Background: Plantar ulcers are one of the significant causes of morbidity in diabetic and non- diabetic neuropathic foot and remain a major initiating event for amputation. This randomized controlled trial was carried out to establish the benefits of the 'Mandakini' dressing in comparison with conventional wet gauze dressings, in patients with neuropathic plantar ulcers.Methods: The treatment group received ‘Mandakini’ dressing which was changed every week. Control group received conventional wet gauze dressings. Size of the ulcer, grade of the ulcer and wound surface area was assessed at the end of every week up to 6 weeks in both groups. The percentage of wound covered with granulation tissue, the percentage of wound covered with non-viable tissue and the time taken for healing of the ulcer were compared between the two groups.Results: A total of 60 patients were randomized into treatment and control group with 30 patients in each. The ‘Mandakini’ dressing group had a significant reduction in the wound size at 6 weeks compared to the control group (1.29 vs. 2.31 cm2; p ≤0.0001). Time taken for healing of the ulcer was significantly less in ‘Mandakini’ dressing group (4.83 vs. 5.4 weeks; p=0.013).Conclusions: Mandakini dressing significantly reduces the wound size and time taken for the healing of plantar ulcer compared to conventional wet gauze dressing. Patient acceptability, patient satisfaction, quality of life and cost of the total treatment were better in Mandakini dressing group.

Full textAbstract:
The skin serves as a critical barrier against external pathogens, and its wound healing is a complex biological process that requires careful management to ensure optimal tissue regeneration. Hydrogels, a class of hydrophilic polymers, have emerged as promising materials for wound dressings due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to create a moist wound environment conducive to cell proliferation and migration. In this research, a hydrogel dressing containing cefdinir (Cef) was made from a combination of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and gelatin (Gel) by a physical crosslinking method, and their physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties were investigated. Results show that the addition of Cef does not cause a significant change in the morphology or the tensile strength of the wound dressing. The swelling and degradation rate of the hydrogel slightly increased in the presence of Cef. The presence of Cef enhanced antibacterial effects up to 2.5-fold against P. aeruginosa (35 mm), S. aureus (36 mm), and S. pyogenes (35 mm). The results of the cytotoxicity test showed the absence of cytotoxicity in both drug-containing and drug-free wound dressings, as well as a survival rate of over 75% in cells after 48 h. The drug-containing wound dressing accelerates the formation of the epidermis layer and the production of fibroblast cells, and as a result, accelerates the wound healing process. The percentage of wound healing on the ninth day of treatment for an untreated wound was 30%, while this percentage was 40% with a wound dressing without medicine and 60% with a wound dressing containing medicine, and on the fifteenth day of treatment, the wound treated with both wound dressings had more than 85% healing. As a result, it is possible to use CMC/Gel hydrogel polymeric wound dressing containing Cef as a wound dressing for wound healing, according to the desired physicochemical properties and biocompatibility.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: This study aimed to compare two dressing methods used as skin graft bolsters. The two dressings were compared as to efficacy (% graft take), ease of application, pain scores, safety (complication rate) and cost. Methods: This is a prospective randomized controlled trial involving 34 patients. The basis of comparison between the two dressing methods included: efficacy determined by percentage of graft take on the 7th and 14th day post-Split Thickness Skin Grafting; ease of the application (amount of time to apply dressing); pain (VAS) scores at 1st, 7th and 14th day post-Split Thickness Skin Grafting; complications and costs. Results: The NPWT group has statistically significant differences from the Tie-Over Bolster group. NPWT took less time to apply the dressing (1-10mins vs 6-15mins), had a higher percentage of graft take (99.05% vs 96.52%), had lower pain scores overall, had lower complication rates (infection: 0% vs 2.94%), and cost less (Php 2,917.00 vs Php 3,684.00). Discussion: The Low-Cost NPWT system was developed in this institution due to the exorbitant cost of commercial NPWT pump and dressing systems. Thus, a week-long NPWT therapy using commercial NPWT systems may cost as much as Php 24,000.00, while the low-cost NPWT alternative only costs Php2,917.00. Conclusions: The locally-developed, low-cost NPWT dressing has been proven to be faster to apply, more effective in integrating split thickness skin grafts, has less discomfort and complications, and is actually cheaper than the conventional tie-over bolster dressings Key words: Negative pressure wound therapy, Tie-over bolster dressing, Split thickness skin grafting

Full textAbstract:
Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are one of the major complications of diabetes. Despite proper insulin treatment and a strict diabetic diet, 15% of diabetic population develop non-healing ulcers which leads to amputation of the lower limb. Wound dressings represent a part of the management of diabetic foot ulceration. Normal saline (0.9%) wound dressings have been a useful adjunct in the treatment of open wounds. Topical insulin dressing improves wound healing by regulating oxidative and inflammatory responses. PRP dressing has emerged as an adjunctive and newer method for treating DFUs. Hence, the present study was undertaken to compare the effect of topical insulin, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and normal saline dressing in healing of DFU. Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to study the comparison between topical application of insulin versus PRP versus regular normal saline dressing in healing of DFU. Materials and Methods: It is a duration based prospective comparative study including 60 patients divided equally into normal saline dressing group, topical insulin dressing group and PRP dressing group after they fulfilled all the inclusion and exclusion criteria and after obtaining the proper informed and written consent from relatives/patients. Ulcers at days 0, 7 and 14 in terms of size, depth and percentage reduction in area of wound were analyzed. Results: The mean ulcer size at day 14 in normal saline was 4.19±0.95, in Insulin 2.64±0.83 while 2.08±0.47 in PRP group. The mean ulcer depth at day 14 in normal saline was 5.35±1.18, in insulin 4.30±1.38 while 2.35±1.42 (mm) in PRP group, percentage reduction of mean ulcer size in normal saline was 27.02±4.46, in insulin 50.31±7.53 and 63.80±5.75% in PRP group. Conclusion: PRP appears to be a promising agent in terms of faster wound healing, more significant reduction in the size of DFU as compared to topical insulin and other conventional dressings.

Full textAbstract:
In a multicentre, prospective, randomised trial of 44 patients with exuding leg ulcers, a new hydrofibre dressing was compared with an alginate dressing in terms of dressing performance, patient comfort, safety and cost-effectiveness. The groups were well matched with regard to sex and age. A statistically significant difference between treatment groups was observed in mean wear time, with a longer wear time of four days observed in the hydrofibre dressing group compared to three days in the alginate group. The hydrofibre dressing group therefore demonstrated a significantly lower frequency of dressing changes required per week. Significantly more patients achieved a seven-day wear time with the hydrofibre dressing than with the alginate dressing. There was no difference with regard to percentage change in ulcer area. Cost-effectiveness was based on the cost of dressings, compression therapy and nursing time to achieve a healed wound. However, because of small patient numbers, it was difficult to make an accurate comparison. This study suggests that the hydrofibre dressing may have clinical benefits that merit further investigation with larger patient numbers.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of two commonly used moist dressings, Aquacel and Aquacel Foam (both ConvaTec Ltd., UK), in managing split-thickness skin graft (STSG) donor site wounds. Method: Patients undergoing STSG harvesting for reconstruction were eligible for this quasi-experimental study. After reconstruction surgery, the Aquacel (A) or Aquacel Foam (AF) dressings were applied on the donor site wound. The STSG donor site was assessed by two trained research nurses daily. Clinical outcomes including pain on dressing removal, use of intravenous analgesics, signs and symptoms of wound infection, incidence of exudate leakage and percentage healed were recorded in a standardised form. Cost of the dressing change was retrieved from the hospital billing system. Results: Of 50 patients recruited, 25 received dressing A and 25 received the AF dressing for their STSG donor site wound. The average pain score on dressing removal was significantly lower in the AF dressing group compared with the A dressing group (0.8±0.8 versus 3.1±1.5, respectively (p=0.04)). Regression analysis demonstrated that compared with dressing A, the AF dressing was associated with a lower average pain score (beta: –2.27, standard error: 0.33; p<0.001), lower likelihood of pro re nata (PRN) intravenous analgesic use (odds ratio (OR)=0.21, 95% confidence interval: 0.06–0.71; p=0.01) and lower likelihood of exudate leakage (OR=0.11, p=0.01). The differences in time to wound healing, infection and cost were not statistically significant between the two groups. Conclusion: In this study, the AF dressing demonstrated superior performance in pain response on dressing removal for STSG donor site wounds compared with dressing A. Large-scale randomised controlled trials should be conducted to confirm the findings.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a biocellulose, a carboxymethyl cellulose and a normal saline wound dressing in the wound care management of epidermolysis bullosa (EB) skin wounds. Methods: This was a single-blind, randomised controlled trial involving wounds from patients with EB. Wounds were divided into three groups: group I with biocellulose wound dressing, group II with carboxymethyl cellulose wound dressing and group III with normal saline wound dressing as a control. All dressing changes and wound parameters were recorded. Observations were conducted every three days until complete wound closure or up to one month. Results: The outcomes of treatment of 36 wounds from four patients were evaluated in this study. Mean healing time in group I was seven days, eight days in group II and 14 days in group III. There were significant differences in healing times between group I and group III (p=0.0001) and between group II and III (p=0.001). The results showed a significant reduction in the percentage of wounds area on day three for each group: 51.7% in group I, 51.9% in group II, and 26% for group III. All wounds in groups I and II had healed at day 12 (100%) and at day 24 (100%) in group III. There were significant differences in the reduction of percentage wound area between group I and group III at day three (p=0.044) and day six (p=0.000), and between group II and III at day six (p=0.003). Conclusion: The study demonstrates that both the biocellulose and the carboxymethyl cellulose wound dressings significantly reduced percentage wound areas and complete healing times compared with the normal saline wound dressing in EB skin wounds, demonstrating they are both equally good for wound care management in EB patients.

Wound Management & Prevention 68, no. 12 (2022): 20–24. http://dx.doi.org/10.25270/wmp.2022.12.2024.
Full textAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Standardized treatment of split-thickness skin graft (STSG) donor sites is not established. Bleeding can necessitate premature dressing changes, interrupting the healing process and increasing pain. PURPOSE: A collagen/oxidized regenerated cellulose (C/ORC) dressing was used on the donor site. The authors hypothesized that the collagen matrix could decrease bleeding-related complications, reduce pain, and foster epithelialization. METHODS: The C/ORC matrix was applied to the donor site after hemostasis was achieved. Dressings were removed between postoperative days 4 and 7, and the patients’ pain levels, bleeding complications, and percentage healed were recorded. RESULTS: Thirty-nine patients were treated with the C/ORC donor site dressing. Of these, 35 patients (89.7%) were receiving at least prophylactic anticoagulation, and no bleeding complications were recorded. The average area of donor sites was 123.8 cm2 (range, 20-528 cm2). Utilizing the Numerical Rating Scale, 25 patients (64.1%) reported no pain with dressing removal while 5 (12.8%) reported a decrease in pain. The percentage of epithelialization as assessed by treating clinician was at least equivalent to other modalities. CONCLUSIONS: The application of a C/ORC matrix to STSG donor wound sites resulted in no bleeding complications and excellent pain control while promoting epithelialization in the patients studied. Following this study, the C/ORC dressing has been incorporated into the authors’ standard protocol.

Full textAbstract:
Eclipta prostrata (E. prostrata) has several biological activities, including antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities, that improve wound healing. It is well known that physical properties and pH environment are crucial considerations when developing wound dressings containing medicinal plant extracts in order to create an appropriate environment for wound healing. In this study, we prepared a foam dressing containing E. prostrata leaf extract and gelatin. Chemical composition was verified using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and pore structure was obtained using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The physical properties of the dressing, including absorption and dehydration properties, were also evaluated. The chemical properties were measured to determine the pH environment after the dressing was suspended in water. The results revealed that the E. prostrata dressings had a pore structure with an appropriate pore size (313.25 ± 76.51 µm and 383.26 ± 64.45 µm for the E. prostrata A and E. prostrata B dressings, respectively). The E. prostrata B dressings showed a higher percentage of weight increase in the first hour and a faster dehydration rate in the first 4 h. Furthermore, the E. prostrata dressings had a slightly acidic environment (5.28 ± 0.02 and 5.38 ± 0.02 for the E. prostrata A and E. prostrata B dressings at 48 h, respectively).

Full textAbstract:
This study evaluates the effect of different crude protein levels in broiler diets supplemented with 0.2% and 0.3% protease enzyme (Ronozyme Pro Act) on dressed carcass weight and dressing percentage during two fattening periods (49 and 63 days). The fast-growing strain Cobb 500 was used. At the end of the fattening trial i.e. at 49 and 63 days, 10 male and 10 female birds were randomly sacrificed from each experimental group to determine body weights and conventionally dressed, ready-to-roast and ready-to-grill carcass weights. The data obtained were used to calculate the dressing percentages of the differently dressed carcasses. Results indicated that carcass weights and dressing percentages were not affected by diet (P>0.05), but also showed that the increase in the length of the fattening period by two weeks (from 7 to 9 weeks) led to increased carcass weights, while dressing percentages decreased (P<0.05).

Full textAbstract:
Objective: Currently there is limited real-world research on the adhesion qualities, pain and clinical performance of specific silicone adhesives products, and their role in maintaining skin integrity and preventing medical adhesive-related skin injuries (MARSI). This paper presents a clinical evaluation of performance and safety parameters of two silicone adhesive dressings on lacerations or surgical wounds and the surrounding skin in daily practice on fragile skin. Method: An observational, prospective, multicentre, uncontrolled post-market clinical observational study with Leukomed T skin sensitive and Leukomed T plus skin sensitive (both BSN medical GmbH, Essity Group) was undertaken at three sites across Germany between June 2021 to November 2022. Inclusion parameters were acute wounds (surgical or laceration) in patients with at least one fragile skin condition. Endpoints included: the percentage of adhered dressing area seven days after application of the dressings; and evaluation of any signs of skin damage and erythema following dressing removal. Furthermore, self-reported patient pain, comfort during dressing wear, and the health professionals’ ease of dressing handling with gloves were assessed. Results: A total of 42 patients with fragile skin and surgical wounds (35 patients) or lacerations (7 patients) were recruited. Mean age was 78 years. There were no signs of erythema following dressing removal and no MARSI (skin stripping, blister, skin tears, maceration, irritant contact dermatitis or allergic dermatitis) occurred at removal after seven days of wear time. Data demonstrated a reliable wound coverage with sufficient adhesion without negatively affecting the periwound skin and wound improvement was observed in 94% of patients. The vast majority of patients reported minimal pain at removal, reduced wound pain and high satisfaction with wearing comfort. Health professionals found the dressings easy to apply and remove, even with gloved hands. Conclusion: The results of this real-world evidence showed effective and well-tolerated use of transparent dressings with silicone adhesive in patients with fragile skin. The dressings may reduce the risk of skin damage including MARSI, while providing patients a high wearing comfort and allowing an almost pain-free dressing change.

At the end of the experiment, the birds were slaughtered and carcasses were analyzed for chemical composition to predict chemical composition (moisture, ash, protein and fat) from performance traits such as initial body weight (g) at 8wk, final live body weight (g) at 16wk, daily weight gain (g), daily feed intake (g), feed conversion ratio, daily protein intake (g), protein conversion ratio, dressing-out percentage. There were significant correlations between moisture, protein and fat; between ash, protein, fat and dressing-out percentage; between protein, fat and dressing-out percentage; between fat, moisture, ash, protein, live body weight, feed conversion ratio, protein conversion ratio and dressing-out percentage. Although the coefficient of correlation (R2) for prediction equations was not high, the moisture content equation depends on feed conversion ratio while for ash, protein and fat depends on dressing-out percentage.

Objective: This study aimed to collect and analyse real-life data to characterise the initial use of Hydrofiber Technology dressings for the management of exuding wounds in France. Method: An online survey of nurses provided data from patients managed with two dressings—AQUACEL Extra or AQUACEL Ribbon—as the primary dressing. At baseline, sociodemographic data, relevant medical histories and wound characteristics were recorded. The status of the wounds was then examined on days seven and 14 of management, together with scores of both clinician and patient satisfaction. Results: The survey included 1093 patients with a mean age of 65.9 years, comprising 53.3% women; 615 (56.3%) patients presented with acute wounds and 478 with hard-to-heal wounds. Wounds were reported to have healed or improved in 79.4% and 88.1% of the patients after 7 and 14 days, respectively. After 14 days, the wounds were smaller (p<0.001), and the percentage of sloughy wound bed tissue had decreased (p<0.001), while the percentage of granulation tissue and epithelialisation increased significantly (p=0.024 and p=0.047, respectively). Tolerance of the dressing was good, with low levels of pain reported, both while wearing the dressing and on removal. On day 14, nurses reported a high level of satisfaction, while 70% and 42.7% of patients with acute and hard-to-heal wounds, respectively, were ‘very satisfied’. Conclusion: The Hydrofiber Technology dressings aided wound healing when used in the management of a wide range of acute and hard-to-heal wounds in medical and surgical indications. User satisfaction was high from both healthcare professionals and patients.

Investigations were performed on lambs raised in cooperative farms and farm of ZZ STOCAR in Dimitrovgrad, immediately after the pasture fattening on Stara Planina Mountain in duration of 150 days. By random selection, 30 lambs of each sex were selected from male and female herds consisting of 300 and 200 lambs, respectively, in the second week of October, and were used for investigation of the dressing percentage. Fattening period lasted 240 days. The loss of live weight in transport to slaughterhouse was 8.24% in case of male lambs, and 8.33% in case of female lambs. Average body mass of male lambs was 32.07kg, and female lambs 27.70kg. Dressing percentage of carcasses from male lambs was 48.18, and of females 48.15%. With high quality nutrition the mass of carcasses and dressing percentage in improved Pirot Pramenka breed are noticeable increased. Dressing percentage of meat from lambs of improved Pirot Pramenka breed fattened on pasture can considerably be increased in relation to previous results obtained from non-fattened lambs. This fact indicates that the fattening is the best way to provide higher quantities of meat also of improved quality from lambs of Domestic Pramenka breed. It should also be pointed out that dressing percentage determined for lambs of improved Pirot Pramenka breed doesn't fully satisfy standards, however, the improvement can be achieved by modernization of the fattening technology and improved conditions of nutrition and care. This type of fattening complies with the standards of EU as ecologically produced food, that is meat.

Sixteen weaned (3.5-4 months) entire male lambs from each of Awassi and Karadi were weighed and randomly divided equally into two groups to receive concentrate (16% crude protein and 2769 kcal energy) either ad libitum or 3% of their body weights, and to be slaughtered at 36 or 44 kg. Results revealed that overall means of daily gain in weight, dressing percentage based on slaughter and empty body weight, rib eye area and fat thickness were 0.258±0.01 kg, 46.54± 0.49%, 54.35 ± 0.40%, 14.98 ±0.44 cm2 and 2.86 ± 0.12 mm, respectively. It seems that Awassi lambs significantly surpass Karadi lambs in dressing percentage based on slaughter weight and had thicker subcutaneous fat, only. Also, lambs fed ad lib excell significantly those lambs fed 3% in daily gain in weight, dressing percentage based on slaughter weight, and fat thickness. Lambs slaughtered at 44 kg had significantly higher dressing percentage, rib eye area and fat thickness.

A study was carried out to analyze a quantitative comparison of meat yield characteristics between Broiler and Indigenous chicken. In Indigenous chickens, Gramapriya, Gramasree and Broiler chickens Ross (308) and Vencobb (430) were utilized for study purposes. Chickens with Weights ranging from 1300g to 1500g were isolated to maintain uniformity in yield analysis. Slaughter and dressing were conducted per the Halal slaughtering method in commercial meat shops without significant variations. After dressing and evisceration protocols, dressing percentage, portioned cut parts yield details were evaluated and recorded. Statistical analysis was conducted using a randomized blocks design to analyze significant differences between different Indigenous and Broiler chickens strains used in the present study. Our investigations were evaluated through an analysis of variance and revealed a significant difference (P<0.05) between indigenous and Broiler chickens in dressing percentage, boneless breast, skinless thigh, skinless drumsticks, and wings. Thus it can be concluded that momentous efforts were in demand to improve the genetic diversity of Indigenous chickens to raise dressing percentage and meat bone percentage contribution to the upliftment of the economy of rural farms that are involved in backyard poultry farming.

In order to verify the effect of the new fully biodegradable external dressing on the repair of diabetes skin wounds and the promotion of wound healing, this study applied sodium alginate hydrogel dressing products which are supplemented with phage and conotoxin analgesic peptides to the skin lesions of diabetes mice, and comprehensively used the quantitative measurement of serological indicators, Image J Tissue section and other techniques to evaluate the effect of the new hydrogel dressing on the repair of diabetes wounds and the promotion of wound healing. The behavioral observation and analysis of mice did not show obvious regularity and difference. According to the results of serum cytokine analysis, functional hydrogel dressings can promote cell regeneration and wound healing in mice. Image J software analysis showed that the healing results of the experimental group were better than those of the negative control group, and the percentage of collagen fiber content showed an upward trend. Through comprehensive evaluation, it can be observed that the new fully biodegradable external dressing has obvious positive effects on wound healing, collagen fiber reconstruction and wound infection prevention of diabetes. The new biodegradable dressing not only promotes wound healing but also solves environmental pollution problems. It meets the sustainable development needs of society and has broad application prospects.

This paper presents research results on the effect of protease on the dressing percentage of conventionally dressed carcass and body conformation in broiler chickens. Broiler diet was supplemented with 0.2% protease (group E-I) and 0.3% protease (group E-II), and protein content in the feed was reduced by 4% (E-I) and 6% (E-II) through a decrease in soybean meal content. Fast-growing Cobb 500 broilers were used for a 63-day fattening trial. Body conformation measurement included absolute carcass conformation measures (metatarsus length, keel length, breast depth, breast angle, thigh girth) and relative body conformation measures - conformation indices (body weight/metatarsus length, body weight/keel length, body weight/breast depth, body weight/thigh girth). Results showed a significant effect of sex on the dressing percentage of conventionally dressed carcass and all body conformation measures, whereas diet had a significant effect on the dressing percentage of conventionally dressed carcass and breast angle values.

Abstract The goal of this paper was to examine the slaughter characteristics of meat from Hybro G+ provenance broilers. Characteristics studied were dressing percentage, breast, leg (thigh and drumstick) and abdominal fat in chilled carcass, and percentage of meat, bones and skin in breast and leg. In this trial, one-day broilers of Hybro G+ provenance were raised under the same zoohygienic and ambient conditions that met the technological requirements for this provenance and were provided with feed and water ad libitum. After 42 days’ fattening, broilers were slaughtered and the resultant carcasses were air chilled. The average dressing percentage was 73.15%, and in carcasses, the average percentage of breast was 34.33%, leg was 27.91% and abdominal fat was 1.13%. The percentage in breast and leg of meat was 72.61% and 70.38%, of skin was 8.00% and 9.45% and of bones was 19.79% and 19.59%, respectively. The meat:bone ratio was 0.27 for breast and 0.28 for leg.

Background: Diabetic foot ulcer is estimated to affect 15% of all diabetic individuals during their lifetime. Management requires a multisystem approach. Various techniques have been tried to treat chronic ulcers, but none was proved to be ideal.Methods: This is a prospective randomised comparative study, where 56 patients with diabetic foot ulcers admitted in dept of surgery SSG hospital, Baroda, india were divided into two comparable groups. Of which 28 underwent topical phenytoin dressings, remaining 28 underwent Betadine dressing (5% w/v povidone – iodine solution). The variables were compared after 14 days based on rate of granulation tissue formation as percentage of ulcer surface area, wound culture-sensitivity and duration of hospital stay. Chi square test was used to compare the data at each of the assessment point in both groups. Results: In Phenytoin group, the mean rate of healthy granulation tissue formation was 60.71%, and mean hospital stay was 23.96 days with negative culture sensitivity was 54%. The Betadine group showed, the mean rate of granulation tissue formation was 11%, and mean hospital stay was 35 days with negative culture sensitivity was 18%.Conclusions: Topical phenytoin dressing considered as superior and cost effective in management of diabetic ulcers.

This study was conducted with the objective to evaluate carcass weight, meat yield and primal meat cuts of beef from Arado, Boran, Barka, Raya and nondescript cattle breeds slaughtered at export abattoirs in Ethiopia. Data was collected from Abergelle and Melgawendo export abattoirs in 2011. The result of the study revealed that the average live weight, warm carcass weight, cold carcass weight and warm dressing percentage of cattle slaughtered at the abattoirs studied were 241.41&plusmn;0.37 kg, 106.93&plusmn;0.21 kg, 101.19&plusmn;0.18 kg and 44.21&plusmn;0.05%, respectively. Live weight, carcass weight and dressing percentage were differ (P &lt; 0.001) between abattoirs, seasons and breeds of cattle slaughtered. Average meat yield and yield percentage of cattle slaughtered at Abergelle abattoir was 61.56&plusmn;0.94 kg and 67.81&plusmn;0.33%, respectively. Meat yield and weight of primal meat cuts were different (P &lt; 0.001) between breeds of cattle. Yield percentage was significantly (p &lt; 0.05) different between seasons. Retailed meat yield was significantly predicted (R2 = 88.1%) from slaughter weights, Topside (R2 = 77.86), Silverside (75.64), Knuckle (R2 = 70.13), Striploin (R2 = 70.73), Tenderloin (R2 = 61.33), Shank (R2 = 64.55) and Rumpcap (R2 = 64.48). From the study it was concluded that Boran cattle was better in dressing percentage compared to most cattle breeds in Africa while the dressing percentage and meat yield of Arado, Barka and Raya breeds were less than the percent and yield reported for other zebu cattle in Africa. A strategy should be devised to improve the carcass weight, dressing percentage and retail able meat yield from local cattle in Ethiopia.

Full textAbstract:
SUMMARY The effects of 3 occlusive dressing materials and a standard, nonadherent dressing material on healing of full-thickness skin defects were evaluated in dogs. Two wounds measuring 2 × 2 cm were created bilaterally (4 wounds/dog) on the dorsolateral aspect of the trunk of 12 Beagles. Wound treatments were evenly distributed between 4 sites, using a Latin square design. Treatments evaluated were: equine amnion (group A), biosynthetic hydrogel dressing (group B), transparent polyethylene sheeting (group T), and a semiocclusive rayon/polyethylene, nonadherent dressing (group C). Rates of contraction and epithelialization of group-A wounds were significantly greater than those of wounds of groups C, B, and T. On days 14, 21, and 28, mean percentage of wound contraction and mean percentage of total wound healed in group A exceeded those wounds in groups C, B, and T. On day 28, wounds in group A were significantly smaller than wounds in groups B and T, but were not significantly smaller than wounds in group C. All wounds in group A achieved 100% healing during the 28-day study period. Mean time for complete healing of group-A wounds was 21 days. The percentages of wounds completely healed by day 28 for groups B, C, and T were 25, 67, and 25%, respectively. Results indicate that use of equine amnion as an occlusive biological dressing on full-thickness wounds in dogs increases rate of healing.

Full textAbstract:
The effects of weaning age and sex on growth, the carcass fatness and dressing percentage were studied in grazing Dorset x (Border Leicester x Merino) lambs. Entire male (ram and cryptorchid) lambs grew significantly (P<0.001) faster from marking to slaughter than did either wethers or ewes. They were also leaner than wethers, which were in turn leaner than ewes (mean � s.e. GR tissue depth: 11.4 � 0.16, 13.9 � 0.22 and 16.3 � 0.23 mm, respectively, at a carcass weight of 19.7 kg). Across all sex groups, the GR measurement increased 1.2 � 0.03 mm per kg increase in carcass weight. An earlier weaning (at 13-15 weeks of age) reduced (P<0.001) liveweight gains. There was also a small reduction (P<0.05) in the GR measurement associated with the earlier weaning, particularly in ewe and wether lambs. The dressing percentage of wethers increased with increasing liveweight over the entire range of weights. However, in ewes and entire males, there was little change in dressing percentage with increasing liveweight above 40 kg. An earlier weaning was associated with a small reduction in dressing percentage.

This study analyses the effect of different protein levels in broiler feeds (supplemented with protease) and different lengths of fattening period on some parameters related to dressed carcass quality. Medium-growing Master Gris broiler chickens were used in a fattening trial lasting 63 days. At slaughter, dressing percentages and abdominal fat percentages were determined based on traditionally dressed carcass weights and abdominal fat weights of broilers at 49 and 63 days, and conformation indices were calculated based on absolute conformation measurements. Results showed that dietary treatment had an effect only on one relative conformation measurement - body weight/shank length in chickens at 49 days, as control broilers had higher values of this index compared to chickens receiving feeds containing reduced levels of crude protein and protease supplementation (0.2% or 0.3%). Length of fattening period affected almost all studied parameters, except breast angle, dressing percentage of traditionally dressed carcass and abdominal fat percentage.

In recent years, polymeric hydrogels are widespread in the field of biological materials such as wound dressing and wound care. In this work, we report for the first time the preparation and application of pHEMA nanocomposite hydrogels containing iron oxide nanoparticles as wound dressings. For this purpose, nanocomposite hydrogels based on poly (hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) and various amounts of 5, 10, and 15 wt% iron oxide nanoparticles were successfully prepared via radical polymerization. The structure and morphology of nanocomposite hydrogels were determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), respectively. The results of gel fraction and the degree of swelling of hydrogels demonstrated that the gel percentage of pHEMA increased, and the degree of swelling decreased with increasing the percentage of nanoparticles. The WVRT and the porosity of hydrogels decreased by increasing the quantity of nanoparticles and were suitable for wound dressing applications. The effect of iron oxide nanoparticles on the mechanical properties of nanocomposite hydrogels was also studied using compression test and hardness shore A durometer. The results indicated that the compression strength, modulus, strain, and hardness are steadily increasing compared to pure hydrogel by adding nanoparticles. The maximum increase was obtained for a hydrogel sample with 15 wt% iron oxide nanoparticles. Antibacterial properties and biocompatibility were determined by the disk-diffusion and MTT assay methods, respectively. Based on the results, nanocomposite hydrogels exhibited higher percentages of cell survival and better antibacterial properties compared to pure pHEMA.

Full textAbstract:
In an effort to produce ideal wound dressing, gellan gum/collagen hydrogel films containing different concentrations of gatifloxacin were prepared via evaporative casting method. The films were examined in terms of physical appearances, water uptake and water vapour transmission rate (WVTR). All the films showed good physical appearances. Swelling percentages of the films were decreased, whereas WVTR values were increased as the addition of gatifloxacin was increased. Swelling percentage of gellan gum/collagen film with the lowest percentage of gatifloxacin (GG/C-GAT01) has the highest swelling ratio (2057%). Meanwhile, the WVTR value of GG/C-GAT1 has the highest WVTR value among all films which is 1245 g m-2 day-1. The formulation of GG/C films with the addition of gatifloxacin with good water absorbance and acceptable WVTRs value offered promising materials to be applied as wound dressing materials.

Full textAbstract:
Data for slaughter and carcass weights of 1350 Najdi, Awassi, Barbary, Turkish, and Merino cross ram lambs were collected at Bureidah abbatoir, Central Saudi Arabia. Within age groups, Awassi and Turkish lambs had the heaviest mean slaughter and carcass weights, followed by Merinos, Najdi and then Barbary. Pooled breed averages for slaughter and carcass weights increased with age. The dressing-out percentage ranged from 54.8 to 56.8%, but differences between most of the breed-age groups were not significant. The percentages of lambs slaughtered at different ages varied according to breed. Mean slaughter weights varied from month to month, both within and between breeds. Carcass weight was not affected by month of slaughter. Regressions of carcass weight on liveweight indicated significant differences between breeds and were used to develop equations for predicting carcass weight and dressing-out percentage.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background and Purpose. Ultrasound is often recommended in the treatment of people with partial and full-thickness wounds. Many treatments are performed over a hydrogel sheet or semipermeable film dressing. The purpose of this in vitro study was to examine the effectiveness of 4 hydrogels (Nu-Gel, ClearSite, Aquasorb Border, and CarraDres) and 4 film dressings (CarraSmart Film, J&J Bioclusive, Tegaderm, and Opsite Flexigrid) in ultrasound transmission. Methods. The amount of sound energy transmitted through each product and interposed pig tissue was measured using an oscilloscope to display the intensity of sound energy delivered by the transducer. Five intensities at a frequency of 3.3 MHz were studied. Results. Results were expressed as the mean (±SD) percentage of voltage transmitted compared with a gel baseline. Nu-Gel was the most efficient hydrogel (77.2%±4.6%), followed by ClearSite (72.0%±2.2%), Aquasorb Border (45.3%±2.1%), and CarraDres (42.8%±5.9%). The 4 film dressings, in order of efficiency, were CarraSmart Film (60.5%±4.4%), J&J Bioclusive (53.2%±2.4%), Tegaderm (47.1%±2.3%), and Opsite Flexi-grid (31.5%±4.0%). Conclusion and Discussion. Transmissivity of wound care products used to deliver acoustic energy during ultrasound treatment of wounds varies greatly among dressing products. We believe that clinicians can use our findings as a part of the clinical reasoning process that they use to select an optimal wound dressing.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Diabetic foot ulcer is a very common condition encountered in surgical practise. Wound management pose a good challenge for a treating surgeon due to its physical, mental and social implications. The devitalised necrotic tissue present in ulcer does not favour the wound healing as it increases the chance of infection and delays appearance of granulation tissue. Hence debriding of devitalised tissue plays a key role in wound care. In present study ,we used papain urea based preparation in dressings which is a autolytic agent. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of use of papain urea based preparations compared with regular conventional dressing in diabetic foot ulcer management.Methods: This was a prospective study conducted in K. R. Hospital, Mysore, Karnataka, India. 60 eligible subjects with diabetic foot ulcers were selected and subjects were randomly allocated into two groups Group A and Group B with 30 subjects in each group. Subjects in Group A underwent dressing with papain urea based preparation and in Group B underwent regular conventional dressing. Results were assessed with respect to percentage decrease in necrotic tissue, incidence of infection, appearance of granulation and hospital stay.Results: Among Group A subjects percentage reduction of necrotic tissue was more, granulation appeared early and the hospital stay was less compared to Group B subjects which were statistically significant. However, there was no significant difference with respect to incidence of infection in both groups.Conclusions: Papain urea based preparation is effective in diabetic foot ulcer care.

The present investigation was conducted to evaluate the effects of probiotics supplementation on giblet weight and dressing percentage of caged broilers. A total of 96, day-old chicks were randomly divided into four groups (T0, T1, T2, and T3) with 8 replicates i.e., 24 chicks in each group. The control (untreated) group was fed the basal diet, T1 was supplemented with Bacillus coagulans @40ppm along with basal diet, T2 was given Bacillus subtilis @50ppm mixed in basal diet whereas T3 was given basal diet + Bacillus licheniformis & Bacillus coagulans @20ppm. After 35 days of the trial period, weighing of the giblet and dressing percentage of four at random selected birds from each group were calculated. The mean value of liver weight recorded T0-46.420g, T1- 42.352g, T2-45.275g, and T3-40.521g, respectively. However, the analysis revealed that the variations in these values were not statistically significant. The mean value of Heart weight recorded was T0-14.445g, T1- 9.557g, T2-10.999g, and T3-12.940g, respectively. However, the investigation unveiled that the discrepancies in these values exhibited statistical significance (P<0.05). The mean value of Gizzard weight recorded was T0-24.017g, T1-25.327g, T2-28.088g, and T3-31.040g, respectively. However, the analysis revealed that the variations in these values were not statistically significant. The mean value of dressing percentage weight recorded was T0-58.38 %, T1-57.57 %, T2-58.64 %, and T3-59.06 % respectively which were not statistically significant.

Full textAbstract:
The study investigated the malaise of indecent dressing that has pervaded the Nigerian university campuses. One research question and a hypothesis were raised to give direction to the study. The instrument used was a questionnaire entitled “Indecent Dressing in the University Questionnaire (IDUQ)”. IDUQ was administered to 300 students randomly selected from six universities in the North Central Geopolitical Zone of Nigeria. The data collected were analysed with frequency counts, percentages and One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results of the analysis showed that a high percentage of the respondents agreed that most of the forms of indecent dressing listed in the questionnaire were common among university students. The result further revealed that there was a significant difference in the modes of dressing of students in private, state and federal government owned universities, in various forms. The pair wise comparison showed that the difference exists between federal and private universities; state and private universities whereas there was no difference between federal and state universities. Based on the findings, it was recommended, among other things, that university authorities should take decisive steps in curbing this social malaise (indecent dressing) by introducing dress codes for students and strictly enforcing it.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a group of heterogeneous disorders that have indications in the form of increased content of high blood sugar levels. WHO also confirmed DM to be the 7th trigger of death. IDF (International Diabet Federation) data estimates from survey results after North America in 2017 the 3rd place was occupied by Southeast Asia and people with diabetes mellitus with a percentage of 8.5% at the age of 20-29 years in North Africa. One of the treatments for patients with diabetes mellitus can be wound care using Modern Dressing with the Moist Wound Healing method. Methods: The method used in this wound treatment is the Modern Dressing technique with the Moist Wound Healing method. This procedure can clinically grow tissue 30-50%, increase collagen synthesis by 50%, and the rate of re-epithelialization with moist conditions is 2-5 times faster and can reduce the amount of fluid from above the wound surface. Results: evaluation shows that Modern Dressing wound care with the Moist Wound Healing method is in fact able to maintain moist conditions in the wound, reduce inflammation in the wound so that it can improve and accelerate the healing process of diabetic ulcers. Conclusion: The results showed that the Modern Dressing technique with the Moist Wound Healing method was able to improve the healing process of diabetic ulcers. The results also showed that there were significant changes between modern and conventional dressings. The modern dressing group had a much better development than the conventional dressing. The application of the Moist Wound Healing method in patients with diabetic ulcers can provide a much faster wound recovery reaction.

Carcass dressing percentage (dressing percentage of two carcass sides) or slaughter dressing percentage is proportional share of carcass, that is carcass sides, in relation to mass prior to slaughtering. Beef carcass consists of two carcass sides, regardless of the sex, on which, after bleeding, skin, head, lower leg parts (in carpal and tarsal joints), internal organs of the pectoral, abdominal and pelvic cavities, sexual organs, kidney and pelvic fat, diaphragm, tail and spinal cord were separated. In order to investigate factors significant for results related to slaughter dressing percentage, experiment with two trial groups of approximately same mass prior to slaughtering was carried out. First trial group consisted of young cattle of Domestic Simmental breed (DS, n=7) average mass of 592,7 kg, and the second group consisted of crossbreds of Domestic Simmental breed and Limousine (DSL, n-7) average mass of 589,9 kg. Mass of warm carcass sides with and without kidney fat, mass of internal organs (kidneys, liver, lungs, heart and spleen), mass of head, tongue, tail, skin and muscle cuts from diaphragm were measured. Based on obtained results it was established that male young cattle - crossbreds of Domestic Simmental breed and Limousine breed achieved better dressing percentage by 4,55% compared to young cattle of Domestic Simmental breed. In case of young cattle of Domestic Simmental breed, proportional share of skin mass was higher by 1,6% compared to crossbreds. Also mass of muscle cuts obtained from diaphragm was higher by 0,09% in case of Domestic Simmental cattle. For remaining investigated anatomical parts no significant differences were determined. Total mass of internal organs of young cattle of Domestic Simmental breed was higher by 0,36% compared to internal organs of crossbreds of Domestic Simmental and Limousine breed. The mass of spleen of young Domestic Simmental cattle was by 0,23% higher in relation to crossbred cattle.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, canonical correlation analysis was applied to estimate the relationship between body measurements and carcass traits of 28 male cross bred rabbits of about 12 weeks of age, reared under semi intensive system. Four body measurements, pre-slaughter weight (PSW) , body length (BL), chest circumference (CC), and ear length (EL) as predictor variable while dressing percentage ( DP) , hot carcass weight (HCW) and cold carcass weight (CCW) as criterion variables. Pre-slaughter weight and body length had significant (P<0.001) simple correlation coefficients with the carcass traits except for dressing percentage. The three canonical variate pairs ranged between .99 to .42 and only the first pair was significant (P<0.001). From the analysis pre-slaughter weight and body length can be regarded as the main factors as live measurement traits, while dressing percentage did not have pronounced effect on the emerged criterion variables.

The morphometrical analysis of muscles of different body regions and carcass characteristics of adult wethers (castrated black Bengal goat) were studied. This experiment was conducted in the Department of Anatomy and Histology during the period from February to May 2005. Muscles of different body regions of wether were found to differ in length, breadth and thickness. Highest length (38.7 ± 0.7 cm) was recorded in rectus abdominis and followed by brachiocephalicus (38.5 ± 0.1 cm), sternomandibularis (30.5 ± 0.9 cm), sternohyoideus (29.7 ± 0.2 cm) and sternathyroideus (29 ± 1.5 cm) muscles. The abdominal muscles, especially the transversus abdominis muscle possessed highest breadth (13.7 ± 0.9 cm) were wider than the other muscles of the body. The craniolateral muscles of thigh had the highest thickness in comparison to other muscles of the body. Carcass characteristics regarding hot carcass weight, dressing percentage and percentage of lean, fat and bone were studied. Dressing percentage, lean, fat and bone percentages were 59.34 ± 0.5, 60.91 ± 1.03, 14.78 ± 1.13 and 24.30 ± 0.2 respectively. This study revealed that the length, breadth and thickness of muscles varied between the different groups of muscles, and also in the same group of muscles of the body and castrated Black Bengal goat had the lean percentage similar to the other breeds of world but a little higher bone percentage and lower fat percentage than the other breeds of the world.

Abstract This research was conducted to study the effects of cat whiskers leave juice (Orthosiphon stamineus Benth) (OLJ) on the dressing percentage, giblet, and abdominal fat of broiler chicken. The research used 100 chicks which were reared for five weeks. At the end of the fifth week, 40 chickens were slaughtered as samples. The diets consisted of a commercial ration with 2900 kcal.kg−1 metabolizable energy and 22% protein. The drinking water consisted of different levels of OLJ (0, 10, 20, 30 mL/L). A Completely Randomized Design was used in this research with 4 treatments and 5 replications. Dressing percentage, liver, heart, gizzard, and abdominal fat were observed. The data were analysed by Analysis of variance/ANOVA. The result showed that OLJ significantly (P<0.01) affected live bird’s weight, but not significantly different (P>0.05) for dressing percentage, giblet, and abdominal fat of broiler chicken. On broiler chicken, administration of 10 mL/L OLJ significantly (P<0.01) decreased the live bird’s weight compared to control (0 mL/L OLJ). However, drinking 20 mL/L and 30mL/L cat whiskers juice were not significantly different. The conclusion is that the broiler chicken could tolerate up to 30 mL/L cat whiskers leaves juice.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Introduction Autologous Skin Cell Suspension (ACSC) application has been shown to facilitate closure and epithelization of deep partial and partial thickness burn and trauma wounds. Optimal dressing over ACSC has not been well established. Options have included nonabsorbent, non-adherent dressings and silver-impregnated antimicrobial dressings. A temporary biosynthetic wound matrix (BWM) consisting of a bilayer of a thin outer silicone and an inner layer of nylon coated with collagen and aloe vera has not been traditionally used or evaluated for efficacy over ASCS. BWM has several notable benefits: 1) it is transparent allowing for wound assessment during healing; 2) it quickly adheres to a wound and only requires a single application; 3) it can be applied with different tensions to control the porosity and overall moisture management. Methods Patients were selected after usual burn and wound preparation and optimized for ASCS application including debridement and removal of burn eschar with application of cadaver allograft. Surveillance cultures were obtained and treated if indicated. Once the wound bed was deemed ready for ASCS, patients were selected for ACSC with BWM, ACSC + split thickness skin graft (STSG) with BWM, and if both extremities were available, an alternate dressing was applied and treated in usual post grafting protocol. BWM care post application included dry gauze vs diluted bleach ringout with daily dressing changes. Time of removal of BWM was included. Post-surgical imaging was obtained and a blinded burn surgeon evaluated images and scored as an equal, superior or inferior outcome based on graft outcome appearance. Burns included deep partial second-degree, and third-degree burns. Results Patients showed no inferiority with BWM compared to any laterally contrasted dressing. Patients treated with ACSC and BWM alone showed high percentage of healing and graft take. Burns treated with BWM showed decrease inflammation with no signs of hypertrophy. This was more apparent in third degree burns treated with ACSC and STSG with BWM. Patient subjectively scored less pain and better cosmetic outcome with BWM dressings. Long-term follow up is being conducted to determine if outcomes remain beneficial compared to contrast dressings. Conclusions BWM was not inferior to any contrasting dressing and has potential benefits. Limitations include low number treated which is inherent to a limited case series. Long term follow up is ongoing, but results are favorable. Applicability of Research to Practice This data provides evidence for best treatment algorithm when choosing dressings for ASCS-treated burns. Funding for the Study N/A

Abstract Introduction In both partial thickness burns and skin graft donor sites, coverage with Polylactide-based copolymer dressing (PLBC dressing) has been shown to result in expedited healing and improved pain outcomes when compared to more traditional techniques. These advantages are generally attributed to the way in which PLBC remains as an intact coating over the wound bed throughout the healing process, protecting wounds from the contamination and microtraumas associated with changes more conventional dressings. At our institution, we began selectively utilizing PLBC as a means of securing and protecting fresh skin graft, in hopes that we would find similar benefits in this application. Methods Clinical Protocol-- The PLBC dressing was used at the attending surgeon’s discretion. In these cases, meshed STSG was placed over prepared wound beds. Staples were not utilized. PLBC dressing was then placed over the entirety of the graft surface, securing graft in place by adhering to wound bed through intercises. (Staples were not used.) The graft and PLBC complex was further dressed with a layer of non-adherent cellulose based liner with petroleum based lubricant, and an outer layer of cotton gauze placed as a wrap or bolster. Post operatively, the outer layer (“wrap”) of gauze was replaced as needed for saturation. The PLBC and adherent “inner” liner were left in place until falling off naturally over the course of outpatient follow-up. Retrospective Review-- With IRB approval, patients treated PLBC over STSG between April 2018 to March 2019 were identified via surgeon’s log and pulled for review. Documentation gathered from operative notes, progress notes (inpatient and outpatient) and clinical photography was used to identify demographics, mechanism of injury, depth, total body surface area percentage (TBSA%), size of area treated with PLBC dressing, graft loss, need for re-grafting, signs of wound infection, antibiotic treatment, and length of stay. Results Twenty-two patients had STSG secured and dressed with PLBC. Median patient age was 36.5 years. Median TBSA was 5.1%, and median treated area 375 cm2. Follow up ranged from 21 to 232 days post-operatively, with two patients lost to follow up. All patients seen in outpatient follow up were noted to have “complete graft take” or “minimal” graft. None of the areas treated with PLBC dressing required re-grafting. There were no unplanned readmissions, and no wound infections were diagnosed or treated. Practitioners in in-patient setting and in follow up clinic reported satisfaction with the PLBC dressing. Conclusions The PLBC dressing was a feasible solution for securing and dressings STSGs. Future work is needed to determine whether its use is associated with an improvement in patient outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the effects of oil quality and trace mineral source on the growth performance, antioxidant activity, and meat quality of growing–finishing pigs. A total of 180 crossbred pigs (Duroc × Landrace × Large White [64.4 ± 1.95]) were randomly allocated five dietary treatments based on body weight (BW) and sex in a 30 d trial. Pigs were fed five diets: (i) fresh soy oil + inorganic trace minerals (ITMs) + inorganic selenium (FISI), (ii) oxidized soy oil + ITMs + inorganic selenium (OISI), (iii) fresh soy oil + ITMs + selenium yeast (FISY), (iv) oxidized soy oil + ITMs + selenium yeast (OISY), and (v) oxidized soy oil + organic trace minerals (OTMs) + selenium yeast (OOSY). Each dietary treatment included six replicates and six pigs per replicate (three barrows and three gilts). Feeding OISI resulted in lower average daily gain (ADG) and dressing percentage (p < 0.05). The OOSY group had a higher dressing percentage and activities of serum CAT and GSH-Px in growing–finishing pigs (p < 0.05). In addition, the relative abundance of Campylobacterota in the colonic digesta varied with the quality of soy oil and source of trace minerals (p < 0.05), but no significant differences in short-chain fatty acid concentrations were observed among all dietary groups. In conclusion, adding oxidized soy oil to the diet negatively impacted the ADG and dressing percentage of growing–finishing pigs, and replacing ITMs with OTMs and SY alleviated these negative impacts. A combination of OTMs and SY can support antioxidant capacity to mitigate the negative impacts of oxidized oil on the growth performance and dressing percentage of growing–finishing pigs.
