Effect of Local Application of Phenytoin on Wound Healing in Surgical Wounds: A Scientific Review
Abstract: Surgical wound healing is a dynamic biological process influenced by local tissue response, vascularity, infection control, and systemic patient factors. Delayed wound healing contributes significantly to postoperative morbidity and healthcare costs. Phenytoin, a hydantoin derivative traditionally used as an antiepileptic agent, has demonstrated unexpected wound-healing properties when applied topically. This review critically evaluates experimental and clinical evidence regarding the role of locally applied phenytoin in enhancing wound healing in surgical …

Recent Advancements in Nanobiocomposite-Based Wound Healing and Tissue Regeneration
Abstract: Haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, remodeling, and other highly coordinated cellular and molecular activities are all part of the complex biological processes of wound healing and tissue regeneration. Following an injury, these stages cooperate to restore tissue integrity and function. However, this normal process is disturbed in many clinical circumstances, especially chronic wounds such diabetic ulcers, burns, and pressure sores. Prolonged inflammation, chronic microbial infection, diminished angiogenesis, and impaired extracellular matrix production …

Role of Unani Formulation ‘Zaroor-E-Qawi’ in re-epithelialisation of the Chronic Wound: A Single Arm Prospective Clinical Study
Abstract: Background: Epithelialisation i.e. restoration of an intact epidermal layer is an essential criterion for wound healing. In fact, a wound which is not reepithelialised completely is not considered as healed one, no matter how perfectly the underlying dermal structures are restored. When the process of epithelialisation is compromised, impaired or delayed, it results in non-healing wound. Objectives: To assess the effect of the Unani formulation Zaroor-E-Qawi in the induction of …

Role of Dermabrasion Assisted Tangential Excision in Paediatric Electrical Burn Wounds
Abstract: Early removal of necrotic tissue in deep electrical burns by tangential excision decreases scarring and promotes wound healing. Dermabrasion, traditionally used in dermatology for facial resurfacing and scar treatment, has shown promising results when applied to burn wound management. In burn care, dermabrasion serves as a form of blunt debridement, effectively removing superficial necrotic tissue without damaging underlying healthy structures. This technique helps reduce local inflammation and lowers the likelihood …
