Botulinum toxin type A in the healing of a chronic buttock ulcer in a patient with spastic paraplegia after spinal cord injury.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Pressure sores are a significant secondary complication in spinal cord injured patients. A new indication for botulinum toxin type A is described here, in treatment of recurrent muscular spasms that had hampered the healing of a chronic ... Read more...

A randomized clinical trial investigating the relationship between aprotinin and hypercoagulability in off-pump coronary surgery.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery is associated with a hypercoagulable state in which the platelet thrombin receptor, protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1), helps propagate a thrombin burst within saphenous vein grafts. ... Read more...

Tissue-type plasminogen activator prevents abscess formation but does not affect healing of bowel anastomoses and laparotomy wounds in rats with secondary peritonitis.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Intra-abdominal application of recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rtPA) can decrease the rate of abscess formation in a rat peritonitis model. Before using rtPA clinically, its effects on healing of bowel anastomoses and ... Read more...
