Porcine Urinary Bladder Matrix for Management of Infected Radiation Mastectomy Wound.
Abstract: We present a case report on the successful healing of a Pseudomonas infection wound in a 52-year-old female with morbid obesity, noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus and a history of tobacco use, who presented with Stage IIIA (T3, N2, Mo) infiltrating...Porcine Urinary Bladder Matrix for Management of Infected Radiation Mastectomy Wound.
Abstract: We present a case report on the successful healing of a Pseudomonas infection wound in a 52-year-old female with morbid obesity, noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus and a history of tobacco use, who presented with Stage IIIA (T3, N2, Mo) infiltrating...Use of epidermal skin grafts in chronic wounds: a case series.
Abstract: In stalled, chronic wounds, more aggressive and proactive wound closure efforts are needed. We describe adjunctive use of epidermal grafting in patients with chronic wounds. Wound bed preparation consisted of surgical necrotectomy or sharp debridement,...Clinical Trial – Body Mass Index and Post-dural Puncture Headache
Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is seen more frequently in pregnant women due to stress,
dehydration, intra-abdominal pressure, and insufficient fluid replacement after delivery.
Obesity protects against PDPH in pregnant women; increased intra-abdominal fat tissue reduced
cerebrospinal fluid leakage by increasing the pressure in the epidural space. Therefore, this
study investigated the influence of body mass index (BMI) on PDPH in elective caesarean
section patients in whom 27G spinal needles were used.
