Effects of Hyalobarrier gel and Seprafilm in preventing peritendinous adhesions following crush-type injury in a rat model.

Background: In the present study, the aim was to evaluate the effects of Hyalobarrier gel (Anika Therapeutics S.r.l.

Effect of lidocaine on reducing injury in a rat electrical burn model.

Electrical injuries induce progressive tissue loss. We evaluated the effect of lidocaine on tissue necrosis after electrical burn injuries. Forty-two male Wistar albino rats (250-300 g) were divided into 3 groups [Group A (n=6), control group without an electrical burn injury; and Groups B (n=18) and C (n=18), electrical burn injury groups without and with lidocaine therapy, respectively].

Late-onset pulmonary edema and disseminated intravascular coagulation due to latex anaphylaxis.

Background: Anaphylaxis after the administration of tissue expanders has been reported. Late onset hypotension, thrombocytopenia, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and pulmonary edema due to the tissue expanders have not been reported.

Methods: In this case report, late onset hypotension, thrombocytopenia, disseminated intravascular coagulation and pulmonary edema due to the administration of tissue expanders were described.
