The physical capacity of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) dressing on the bacterial growth in an vitro model was investigated. Standardised wounds were contaminated with a clinical Staphylococcus aureus strain and incubated at 35 degrees C for 6 hours. Four treated continuous (125 mmHg) four controls without. Bacterial load per gram tissue polyurethane sponge measured after 24, 36 72 Without pressure, initial mean S. 1.42 x 10(4), 1.84 P = 0.294. After hours, both models yielded...
Macrophages produce the cytokine oncostatin M (OSM), which beside other functions is also involved in inflammation. The complement component C5a mobilizes and activates these cells at inflammatory sites. We examined effect of on OSM production human monocytes monocyte-derived macrophages.For macrophage transformation peripheral blood were cultivated for 8 to 10 days presence serum. significantly increased antigen as determined by specific ELISA mRNA quantitated real-time polymerase chain...
Background: Perforations of surgical gloves are common and increase with the duration glove wear. Skin flora, re-grown after pre-operative disinfection hands, may contaminate a site. An antimicrobial chlorhexidine on its inner surface has been developed. We hypothesized that by suppressing re-growth skin flora during complete course procedure, reduce risk site contamination in event an intra-operative breach. Methods: conducted randomized, double-blind, single-center trial, to measure any...
Besides playing a critical role in maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis, the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAS) has been strongly implicated (aortic) aneurysm pathogenesis. This study aims to investigate systemic and local levels of angiotensin (Ang) its metabolites patients with arterial aneurysms, predominantly abdominal aortic using advanced biochemical profiling techniques provide new insights into involvement RAS genesis. A prospective, single-center was conducted between...
Introduction: Apart from their high burden of disease, major amputations, especially due to macro- and microangiopathic malperfusion, persist inflict a relevant socioeconomic impact in most geographic regions. It has been repeatedly shown that lower extremity amputations are associated with impaired post-operative survival. In the present study, we investigated whether metrics derived routine laboratory studies after amputation Methods: this retrospective single-center analysis, 244 patients...
Abstract OBJECTIVES Spinal cord injury is detrimental for patients undergoing open or endovascular thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair. The aim of this survey and the modified Delphi consensus was to gather information on current practices standards in neuroprotection TAAA. METHODS Aortic Association conducted an international online neuromonitoring TAAA In a first round expert panel put together different aspects neuromonitoring. Based answers from survey, 18 questions were...
