Folk veterinary medicine – an important plot of national experience, which includes rational knowledge and practical skills of domestic animals treatment. The special attention was paid to those Ukrainian animals from whom was depended the success of farming (horses, cattle, pigs, sheep). In traditional veterinary medicine are mainly used the same means as in folk medicine. The most popular were the drugs of plant origin. Frequently herbal medicine is used in combination with minerals, animal fats. Folk veterinary accumulated and some knowledge about the importance of sanitation and hygiene for the successful care for domestic animals. To prevent diseases animals were kept in damp or cold places, did not allow to drink stagnant water, periodically changed grazing and watering place, followed by timely horses forging and oxen. During the wars there were observed various wounds in horses, applied with edged weapons, slaughter, stretching, injuries and more. Those wounds were treated by horsemen, using methods and traditional medicines. For bandaging the injured limb, as well as the blood stops substances are used dry and pre-boiled wool, rough canvas, tar, ash, various drugs and other means. After the end of hostilities the treatment of injuries in horses were engaged healers, chiropractors, but mostly – horse doctor, paying particular attention to the full feed, care of the skin, hooves. The shepherd had known about infectious diseases, which they tried to prevent and treat, and diseases of the udder, digestive and respiratory system. The shepherds tried in various ways to treat and parasitic diseases. For example, Fasciolosis (rot) they treated with fir branches, hemp seed, toasted oats. Shepherds, herdsmen, healers collected, dried, stored and used medicinal herbs during genera and injuries, they were also engaged in bloodletting. For therapeutic purposes blood fat, bile, bone marrow, milk and dairy products, vegetable oils were used, to wit they were the first veterinary specialists doctors. Itinerant surgeons-barbers were also engaged in treatment of animals. In the twelfth century. surgeons-barbers moved to sedentary lifestyles and became to join into craft, which were engaged in the treatment of sick animals and training of young professionals. Barbers surgeons played great role in life and everyday life of the Lviv philistinism. They were engaged in treatment, produced drugs, patches, bled and also sheared and shaved.

Background Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is the accepted surgical treatment for chronic refractory rhinosinusitis. Prolonged healing and adhesion formation remain common problems. This study investigates the use of a hyaluronic acid-based pack impregnated with insulin-like growth factor (IGF) 1 to facilitate more rapid and effective healing after ESS in a healthy sheep model and a sheep model of chronic sinusitis. Methods This study used 12 healthy sheep and 9 sheep with chronic sinusitis. In each sheep one side (computer randomized) was used as a control. Under endoscopic guidance, mucosal injuries and adhesions were created on both sides and were either packed with a hyaluronic acid pack impregnated with IGF-1 or left unpacked as a control. Serial biopsies were performed for 4 months. Results In the healthy sheep there was a statistically significant (p < 0.05) improvement in reepithelialization in IGF-1 packed wounds at day 28 (89% for IGF-1 versus 44% for controls). In both healthy sheep and sheep with sinusitis there was no significant difference in mucosal reepithelialization at any of the other measured time points. In the sinusitis group, there was a significant decrease in ciliary regeneration at day 56 in the Merogel/IGF-1 group compared with the control group: 59.20% versus 77.68% (p < 0.01) and at day 112, 69.70% versus 87.26% (p < 0.01). Conclusion Hyaluronic acid impregnated with IGF-1 improved reepithelialization in the healthy sheep but not in the sheep with chronic rhinosinusitis. These packs had a detrimental effect on mucosal ciliary regeneration in the sheep with chronic rhinosinusitis.

✓ At the time of the American Civil War (1861–1865), a great deal was known about closed head injury and gunshot wounds to the head. Compression was differentiated from concussion, but localization of lesions was not precise. Ether and especially chloroform were used to provide anesthesia. Failure to understand how to prevent infection discouraged physicians from aggressive surgery. Manuals written to educate inexperienced doctors at the onset of the war provide an overview of the advice given by senior surgeons. The Union experiences in the treatment of head injury in the Civil War were discussed in the three surgical volumes of The Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion. Wounds were divided into incised and puncture wounds, blunt injuries, and gunshot wounds, which were analyzed separately. Because the patients were not stratified by severity of injury and because there was no neuroimaging, it is difficult to understand the clinical problems and the effectiveness of surgery. Almost immediately after the war, increased knowledge about cerebral localization and the development of antisepsis (and then asepsis) permitted the development of modern neurosurgery.

OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to review and identify risk factors for complications from treatment of mandible fractures due to gunshot wounds. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: We conducted a retrospective review of treatment outcomes in 90 patients with gunshot wounds to the mandible treated over a 10-year period at 2 tertiary care centers. RESULTS: Our series of 90 patients with mandibular injuries due to gunshot wounds included 68 patients who underwent surgical procedures on the mandible. There were 14 complications in this group. Complications were more common in patients whose mandibles were rigidly fixated; however, these patients' injuries were more severe. Complications were significantly increased in patients who lost a segment of mandible in the injury. CONCLUSIONS: Complications were related to severity of injury and independent of treatment modality. SIGNIFICANCE: The complication rate for patients with gunshot injuries can be very high, particularly if bone is missing. Stabilization of remaining mandibular segments with potentially multiple subsequent reconstructive procedures is often required to restore mandibular continuity in these patients.

Penetrating injuries to the heart are usually devastating and few patients survive the initial trauma. The most frequent penetrating injuries are caused by projectile injuries and less commonly by melee weapons. Most of these injuries involve chamber free walls and a small percentage can affect the interventricular septum. We report a case in which an emergency surgical procedure was successful in controlling cardiac tamponade, and repairing a right ventricular laceration caused by multiple stab wounds. Subsequently, a successful interventional occlusion of a large interventricular septal defect, associated with significantly augmented pulmonary flow was performed.

Objective. To evaluate the results of organizational measures for improving the efficiency of the Republican Center for the treatment of gunshot wounds and mine-explosive injuries. Methods. The study is based on an analysis of the work of the Republican Center for the treatment of gunshot wounds and mine-explosive injuries and includes patients (n=54) who were treated from November 1, 2016 to October 31, 2019. Gunshot wounds were detected in 42 patients (77.8%). Explosive trauma was detected in 12 patients (22.2%). The most common causes of injuries were personal carelessness (20 cases (37.0%)), carelessness of others (16 cases (29.6%)), suicidal attempts (9 cases (16.6%)). In accordance with the purpose of the survey, three equal time intervals (three periods) each being equal to one year were studied. The following indicators were analyzed: the number of patients, the time from the moment of injuring to hospitalization, the type of patient’s transportation, the quality of surgical care at the hospitalization stages. Results. Implementation of the proposed organizational measures allowed increasing the number of patients hospitalized into the Republican Center for the treatment of gunshot wounds and mine-explosive injuries during the third year of work by 66.7% and 78.6%, respectively, compared with the previous time intervals. The frequency of hospitalization of patients within 24 hours after receiving an injury increased from 66.7% to 72.7%, and among patients who are not military personnel - from 45.5% to 69.2%. The proportion of errors in the treatment of patients with gunshot wounds and explosive injuries decreased by 34.0%. Conclusion. The proposed organizational measures allowed increasing the efficiency of the Republican Center for the treatment of gunshot wounds and mine-explosive injuries. In the future, it is advisable to continue close cooperation with healthcare organizations and to improve the regulatory framework for the treatment of gunshot wounds of various localization. What this paper adds The paper presents the results of the analysis of three-year work of the RepublicanCenter for the treatment of gunshot wounds and mine-explosive injuries.Realization of the proposed organizational measures allowed increasing the number of hospitalized patients, shortening the period from injury to hospitalization, and reducing the number of errors in patient care.

Abstract Introduction In large skin injuries, lack of matrix deposition impedes timely healing process. The longer a wound remains open, the greater is the risk of infection, non-healing, and other complications. It is therefore crucial to find effective means to promote rapid closure of skin defects. Our group has previously developed a liquid in situ-forming nutritional scaffold, known as MeshFill (MF). MF has been previously proven to be very effective in accelerating the wound repair process, notably that of complex wounds. However, MF is limited in its application to deep and tunnelling wounds, and requires reconstitution with a solvent as well as maintenance at cold temperature until application. To address these limitations, our group has developed a powdered form of MF for rapid topical application on superficial skin injuries such as dehisced surgical wounds and burn injuries. Methods Our goal was to investigate whether a powdered form of MF could be directly applied onto the wounds to accelerate healing. Ideally, powdered MF would absorb the moisture within the wound environment and reconstitute into the gel form in situ. We examined the efficacy of powder MF (PMF) compared to reconstituted gel MF (GMF) and to a standard dressing protocol. To do so, splinted full thickness wounds were generated on the back of mice and treated with either PMF or GMF or were bandaged with no treatment (NT). The healing process was monitored until wounds were fully closed. Clinical wound measurements and histological assessments were performed to compare different treatment regimens. Results Application of both PMF and GMF accelerated wound epithelialization at days 7 and 14, compared to NT, and had faster wound closure times. On average, the PMF treatments healed 17% faster than the NT control, and the GMF treatments healed 21% faster than the NT control. No significant difference between PMF and GMF was found for any outcomes. Additionally, our results suggest that epidermis formation was more effective in P and MF conditions compared to NT. Conclusions These findings suggest that topical application of a powdered form of MeshFill is as effective as standard reconstituted MeshFill gel in accelerating the healing process of skin injuries. Applicability of Research to Practice Topical application of a powdered scaffold may be a very convenient and practical method for rapid treatment of large superficial wounds such as dehisced surgical wounds, burn injuries, and filling gaps in meshed skin grafts.

Nowadays, we have been a steady increase in injuries as the social conditions of life and have changed. Statistically found that 54.0 % of people of car accidents have injuries to the head and neck. According to the literature, mortality in patients with neck injury which is complicating by pyoinflammatory persists up to 30.0-76.0 %. The management of neck trauma can be challenging and sometimes overwhelming, as this anatomical region contains many vital structures. These structures may pose a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. Our research based on the results of diagnosis and treatment of 124 patients with a purulent mediastinitis, complicating traumatic injuries of the neck organs. Among these men – 92 (74.2 %), women – 32 (25.8 %). The results of treatment depend on timely diagnosis, hospitalization in a specialized compartment and conducting active surgical tactics

Thesis (PhD (Physiological Sciences))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007.SUPERFICIAL digital flexor tendon injury has a serious negative impact on the competitive horse industry. Injured horses require up to a year of rest for recovery and likelihood of re-injury upon return to normal activity is as high as 80 %. Tendon healing requires (a) production of collagen by fibroblasts, to provide tensile strength and elasticity to the tendon, (b) minimisation of restrictive fibrosis, which compromises tendon gliding function and (c) minimisation of peritendinous adhesions. We review conventional treatments for tendon healing before exploring stem cell application as a therapeutic alternative. We promote the use of hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells derived from adult peripheral blood - as opposed to bone marrow-derived stem cells or embryonic stem cell sources - and review published research output in this regard. In conclusion, we outline our research objectives and present and discuss our results in the chapters that follow. Mononuclear cells - consisting of hematopoietic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells and leucocytes – were isolated from the peripheral blood of sheep and horses through red blood cell lysis and blood plasma extraction. Cell counts and propidium iodide dye exclusion viability tests were conducted on the cell pellets. Sheep sub samples were tested for CD45 expression and horse sub samples for CD4 and CD11a/18 cell surface markers by flow cytometry for characterisation purposes. In both cases, separate sub samples were incubated with matched immunoglobulin (IgG) isotypes, conjugated to fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), to serve as controls. For the culture of mononuclear cells, 4.5 x 106 cells were selected for autologous sheep injections, 3 x 106 CD45- cells for allogeneic sheep injections (the latter excluding leucocytes that may induce an immune response) and 72 x 106 cells for horse injections. These cells were incubated with bromo-deoxyuridine (BrdU), cultured and subsets were extracted for a second round of cell counts and viability tests before being resuspended in blood plasma. For the horse samples an additional 1 x 106 mononuclear cells were incubated until reaching 60 % confluence and tested for myogenic differentiation. Low cell mortality and lack of fluorescence from IgG-FITC controls reflected effective protocols and a lack of false positive results. The fact that the equine cell population differentiated into myotubes verified the presence of mesenchymal stem cells in injections. We tested whether surgical incisions or collagenase injections best mimicked naturally occurring tendon injuries and compiled macroscopic and microscopic descriptions of tendon injury sites at seven weeks post-injury. The superficial digital flexor tendons of 27 sheep received an incision, a collagenase injection or a saline control injection. After one week a number of sheep were sacrificed while the remainder received further saline treatment and were sacrificed after another seven weeks. Tendons were examined through clinical observations, image analysis of maximum tendon diameter, mechanical testing and histological sectioning of affected tissues. Collagenase-induced injury resembled tendonitis more closely than surgically-induced injury. Collagenase-injured tendons (a) induced lengthier lameness in affected limbs, (b) were more swollen and difficult to palpate, (c) assumed the bow appearance characteristic of natural injury, (d) experienced extensive haemorrhage due to collagen lysis, (e) had decreased elasticity and capacity to carry loads and stress, (f) displayed decreased stiffness due to collagen fibre disruption and (g) developed severe inflammation. After seven weeks injured tendons displayed increased vascularisation in the areas of haemorrhage and in the adjacent collagen matrix. High inflammation rates and low collagen levels however still persisted. Collagenase injections were used to induce tendonitis in the superficial digital flexor tendons of 27 sheep. After one week these tendons received treatment with a control saline solution, autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells (MNCs) or allogeneic peripheral blood CD45- MNCs. Healing rates were compared after a further seven week period by conducting ultrasonographic evaluations, clinical observations, image analyses of maximum tendon diameter, mechanical tests and histological investigations. Tendons treated with MNCs displayed an improvement in echogenicity and fibre linearity, higher and more organised collagen levels, stronger mechanical properties and less swelling. Although these improvements were not always significant, they provided strong evidence to suggest marked healing benefits over a longer time period. Collagenase injections were used to induce tendonitis in the superficial digital flexor tendons of four horses. After one week these tendons received treatment with either a control saline solution or autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells (MNCs). Healing rates were compared after a further seven week period by conducting ultrasonographic evaluations, clinical observations, image analysis of maximum tendon diameter and histological investigations. Tendons treated with MNCs displayed significant improvements in fibre linearity in the direct vicinity of the lesion, as well as recovery rate thereof, and experienced less swelling when compared with their untreated counterparts. Healing trends suggested that, given a longer period of observation post-injury, more significant improvements may become apparent. Human adipose tissue is known be an easily accessible and high yielding source of multipotent mesenchymal stem cells. These stem cells could potentially be used for therapeutic advancement of tendon regeneration. Our first goal was to examine the in vitro myogenic differentiation potential of adipose-derived, adherent mononuclear cells (MNCs) from six adult sheep. The second goal was to characterise the population of cells isolated through various available ovine specific, non-mesenchymal stem cell surface markers, namely, CD1, CD31, CD34 and CD45. After incubation, only four of the six MNC cultures started to proliferate. These four cultures all exhibited high myogenic differentiation ability. The isolated cell populations did not express any of the non-mesenchymal stem cell specific cell surface markers. In conclusion, our data suggests that peripheral blood stem cells and adipose-derived stem cells are important candidate cell types for therapeutic application to improve tendon repair in horses and sheep. Sufficient time must be allowed following injury and prior to stem cell treatment (at least one month) and a controlled exercise program should be followed posttreatment. A larger sample size is required and at least six months of recovery before macroscopic and histological repair can be analysed more accurately and conclusively. Ultrasonography should be carried out on a continuous basis, as it is a non-invasive method of monitoring change over time.

"April 2002" Bibliography: leaves 190-202. Examines the suitability of the [alpha] 2 adrenoreceptor agonist xylazine for providing safe and effective analgesia in 2 settings: for post-surgical pain in adult sheep used for biomedical research, and for routine husbandry procedures applied to lambs on farms, such as mulesing, tail-docking and castration. Concludes in setting 1 that intramuscular administration of xylazine was simple to perform yet was characterized by a rapid peak analgesic effect with a reasonable duration of action and minimal deleterious effects on cardiac output, blood pressure or arterial blood gases. In setting 2 the anti-nociceptive effects in lambs are of a similar magnitude and duration to those in adult sheep when the dose was scaled for body weight. A ranking of the relative painfulness of husbandry procedures was developed and used to assess the efficacy of intramuscular xylazine.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Surgery-induced brain injury (SBI) refers to trauma caused by routine neurosurgical procedures that may result in post-operative complications and neurological deficits. Unlike accidental trauma, SBI is potentially subject to preemptive interventions at the time of surgery. SBI can cause bleeding, inflammation and the formation of tissue gaps. Conventional haemostatic techniques, though effective, are not necessarily conducive to healing. Inflammation and the absence of extracellular matrix in tissue gaps also hinder regeneration after SBI. This study investigated the applications of RADA16-I, a type I self-assembling peptide nanofibre scaffold (SAPNS), and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the treatment of SBI. Using animal SBI models, treatments were applied immediately and locally onto the operative fields, taking advantages of the haemostatic and cell-carrying properties of RADA16-I, the immune- modulatory effects of MSCs, and the earliest available therapeutic window for SBI.
There were three objectives. Objective 1 was to compare RADA16-I with conventional haemostatic methods, including electrocautery and fibrin sealant, in their effects on the brain’s acute cellular inflammatory response. The hypothesis was that RADA16-I would cause the same or a lesser degree of inflammation. This study showed that RADA16-I was superior to electrocautery, and was noninferior to conventional topical haemostats.
Objective 2 was to study the in vitro expansion of MSCs within RADA16-I in preparation for in vivo transplantation. The hypothesis was that the in vitro survival of MSCs would vary between different RADA16-I concentrations and culturing methods. This study showed that plating MSCs onto pre-buffered RADA16-I would protect the cells against RADA16-I’s intrinsic acidity and result in better initial survival. Subsequent integration with the RADA16-I hydrogel, however, was poor. Mixing the cells directly with RADA16-I caused initial cell loss but allowed better integration. RADA16-I at lower concentrations resulted in better survival but also more fragile hydrogels that were mechanically unfit for transplantation. Mixing MSCs with 0.5% RADA16-I for seven days represented a compromise between these competing factors.
Objective 3 was to study the in vivo effects of a MSC-RADA16-I implant on tissue reactions after SBI. The hypothesis was that the combinatorial therapy would result in less cellular inflammatory response than MSC alone or RADA16-I alone. Implants of pre-buffered 0.5% RADA16-I hydrogel, with or without cells, were found to cause less inflammation than control. MSCs in free suspension resulted in significantly more pronounced inflammation than when carried in RADA16-I. Supplementing RADA16-I with MSCs, however, did not confer additional benefit over RADA16-I alone.
The present study provided new preclinical evidence to support future clinical testing of RADA16-I as a novel surgical haemostat. It also demonstrated the feasibility of early intracerebral transplantation of RADA16-I hydrogel in the treatment of SBI. Whether RADA16-I and/or transplanted MSCs could modulate the brain’s inflammatory response after SBI require further investigations, which may include the search for the optimal ex vivo expansion technique and specifically tailored nanofibre scaffold. The translational applications of these findings would include the treatment of SBI over critical brain regions where trauma would cause severe functional deficits and where better healing would facilitate patient recovery.published_or_final_version

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The purpose of this study was to determine the vastus medialis oblique muscular electromyographical (EMG) activity during two therapeutic exercises: the modified straight leg raise and the traditional straight leg raise. Two subject groups of 10 subjects each, one with anterior knee pain (PHY) and the other group with no history of patellofemoral pathology (NORM), performed the traditional straight leg raise (SLR) and a modified straight leg raise with external hip rotation (MOD). Each subject performed an isometric maximum voluntary contraction and three trials of each of the two therapeutic exercises. The EMG variables analyzed were the percent of the maximum voluntary contraction for each muscle, vastus medialis oblique, vastus lateralis, and rectus femoris: the percent of the maximum voluntary contraction of the ratio between the vastus medialis oblique and the vastus lateralis; the percent of the maximum voluntary contraction for the integrated EMG for each muscle; and the percent of the maximum voluntary contraction for the root mean square for each muscle. The statistical analysis was conducted with two-way analysis of variance procedures. The statistical analysis revealed no significant differences; however, the data appeared to illustrate a trend toward more electromyographical activity in the vastus medialis oblique in the PHY subject group during the MOD therapeutic exercise. This suggests that the MOD therapeutic exercise may be able to isolate the vastus medialis oblique muscle in persons with anterior knee pain and allow them to regain strength and normal function earlier than with the use of the SLR therapeutic exercise.School of Physical Education

Thesis (MScPhysio)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Introduction: Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS), an overuse injury, is the second most common running injury and the main cause of lateral knee pain in runners. Due to the increasing number of runners worldwide there has been an increase in its occurrence. Runners with ITBS typically experience symptoms just after heel strike at approximately 20°-30° of knee flexion (impingement zone) during the stance phase of running. A variety of intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors may be responsible for why some runners are more prone to developing symptoms during the impingement zone as opposed to others. Abnormalities in running biomechanics is an intrinsic risk factor which has been most extensively described in literature but little is known about its exact relationship to ITBS. Objectives: The purpose of this systematic review was to provide an up to date evidence synthesis of the biomechanical risk factors associated with ITBS. These risk factors may need to be considered in the prevention or management of ITBS in runners. A clinical algorithm is also presented. Methods: A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted. An electronic search was performed in PubMed, PEDro, SPORTSDisc and Scopus of literature published up-until May 2014. Cross-sectional and cohort studies were eligible for inclusion if they evaluated the lower limb biomechanics of runners with ITBS or those who went onto developing it. All studies included in the review were methodologically appraised. Evidence was graded according to the level of evidence, consistency of evidence and the clinical impact. Data was described narratively using tables or narrative summaries where appropriate. A meta-analysis was conducted for biomechanical risk factors which were reported in at least two studies, provided that homogeneity in the outcomes and samples were present. Results: A total of 11 studies were included (1 prospective and 10 cross-sectional). Overall the methodological score of the studies was moderate. Increased peak hip adduction and knee internal rotation during the stance phase may predict the development of ITBS in female runners. These biomechanical risk factors may need to be screened for ITBS prevention, despite the evidence base being limited to a single study. Currently there is no conclusive evidence that any of the biomechanical parameters need to be considered when managing runners with ITBS. Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za iii Conclusion: Biomechanical differences may exist between runners with ITBS and those who may develop ITBS compared to healthy runners. Although a large variety of biomechanical risk factors were evaluated, the evidence base for screening or managing these risk factors for runners with ITBS is limited. This is due to a small evidence base, small clinical effect and heterogeneity between study outcomes and findings. Further prospective and cross-sectional research is required to ascertain if abnormalities in running biomechanics may be related to why runners develop ITBS or to ascertain which risk factors may be involved when managing these runners.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Inleiding: Iliotibiale-band-sindroom (ITBS), ’n besering vanweë oormatige gebruik, is die tweede algemeenste hardloopbesering en die hoofoorsaak van laterale kniepyn by hardlopers. Namate die getal hardlopers wêreldwyd toeneem, neem die voorkoms van hierdie toestand ook toe. Hardlopers met ITBS ervaar tipies simptome ná die hakslag met die knie ongeveer 20-30° gebuig (die wrywingsone of “impingement zone”) gedurende die staanfase van hardloop. Verskeie intrinsieke en ekstrinsieke risikofaktore kan ’n rol speel in waarom sommige hardlopers meer geneig is as ander om gedurende die wrywingsone simptome te ervaar. Abnormaliteite in hardloopbiomeganika is ’n intrinsieke risikofaktor wat reeds omvattend in die literatuur beskryf is. Tog is weinig bekend oor presies hoe dit met ITBS verband hou. Oogmerke: Die doel van hierdie stelselmatige ondersoek was om ’n sintese te bied van die jongste bewyse van die biomeganiese risikofaktore van ITBS. Hierdie risikofaktore kan dalk oorweeg word om ITBS by hardlopers te voorkom of te bestuur. ’n Kliniese algoritme word ook aangebied. Metodes: ’n Stelselmatige ondersoek is met behulp van meta-ontleding onderneem. PubMed, PEDro, SPORTSDisc en Scopus is elektronies deurgesoek vir literatuur wat tot en met Mei 2014 verskyn het. Deursnee en kohortstudies is ingesluit indien dit gehandel het oor die biomeganika in die onderste ledemate van hardlopers wat ITBS het of later ontwikkel het. Alle studies wat deel was van die ondersoek is metodologies geëvalueer. Bewyse is aan die hand van bewysvlak, bewyskonsekwentheid en kliniese impak beoordeel. Data is narratief beskryf met behulp van tabelle of narratiewe opsommings waar dit toepaslik was. ’n Meta-ontleding is onderneem waar biomeganiese risikofaktore in minstens twee studies aangemeld is, mits daar homogeniteit in die uitkomste sowel as die steekproewe was. Resultate: Altesaam 11 studies is ingesluit (een prospektief en tien deursnee). Die metodologiese telling van die studies was oorwegend gemiddeld. Verhoogde spitsheupadduksie en interne knierotasie gedurende die staanfase kan op die ontwikkeling van ITBS by vrouehardlopers dui. Hierdie biomeganiese risikofaktore kan dalk nagegaan word vir ITBS-voorkoming, al was die bewysbasis beperk tot ’n enkele studie. Daar is tans geen afdoende bewys dat enige van die biomeganiese parameters oorweeg behoort te word in die bestuur van langafstandatlete met ITBS nie. Gevolgtrekking: Daar bestaan dalk biomeganiese verskille tussen hardlopers wat ITBS het of kan ontwikkel en gesonde hardlopers. Hoewel ’n groot verskeidenheid biomeganiese risikofaktore beoordeel is, is die bewysbasis vir die toets of bestuur daarvan by atlete met ITBS beperk. Dít is vanweë die klein hoeveelheid bewyse, die klein kliniese impak, en heterogeniteit tussen studie-uitkomste en bevindinge. Verdere prospektiewe en deursneenavorsing word vereis om te bepaal of abnormaliteite in hardloopbiomeganika ’n rol kan speel in waarom langafstandhardlopers ITBS ontwikkel, of om vas te stel watter risikofaktore ter sprake kan wees in die bestuur van hierdie hardlopers.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The primary purpose of this study was to determine the ratio of activation between the VMO and VL while performing three selected knee exercises (drop squat, modified lateral squat, Muncie Method). Additionally, the data was analyzed to determine if a correlation existed between the muscle's activation rate per set and whether or not the rates are affected by Q-angle or gender. Twenty Ball State University subjects (10 male, 10 female) who were asymptomatic to Patellofemoral Syndrome (PFS), provided electroymyographic (EMG) data while performing the three selected exercises. A one-way ANOVA found no statistical significance (p=0.500) on any of the tested variables except the Drop Squat VL Root Mean Square (RMS). Significant correlations were found between: VL RMS to set number during drop squat, and VMO and VL RMS to set number during Muncie Method performance. Based on the results of this study, each of these exercises could be used to selectively strengthen the VMO in treatment of PFS.School of Physical Education

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Augmented Soft Tissue Mobilization (ASTM) is a new noninvasive technique utilized to treat chronic musculoskeletal injuries. The purpose of this study was to trace the morphological events in collagenase injured rat Achilles tendons during ASTM treatment and to observe passive occurrence of post treatment remodeling in tendons. Twelve groups of rats were divided into the following categories, A) control, B) sham surgery, C) ASTM only, D) ASTM/sham , E) tendinitis, F) ASTM/tendinitis 1 week, G) ASTM/tendinits 2 weeks H) ASTM/tendinits 3 weeks I) ASTM/tendinits 4 weeks, J) Post ASTM 5 weeks, K) Post ASTM 10 weeks, L) Post ASTM 15 weeks. One week after the last designated treatment, the Achilles tendons were harvested and then prepared for light microscopy, electron microscopy, and bifringence polarizing microscopy. An increase in fibroblast activation and proliferation was noted with the tendinitis, ASTM/tendinitis, and post groups. Ossification occurred in the core of the Achilles tendon in all of the ASTM groups. The presence of inflammatory cells was observed in the tendons and longitudinal remodeling of the collagen fibers did not occur.Department of Biology

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
AbstractPathological scarring in burn wounds can result in hypertrophic scars and/or contractures. Prevalences of hypertrophic scarring after burn injuries between 8% and 67% are reported. A recent prospective study revealed a prevalence of 8%. Data on prevalence of burn scar contractures are limited; reported prevalence at discharge varied between 38 and 54% and decreased with an increasing time post burn. About 5–20% of the people who suffered from burn injuries received reconstructive surgery after burns, up to 10 years post injury.Factors predicting pathological scar formation after burn injuries include patient, injury and treatment characteristics. Injury- and treatment-related characteristics are the main predictors of scar outcomes after burn injury. These characteristics are related to burn size (total body surface area burned) and burn depth (number or type of surgery) or the overall healing process in general (length of stay, wound healing complications). Intrinsic patient-related risk factors seem to play a role as well but are less consistent predictors of scar outcome. This includes the risk factors like the female gender and also a younger age and darker skin.Knowledge on risk factors for poor scar outcome can be used to tailor treatment, aftercare and scar prevention to these patients with a high-risk profile.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This chapter addresses the vital area of wound care, including the impact that wounds can have upon patients and their families, and the nursing management challenges that they present. As a registered nurse caring for patients with wounds, you will be responsible for making a clinical assessment of the patient with a wound, making clinical decisions based on the most appropriate evidence-based, nurse-led interventions, and, crucially, measuring patient outcomes. The latter involves continuous monitoring of how both the patient and his or her wound is responding, or not, to the treatment and care that you give. This chapter presents a generic approach to wound management, and this should help you to deliver high-quality, safe wound care for patients with wounds of differing aetiologies. This includes core components of interventions for acute, chronic, and palliative wound care. Importantly, the chapter has been designed to help you to make the links between assessment, clinical decision-making, nursing interventions, and patient care. Nurses play a key role in the multidisciplinary team in the delivery of wound care, and frequently act as the ‘point of contact’ for the manufacturers and suppliers of wound care products. The approach advocated in this chapter will equip you to make informed assessments and clinical decisions. Wounds are injuries to the body, the skin in particular, causing a breach of the layers of skin (see Chapter 12 Understanding Skin Conditions) and the body boundary. The term ‘wound’ also defines the act of injuring a person’s skin. This may be deliberate, e.g. during a surgical procedure, or deliberate to cause harm, e.g. during warfare, terrorist attacks, or domestic and street violence. Wounding can also occur with accidents (a cut from a kitchen knife), natural disasters (earthquake), and exposure to environmental stresses such as extreme heat (burns, skin cancers), extreme cold (frostbite), excessive pressure, and excessive exposure to water and moisture (trench foot). Wounds also develop because of diseases and conditions such as diabetes, which disrupt the structures of the skin and the normal metabolic processes that maintain skin health (see Chapter 9 Understanding Diabetes Mellitus).

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This chapter examines the medical challenges posed by the increased number of gunshot wounds during the civil wars, and sets out the changes in the way these wounds were treated. The treatment of battlefield wounds expounded in surgeons’ manuals, is placed in context with what we now understand about the biology, pathology and effective treatment methods for wounds. The techniques used by the civil-war surgeon are compared with those of later periods. Despite a lack of understanding of microbiology, physiology and, in many cases, anatomy, many methods employed by civil-war military surgeons reflect good contemporary surgical practice. Despite the lack of antibiotics, anaesthetics, hygienic environments and high-quality surgical implements, survival rates from injuries on the field arrear to have been considerable, if treated. In developing treatments for the problems posed by gunshot wounds, some civil-war surgeons used an evidence-based approach, and laid the foundations for much modern surgical practice.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of hereditary skin diseases, or genodermatoses, characterized by the formation of severe, chronic blisters with painful and life-threatening complications. Despite the previous and ongoing progress in the field, there are still no effective causative treatments for EB. The treatment is limited to relieving symptoms, which—depending on disease severity—may involve skin (blisters, poorly healing wounds caused by the slightest mechanical stimuli, contractures, scarring, pseudosyndactyly) and internal organ abnormalities (esophageal, pyloric, or duodenal atresia; renal failure; and hematopoietic abnormalities). The last decade saw a series of important discoveries that paved the way for new treatment methods, including gene therapy, bone marrow transplantation, cell therapy (allogenic fibroblasts, mesenchymal stem cells [MSCs], and clinical use of induced pluripotent stem cells. Tissue engineering experts are attempting to develop skin-like structures that can facilitate the process of healing to promote skin reconstruction in injuries that are currently incurable. However, this is incredibly challenging, due to the complex structure and the many functions of the skin. Below, we characterize EB and present its potential treatment methods. Despite the cure for EB being still out of reach, recent data from animal models and initial clinical trials in humans have raised patients’, clinicians’, and researchers’ expectations. Consequently, modifying the course of the disease and improving the quality of life have become possible. Moreover, the conclusions drawn based on EB treatment may considerably improve the treatment of other genetic diseases.

Though responsible for just 4% of burn centre admissions, electrical injuries present in a myriad of ways. From small, innocuous, partial-thickness injuries on the fingertip, to a high-voltage injury requiring amputation and complex reconstruction, the burn surgeon must be equipped with the knowledge and skill to deal with such varying injuries. This chapter describes the epidemiology of electrical injury and the pathophysiology of electrical current passing through the patient. The management of high- and low-voltage wounds is described, as is the treatment of the systemic effects of the electrical injury.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) occur when a person undergoes trauma due to variety of reasons. Traumatic injuries are part of the growing up years and can have ever lasting wounds with scarring on the affected individuals. Treatment and rehabilitation of the teeth with traumatic injuries are essential for long term survival of the teeth. Immediate care, appropriate diagnosis and treatment with comprehensive follow-up are essential for a favorable prognosis of the affected teeth. A coordinated effort from different specialties including general dentist, oral radiologist, pediatric dentist, periodontist, oral surgeon, orthodontist and endodontist is essential for success of the treatment. Team efforts involving these different specialists will help the patient to receive successful long term outcome. Proper oral hygiene maintenance during and after traumatic dental injury, is required to stop the deterioration of the tooth and periodontal structures. The caregiver in children and the adult with traumatic dental injuries should be educated and guided about the proper oral hygiene techniques especially in the areas with dental injury. Dentist must be aware of the treatments rendered to the teeth with trauma and should have up-to-date knowledge of the oral hygiene measures to be inculcated in the subjects with dental trauma. This chapter highlights the oral hygiene measures to be followed by the subjects with TDIs and also includes measures to be followed by the dentist in such a scenario.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Abstract With the rise in use of IEDs during armed conflicts, there has been an increase in the number of injuries to the extremities. Shrapnel and debris ejected during the explosion become high-speed projectiles capable of penetrating soft tissues, bringing bacterial contamination into the wound. If not properly treated, that contamination could lead to infection. Studies aimed at understanding the distribution of bacterial contamination along the permanent cavity could provide useful information to improve treatment protocols for these types of injuries. In this paper, a lower extremity surrogate model was used to investigate bacterial distribution in partial penetration ballistic wounds. The targets used were ballistic gelatin blocks that had an Escherichia coli-laden filter paper placed on their front face. Spherical projectiles were fired into the targets adjusting their speed to obtain three different partial penetration depths. After each shot, a gelatin strip containing the permanent cavity was extracted and segmented. The permanent cavity was removed from each segment, placed in a test tube with buffer solution, and heated in a water bath to melt the gelatin. Standard microbiology protocols were followed to determine the number of colony forming units (CFUs) in each segment. The bacteria distribution was represented by percent of total CFU in the permanent cavity versus segment number. In addition, bacterial contamination as a function of projectile penetration depth was explored. For the cases considered, most of the bacterial contamination occurred in the segments closer to the projectile entry point.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Frequent cases of man-made disasters, terrorist attacks and military conflicts lead to an increase in the number of victims. Significant soft tissue defects are known to result from gunshot wounds. So, as a result of mine-blasting injuries, defects in the skin and underlying tissues more than 10 cm in diameter are formed in 71.1% of cases. The prerequisite for the uncomplicated course of the wound process is to achieve an adequate comparison of the edges of the wound without excessive tension. To close such extensive wounds, various technical means are used: sutures on pads, various types of dermatotension. We have developed various models of wound contractors (RC) for treatment of wounds. With the help of the RC, a complete reposition and good adaptation of the edges of the wound is created. The wound closure method using these RC almost completely eliminates tissue cutting and limits the sawing effect to a minimum. This is explained by the effects of elastic forces reducing to zero when matching soft tissues and suturing. The use of hardware methods for suturing wounds requires the development of mathematical models of various types of wounds and surgical sutures. These models should provide a simulation of living tissues of the wound edges behavior to achieve the best results in the treatment of wounds by RC advanced technologies. The purpose of this study is to mathematically justify RC with the parallel holding of spokes. Another purpose is to develop a mathematical model of the wounds suturing by hardware technology.
