Some services in Brazil combine curettage of the nail matrix with phenolization in the treatment of ingrown nails, with the objective of further increasing efficacy. The objective of this research was to compare the cure rates between the phenolization technique and phenolization associated with nail matrix curettage. A retrospective study was done which included 271 cases. There was only a 5% ...

Ingrown toenail, or onychocryptosis, most commonly affects the great toenail. Many anatomic and behavioral factors are thought to contribute to ingrown toenails, such as improper trimming, repetitive or inadvertent trauma, genetic predisposition, hyperhidrosis, and poor foot hygiene. Conservative treatment approaches include soaking the foot in warm, soapy water; placing cotton wisps or dental ...

In the bioethanol production process via acid saccharification, a large amount of acid hydrolysis lignin is yielded as a byproduct. In this study, the behavior of hardwood sulfuric acid lignin (SAL), which is a typical acid hydrolysis lignin, during phenolization to convert into functional materials is investigated. We compared the product yield, average molecular weight, methoxy content, and r...

AIMS Intralesional treatment of giant cell tumour (GCT) of the bone may result in a high rate of local recurrence. The introduction of local adjuvant therapy, such as cementation or phenolization, has lead to a significant reduction in recurrence rates. Due to the combined use of phenol and cementation in most studies, the effect of phenol alone is described in this study. METHODS Twenty prim...

Removal of the epicardium of the dog's heart with 95 per cent phenol permits anastomoses between pericardial vessels and the coronary arteries that are large enough to carry the Schlesinger mass (40 micra or larger). In 18 patients suffering from intractable angina pectoris an operation consisting of phenolization, instillation of talc and pneumonopexy has resulted in consistent relief of pain....

Alkaline sunflower protein extraction can be performed along with de-phenolization of seed proteins if greening is unwanted. This promoted at alkaline pH when chlorogenic acid (CGA) oxidizes and reacts amino acids such as lysine. Thiol-containing dough conditioners: L-cysteine hydrochloride glutathione (GSH) were investigated an alternative de-greening strategy to acidification de-phenolization...

UNLABELLED Ingrowing nail also known as onychocryptosis is a common health problem. This disease mostly affects young people, often carrying a considerable amount of socio-economic implications. It's foot problem that usually manifests as inflammation of tissue along the side of a toenail. The aim of the study was to asses and to compare effectiveness of electrocautery and phenol application in...

BACKGROUND Ingrown toe nail is common problem presenting to the surgeon. Partial Nail avulsion only results in recurrence of the ingrown toe nail. The aim of this study was too see the effect of phenolization in preventing recurrence after partial nail avulsion. METHODS This was a randomized controlled trial carried out at Department of Surgery, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamab...
