Development Of Poly-Vinyl Alcohol (Pva) And Moringa Oleifera-Based Nanofibre Patches For Wound Healing Using An Indigenous Electrospinning Setup, Suvarna Ghosh, Merla Sudha, Rakshith Prajwal R S, Sameer A Nadaf, Shreya R S, Pronama Biswas, Belaguppa Manjunath Ashwin Desai

Manipal Journal of Science and Technology

Wound healing is a crucial process that underlines the body’s ability to recover and restore damaged tissues. Conventional cotton-based dressings act as a physical barrier between the environment and open wound and are not actively involved in wound healing. This type of dressing can lead to maceration of scab, and infection and can cause pain upon removal. Functionalized nanofibre patches that can accelerate wound healing are being researched worldwide to overcome these challenges. Electrospinning has emerged as the most promising technique for engineering nanofibres for diverse applications. In this study, the wound-healing potential of PVA nanofibres functionalized with different concentrations …

Facial Skin Rejuvenation With Poly-L-Lactic Acid (Plla): Four Case Studies, Stanley Setiawan, Theressia Handayani, Stefani Luziani

Journal of General - Procedural Dermatology and Venereology Indonesia

Background: Facial aging is characterized by the decline and loss of skin structure. Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) is a biopolymer and biodegradable injection material that functions as a collagen stimulator. This active ingredient works by stimulating the formation of skin collagen after interacting with the PLLA crystal component. The expected final result is an increase in the skin volume with the thickening and increased density of the skin layers due to collagen remodeling. At present, data on the application of PLLA for facial photorejuvenation remains limited.

Case Illustration: Four patients aged 22-49 years old, with different severity of aging, underwent PLLA …

Journal of Bioresource Management

The present study was conducted to compare the performance and behavior of Fayoumi and Rhode Island Red poultry breeds. A total of forty-two birds at 26 weeks of age, with thirty-six females and six males from each breed, were distributed into 6 groups with one male and six females each. All the experimental groups were reared in separate partitions with provisions of nests, feeders, and drinkers under proper management conditions. The results of the current study revealed that Rhode Island Red chickens showed significantly higher (P < 0.05) body weight, egg weight, daily egg production, eggshell thickness, and other quality parameters compared to Fayoumi chickens. It was also noted that Rhode Island Red chickens consumed less feed and gained heavier bodies with higher egg production than Fayoumi chickens. There was a non-significant difference in feed intake between both breeds. Rhode Island Red chickens produced eggs with better shell quality and higher breaking strength compared to Fayoumi chickens. In conclusion, the Rhode Island Red chicken breed is better in terms of body weight, egg performance, and feed efficiency compared to Fayoumi chickens.
