (ICG) is an effective technique utilized in various surgical procedures. The purpose of this study was to perform laser soldering of rat skin under a feedback control system and compare the results with those obtained using standard sutures. Material and Methods: Skin incisions were made over eight rats’ dorsa, which w...

gum tragacanth is a natural complex mixture of polysaccharides and alkaline minerals extracted from species of astragalus plant, which is found widely in arid regions of the middle east. in a pilot experimental study we examined the effects of its topical application on wound healing in ten albino adult male rats. two similar parasagittal elliptical full-thickness wounds (control vs. test sampl...

conclusions the results showed the effectiveness of bromelain on episiotomy pain and wound healing. therefore, it is suggested to use bromelain in postoperative stage to improve wound healing and reduce pain. background ananas comosus has long been used for medical purposes. currently, we are experiencing an unprecedented interest in the use of complementary medicine as well as a growing attent...

objective: to determine the effects of topical administration of 20% oltipraz solution on histomorphometrical and stereological aspects of skin tissue in full thickness skin wounds in laboratory rats. methods: thirty-six male wistar portion rats (220±20 g) were randomly divided into three groups (n=12). on the first day of experimentation, a 1-cm 2 circular wound was made on the posterior surfa...

conclusions stem cell therapies in wound care may lessen the morbidities associated with wound healing. an ideal method for the effective administration of stem cells for burn patients has not yet been elucidated. further comparison of the local and systemic effects in burn patients, associated with each route of stem cell delivery, needs to be performed. results application of cells to the bur...
