Article Abstract

High-pressure injection injuries of the hand represent one of the most serious surgical emergencies of the upper extremity. It is imperative to understand the mechanism of injury and the parts that take place for this injury to occur (material, pressure, site of injury). Prompt recognition and treatment may alter the final outcome.

is a widely distributed nosocomial pathogen that causes various acute and chronic infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. In this study, the activities of the K9-specific virulent phage AM24 and phage-encoded depolymerase DepAPK09 were assessed using in vivo mouse sepsis and burn skin infection models. In the mouse sepsis model, in the case of prevention or early treatment, a single K9-specific phage or recombinant depolymerase injection was able to protect 100% of the mice after parenteral infection with a lethal dose of of the K9-type, with complete eradication of the pathogen.

Background/objectives: Leukocytes play a significant role in both acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), contributing to pathogenesis and tissue damage. The process of leukocyte infiltration into the inflamed tissues is mediated by the interactions between the leukocytes and cell adhesion molecules (CAMs, i.e.

Reactive astrogliosis and acidosis, common features of epileptogenic lesions, express a high level of astrocytic acid-sensing ion channel-1a (ASIC1a), a proton-gated cation channel and key mediator of responses to neuronal injury. This study investigates the role of astrocytic ASIC1a in cognitive impairment following epilepsy. Status epilepticus (SE) in C57/BL6 mice was induced using lithium-pilocarpine; the impact of ASIC1a on astrocytes was assessed using rAAV-ASIC1a-NC and rAAV-ASIC1a-shRNA, injected in the CA3 region of mice.

Promoting rapid healing is a concern in skin wound treatment, as the increased pain and the loss of functional ability when wounds become chronic create a complex problem to manage. This scoping review aimed to explore the literature and synthesize existing knowledge on the therapeutic use of CO in treating cutaneous wounds. The literature was selected using previously defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and 22 articles were selected for data extraction.
