Filter by:The investigators wish to determine how suture spacing (5 mm vs. 10 mm) affects cosmetic outcome and development of "train tracking" in wounds. Linear wounds with sutures spaced closer together may not be as cosmetically appealing when compared to those that have larger spacing between sutures. Suturing closer together constricts blood flow and increases tension that ultimately results in more tissue necrosis and a less appealing outcome. The investigators also aim to conclude if 5 mm or 10 mm suture spacing results in less complications.
The objective of this study was to compare the an adhesive latch device (" Dermaclip") to subcuticular skin closure at the time of cesarean section. Currently, no studies exist comparing these two closure techniques. The hypothesis is dermaclip closure is faster than subcuticular closure. The null hypothesis is there is no difference in closure times. There is a study (see reference at bottom) that compares staples closure to subcuticular closure, but none comparing subcuticular to dermaclip closure. Dermaclip device is easily deployed and is expected to be as fast as staples closure compared to subcuticular as noted in the prior study referenced below.
The purpose is to determine intrinsic properties of various immunohistochemical markers (FVIIIra, CD15, CD30, tryptase, TNFα, IL-1β, TGFα et TGFβ1) for diagnosis of vital wound, alone and in association (evaluation of sensibility with surgery wounds and evaluation of specificity with post-mortem wounds). Secondary purposes are to measure the minimum time to obtain a positive labeling in vital wounds, and to evaluate inter-observer reproducibility of vitality diagnosis with different markers. Expression of microRNA miR 9, miR 21 et miR 198 will be also studied.
1. The wound healing time of STSG donor sites which are treated with the novel biocellulose wound dressing containing silk sericin and PHMB should be less or equal to Bactigras®. 2. The wound quality of STSG donor sites which are treated with the novel biocellulose wound dressing containing silk sericin and PHMB should be less or equal to Bactigras®. 3. The amounts of STSG donor site infection which are treated with the novel biocellulose wound dressing containing silk sericin and PHMB should not be more than Bactigras®. 4. The pain level of STSG donor sites which are treated with the novel biocellulose wound dressing containing silk sericin and PHMB should be less or equal to Bactigras®. 5. Adverse events which are occurred from the novel biocellulose wound dressing containing silk sericin and PHMB treatment for STSG donor sites and Bactigras® will be reported, if they occur.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential healing properties of phenytoin. The investigators will use the donor site of a split skin thickness graft (SSTG) to model a basic wound in a randomized controlled trial of topical phenytoin against current best clinical practice. The investigators aim to demonstrate a dose dependent effect. The investigators hypothesis, based on previous clinical experience at our center and on current available literature, that phenytoin will reduce wound healing time.
A wound comprises a break in epithelial continuity and disruption of structure and function of underlying tissues, the treating and repairing is always a great challenge in clinical practice. The complex healing process make the wound easy to get a tendency of nonhealing and result in a heavy burden of life quality. Nowadays surgical repairing is still the main method, but there was still no effective and satisfy outcomes. Because none of the treatments could repair skin both on structure and function. Now the investigators provide a quick and effective method to rebuilt complete structure and function of the skin based on tissue-engineered skin technology. To further test the efficacy and safety of this new method, the investigators propose a prospective randomized controlled multicenter trial to compare this method with traditional skin graft.
The wound infection rate in the groin after vascular surgery has been denoted to be high since the wound surveillance register started in 2005. The current wound infection rate based on a validation study was 22.9% (24/105 patients with groin incision(s) between 1 March to 30 June in 2012). This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate if negative pressure wound therapy on closed inguinal incisions (INPWT) after vascular surgical procedures can reduce the risk for surgical site infections and other wound complications.
Comparison of the effect of water and soap irrigation with Povidone-iodine And normal salin treatment of patients with ununion laparatomy or episiotomy wound ( a pilot study)
There is no exact scientfic data about gender relationship with cronic pressure wounds (CPW). This research is aimed first to reveal gender relationship with CPW and aimed secondarily to reveal the gender related couse(es).
1. To explore the pathology of nerve, vascular, and skin in the amputated leg 2. To diagnose small-fiber sensory neuropathy of the contralateral leg by investigating the skin intervention 3. To search for (1) mechanisms of amputation and (2) prevention measures for further amputation in the currently healthy-looking limb
