摘要:Skin wounds represent an enormous clinical and financial problem in equine. The present study evaluated the effect of Panthenol gel and Mebo ointment on metacarpal wounds healing in donkeys. This experimental study was carried out on eighteen adult donkeys divided into three groups each of six donkeys. All animals were exposed to creation of 2?× 2 cm full-thickness skin wound on the dorsal aspect of the metacarpal regions of both forelimbs. All the wounds were cleaned daily with sterile gauze soaked with sterile distilled water. For the Panthenol gel group, 1 finger tip unit (0.5?g) of Panthenol gel was applied once daily over the wound surfaces. For the Mebo ointment group, 1 finger tip unit (0.5?g) of Mebo ointment was applied once daily over the wound surfaces. For control group, the wounds were cleaned with sterile gauze soaked with sterile distilled water without application of any treatment. The wound healing process was compared by gross observation, geometrical assessments of percentage wound contraction, percentage wound epithelialization, percentage wound healing, and histopathological examination. The wound contraction, wound epithelialization, and wound healing percentages in the Panthenol gel group were significantly higher than other groups and by the end of seventh week, all animals’ wounds in the Panthenol gel group had complete healing. Mebo ointment group had no a significant effect on wound epithelialization and wound healing percentages. In conclusion, the study recommended the use of Panthenol gel as an effective and low-cost wound healing promoting agent for full-thickness skin wounds in donkeys.
摘要:Background and Objectives:? MEBO is a Chinese burn ointment has been introduced recently for local management of burn injuries with a USA patented formulation since 1995. In this study we try to prove that MEBO is more effective if applied vaginally after electrocautery than electrocautery alone in treating cervical erosion. Method:? This study performed from 1st of May 2013 to the end of April 2014 in private clinic in Baghdad, a clinical comparative study was done on 100 patients who had cervical erosion (by clinical examination), group 1 (50 patients) were treated with electro cautery once time alone. group 2 treated with electrocautery once time followed by MEBO application vaginally once daily for 20 days, all patients in both groups seen weekly to assess the start and completion of healing of erosion and any sign of infection and improvement of any symptom especially vaginal discharge. Results:? The mean time required for start and completion of healing was significantly shorter for group 2 (1.5 ± 0.5)weeks,(2.2 ± 0.6)weeks, respectively than group1 which was (3.5 ± 1.0)weeks, (4.2 ± 1.0) respectively and it was statistically significant (P value less 0.001). More patients in group 2 had decreased vaginal discharge (44)than group1 (33) and it was statistically significant difference. Also the incidence of vaginal infection was less in group 2 (6%) than group1 (24%), it was significant statistical difference. More patients in group 2 healed completely (45) than group 1 (38) but the difference was statistically not significant. Conclusion:? MEBO is very efficacious in treating cervical erosion and is superior to electocautery alone.
摘要:Objective:The objective is to outline the overall health scene as it is in New Zealand and to demonstrate that there is tremendous potential for the increased use of Moist Exposed Burn Therapy(MEBT)across a wide variety of health care facilities within New Zealand.Method:The presentation allows me to share with you evidence from clini- cal based practice and examples of how and where MEBT and the product Moist Exposed Burn Ointment(MEBO)has been used within New Zealand' s health services.This will include evidence from other nursing colleagues who work in the Aged Care sector or in the New Zealand community.Result:My experiences in the clinical field have enabled me to see that there is much that can be done through education for nurses by professional nurse educators. Currently there is little or no funding available to Nurse Educators for them to be able to provide the required education and training,or to be able to introduce the correct clini- cal techniques of MEBT into our heahhcare profession. Patients who require wound management and have been treated using the MEBT method are provided with sustained wound healing,improved outcomes and consequently an improved quality of life. New Zealand health providers are beginning to realize that use of MEBT and MEBO is a cost effective form of treatment.Not only in monetary terms but in ethical and physiolog- ical terms as well.At this point in time however,there is evidence that nurses will experi- ment with products such as MEBO but revert back to techniques and products they know and are comfortable with in day to day nursing situations. It can therefore be concluded that New Zealand nurses do not have adequate knowl- edge or understanding of the clinical application of MEBT/MEBO to achieve the optimum results for their patients. Ongoing education is essential to ensure that nurses,who are using MEBT,under- stand the principals of MEBT and follow the correct clinical application. There has been evidence,during my clinical practice,of New Zealand nurses using MEBT alongside the current New Zealand wound management techniques and this combi- nation has often led to a misunderstanding about MEBT and the incorrect use of MEBO. As a result the patient outcomes are often substandard compared with the recommen- ded MEBT practice and the resulting potential for the increased quality of life is not fully realized by patient or practitioner. With the acceptance of a changing methodology and its education within the New Zea- land nursing culture,there is significant potential for this wound management concept to be widely used,particularly within the Aged Care and Disabilities sectors within New Zea- land prior to registration of MEBO being granted. With the full registration of the MEBO product,we will be able to use this treatment to its full potential to provide improved patient outcomes and an increase in quality of life for patients within New Zealand. My clinical knowledge of MEBT has helped me to initiate a starting point of MEBT education in New Zealand-currently focused on regional nurse education and community awareness.This will help facilitate the understanding,enthusiasm and commitment for this treatment across New Zealand and enable nurses to gain the necessary support to bring a- bout this change in wound management.
摘要:Microskin graft is a technique of skin defect closure using a minimum of STSG donors to cover the large defect. Some considerations were taken, which includes the general status of the patient, donor area morbidity, and patient refusal to act is one of the reasons for the use microskin graft. History STSG failure with previous defect closure and lack of donor area would to bene!t from microskin graft. Case of boy 12 years old with extensive defects in the forearm due to burns. Consideration of the lack of donor area made us deciding to use microskin graft as main option to close the defect. We did one-week post operative evaluation. Epithelialization occurs at day 7, while complete epithelialization occurred at 14th day. Three month during follow-up control, the scar are minimal. We conclude that microskin graft is one technic that can be used in skin defect closure with minimal donor.
