  2. Dapsone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dapsone

    Dapsone is the recommended treatment for erythema elevatum diutinum, as a review found that using oral dapsone alone was effective in 80% of early cases of the disease. However, dapsone can potentially cause severe side effects, meaning that sometimes steroids or other antibiotics should be used instead, although these alternative treatments ...

  3. Orthopedic cast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthopedic_cast

    Traction involves using a pulling force to align bones and reduce fractures, particularly in cases involving the spine, pelvis, or long bones. It can be achieved through a variety of mechanisms, including skin traction (using adhesive materials attached to the skin) or skeletal traction (which involves pins or wires placed directly into the bone).

  4. Zymography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zymography

    A common protocol used in the past for zymography of α-amylase activity was the so-called starch film protocol of W.W. Doane. Here a native PAGE gel was run to separate the proteins in a homogenate. Subsequently, a thin gel with starch dissolved (or more properly, suspended) in it was overlaid for a period of time on top of the original gel. [6]

  5. Bone healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_healing

    Age, bone type, drug therapy and pre-existing bone pathology are factors that affect healing. The role of bone healing is to produce new bone without a scar as seen in other tissues which would be a structural weakness or deformity. [2] The process of the entire regeneration of the bone can depend on the angle of dislocation or fracture.

  7. Silicone gel sheeting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_gel_sheeting

    The exact mechanism of action of silicone gel sheeting has not been fully studied. Currently, many proposed mechanisms explain the efficacy of such treatment, including the occlusion and hydration effect, increased body surface temperature, polarized electric charge, immunological effects, etc. [9] The occlusion and hydration effect is the most studied mechanism of action.

  8. Hangman's fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangman's_fracture

    The injury mainly occurs from falls, usually in elderly adults, and motor accidents mainly due to impacts of high force causing extension of the neck and great axial load onto the C2 vertebra. [2] In a study based in Norway, 60% of reported cervical fractures came from falls and 21% from motor-related accidents. [3]
