Post-operatively, the surgical incision dehisced. The resulting wound was open for a period of 4 weeks and was refractory to standard of care, wet-to-dry dressings, and an Unna boot. ...
Numerous chemical and physical methods have been employed to prepare metal nanoparticles, including chemical reduction. Silver has been known to have potential for bactericidal properties and promotion of wound healing. The recent emergence of nanotechnology has provided a new therapeutic modality in silver nanoparticles for use in burn wounds. We used chemical reduction for preparation of ...
In this work, a two-phase hydrogel system was prepared by physically imbedding a xerogel in the core of a cryogel which was freeze thawed. The cryogels were prepared with poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) while the xerogels were prepared by UV polymerisation of 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NVP), acrylic acid (AA) and various percentages of ibuprofen sodium salt. Mechanical and ...
