OBJECTIVES Posttraumatic invasive fungal infections threaten critically injured combat-related injuries and require a combination of extensive surgery and systemic antifungal therapy, along with topical antimicrobials used adjunctively to control the infection. We evaluated the in vitro activity of topical agents in varying combinations and concentrations against molds from patients that were r...

BACKGROUND Topical antiseptic and antibiotic agents have been used for the prevention of surgical site infections since Joseph Lister's original research on this subject. Although these agents are used extensively in clinical practice, evidence to support the use of topical antimicrobial agents remains limited. PATIENTS AND METHODS The world literature on the use of antiseptic and antibiotic ...

a. We recommend application of either topical agents or intraluminal lock solutions in reduction of exit-site infection and catheter-related bacteraemia. Options of topical agents include mupirocin 2% ointment, polysporin and medihoney. Intraluminal lock agents include both antibiotic based and non-antibiotic-based solutions. Ideal antibiotics and optimal doses are yet to be defined. (Level 1 e...

Pathological uterine bleeding is one of the significant problems in gynecology. Different aspects abnormal are discussed (classification, causal factors, mechanisms, diagnosis, treatment). Medications assessed according their priorities (haemostatic effect; regulation menstrual cycle). Preferences dufaston underlined: a) It doesn’t characterize by undrogenic, glucocorticoidal and mineralocortic...

BACKGROUND Serum thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) levels are associated with the disease activity of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and sensitively reflect short-term changes in skin conditions. The main treatment for AD is topical agent application. OBJECTIVE This study investigated the relationship between serum TARC levels and the dosage of topical agents, including c...

Topical antibiotics are frequently introduced in therapy by various specialists, e.g., dermatologists-venereologists, ENT specialists, proctologists, ophthalmologists, and others. In dermatology, topical antibiotics are used in the treatment of superficial inflammatory skin lesions, acne and rosacea. These agents are also used in the prevention of inflammatory lesions after surgical and correct...

Background. This study examines the impact of one-time direct application of haemostatic agent zeolite-bentonite powder to wounded skin on the healing process in rats. Materials and Methods. 24 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into two groups (n = 12): (1) the rats whose wounds were washed only with sterile normal saline (NS-treated) and (2) those treated with zeolite-bentonite ...

background controlling parenchymal hemorrhage especially in liver parenchyma, despite the progress in surgical science, is still one of the challenges that surgeons face when trying to save patients’ lives. researchers in the field are challenging to introduce a more effective method. objectives the current study aimed to determine the haemostatic effect of alum [kal (so4)2] and compare it with...
