“…The mean age of patients in this study was 22 years ranged between 20-54 years old. 3,4,19 According to Chike-Obi and colleagues, keloids can occur at any age. However, the highest incidence is between 11-30 years old.…”

“…Excessive angiogenesis in older keloids also supports the resistance of fibroblast cells, making them more difficult to treat. 3,4,9 Most patients with acne scars, SA, and keloid patients had type IV and V skin phototypes. The statistical analysis result showed no difference between the three groups (p = 0.091).…”

“…If endogenous stressors are present, such as inflammation or external stimuli such as UV rays, melanocytes will act as a "sensor" in the epidermis and act as a "cutaneous nervous system" so that it can control inflammation, immunity, regulation of cutaneous structures, thermoregulation, modulation of homeostasis, and wound healing. 3,4,19 The clinical efficacy in this study was based on changes in the degree of the acne scarring, length, and width in SA, and keloid height. Patients with acne scars were evaluated after three sessions of treatment, while keloid and SA patients were evaluated after only one treatment session.…”

Background: Fractional Carbon Dioxide (CO2) LASER has better efficacy compared to conventional LASER in treating scar tissue such as acne scars, keloids, and striae albae. However, a population with darker skin has a higher risk of side effects, especially in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and side effects of fractional CO2 LASER in new patients with acne scars, keloids, and striae albae in the Dermatovenereology outpatient clinic. Methods: Retrospective analysis was done on 42 medical records of patients who met the inclusion criterion, which was those who have undergone fractional CO2 LASER treatments. The efficacy and side effects of the therapy were identified and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17 program. Result: A total of 42.9% of patients underwent fractional CO2 LASER treatments for acne scars, while 31% and 26.1% of patients received treatments for keloids and striae albae, respectively. There was a statistically significant decrease in the degree of acne scar (2.72 ± 0.83), keloid height (2.2 ± 0.405), and striae width (0.39 ± 0.02). The statistically significant side effects were hyperpigmentation (59.5%), crustae (26.2%), erythema ≥ for 4 days (19%), and new acne (19%). Conclusion: Fractional CO2 LASER was effective for treating scar tissue (acne scars, keloids, and striae albae) with a higher incidence of side effects in population with darker skin and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

“…There is clear evidence that wound irrigation reduces infection compared to non-irrigation methods of treatment (Chatterjee 2005). However, even with irrigation, outcomes are dependent on many factors, including the properties of the irrigant, the severity of contamination, type of pathogen in the wound, wound location and depth, local tissue hypoxemia, and age and nutritional status of the patient (Busse 2016). Irrigation is considered a universally accepted technique in both veterinary and human medicine.…”

Irrigant selection for treating trauma wounds on injured wildlife patients

Contaminated wounds are frequently encountered on injured wildlife patients. Left untreated, contaminated wounds may result in infection with ongoing complications. Wound irrigation is an essential part wound treatment and arguably the most effective means of preventing wound infection. Successful treatment depends on a number of factors but selecting the most appropriate irrigant for the type of wound, degree and type of contamination, species and patient status is up to the informed caregiver. This article discusses some of the pros and cons of common irrigants used in veterinary wound management and best practices for application.

“…2 The wounds can compromise this barrier and predispose the body to infection, protein, and electrolyte loss. 3 Wound-healing process, in which the skin repairs itself, is a complex of interrelated phases (i.e. hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling) and in some cases without an appropriate wound-dressing, optimal wound-healing cannot be achieved.…”

In this study, the single and synergistic effects of montmorillonite and curcumin-loaded chitosan microparticles incorporated onto the polylactic acid films were investigated on full-thickness excisional wounds of rats. The polylactic acid microfibrillated film was electrospun from a 10% (w/v) polylactic acid in chloroform solution. The curcumin-loaded chitosan microparticles were prepared via ionic gelation technique with high drug loading and encapsulation efficiency. The alkaline-treated polylactic acid films were assembled with positively charged chitosan as the first layer and the negatively charged montmorillonite (NC dressing), curcumin-loaded chitosan microparticles (CCM dressing), and their mixture (1:1 (v/v); NC/CCM dressing) as the second layer via layer-by-layer self-assembly technique. The montmorillonite incorporation increased the hydrophobicity and water vapor transmission rate of the CCM dressing but decreased its wateruptake capacity. The films showed good cytocompatibility to L929 fibroblastic cell line, and the in vivo wound-closure percentage result showed that CCM > NC > NC/CCM > sterile gauze. The
