Treatment of superficial and deep partial width second degree burn's wound with allogeneic cord blood platelet gel.

Background: Burns are caused by a variety of mechanisms, including flames, hot liquids, metallurgy, chemicals, electric current, and ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. The most significant burn wound management involves complete repair and regeneration as soon as possible while minimizing infection, contraction, and scarring in the damaged tissue area. Some factors such as delivery of nutrients, growth factors, and oxygen are essential to promote and stimulate the wound healing progress in the burns area.

Incorporation of Silver Nanoparticles in Hydrogel Matrices for Controlling Wound Infection.

For centuries, silver has been recognized for its antibacterial properties. With the development of nanotechnology, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have garnered significant attention for their diverse uses in antimicrobial gel formulations, dressings for wound healing, orthopedic applications, medical catheters and instruments, implants, and contact lens coatings. A major focus has been determining AgNPs' physical, chemical, and biological characteristics and their potential to be incorporated in biocomposite materials, particularly hydrogel scaffolds, for burn and wound healing.

Efficacy of allogeneic cord blood platelet gel on wounds of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa patients after pseudosyndactyly surgery.

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the formation of blisters and wounds in skin and mucous membranes; it is classified into four types and has various methods of treatment. Management of previous wounds and prevention of formation of new lesions are the most important strategies in the course of therapy to improve patient's quality of life; lack of wound management can lead to further complications such as infection. The current study investigated the therapeutic effects of allogeneic platelet gel (prepared from umbilical cord blood) in a group of children diagnosed with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) eligible for surgical correction of pseudosyndactyly in the hand.
