A TOUGH, ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIOXIDANT HYDROGEL DRESSING ACCELERATES WOUND HEALING AND SUPPRESSES HYPERTROPHIC SCAR FORMATION IN INFECTED WOUNDS

A tough, antibacterial and antioxidant hydrogel dressing accelerates wound healing and suppresses hypertrophic scar formation in infected wounds

Wound management is an important issue that places enormous pressure on the physical and mental health of patients, especially in cases of infection, where the increased inflammatory response could lead to severe hypertrophic scars (HSs).In this study, a hydrogel dressing was developed by combining the high strength and toughness, swelling resistan

Binding characteristics of the ovine membrane progesterone receptor alpha and expression of the receptor during the estrous cycle

Abstract Background Classically, progesterone has been thought to act only through the well-known genomic pathway involving hormone binding to nuclear receptors and subsequent modulation of gene expression.However, there is increasing evidence for rapid, non-genomic effects of progesterone in a variety of mammalian tissues and it is possible that O

Modelling malaria reduction in a highly endemic country: Evidence from household survey, climate, and program data in Zambia

Substantial efforts have seen the reduction in malaria prevalence from 33% in 2006 to 19.4% in 2015 in Zambia.Many studies have used effect measures, such as odds ratios, of malaria interventions without combining this information with coverage levels of the interventions to assess how malaria prevalence would change if these interventions were sca
