Abstract

Background. Burns are one of the most common injuries in pediatric population, gram-positive bacteria is the main pathogens responsible for wound infection that is the leading cause of morbidity and sometimes mortality in growing children with burn. Low level laser is a new treatment option that is increasingly used in the field of wound healing. Aim. To investigate the effect of He-Ne laser on gram-positive bacteria and healing time of deep second-degree pediatric burn. Methods. Thirty children of both genders aged from 2 to 9 years old with 2nd degree upper limb burn infected with gram-positive bacteria participated in this study. They were randomly assigned into two equal groups; either the control group (group A) received systematic antibiotic and 10 minutes’ placebo laser light, or the laser group (group B) received 632 nm laser light, 6 J/cm2 scanning technique for 10 minutes. All patients received regular wound care (dressing). The study protocol was once a day, 3 times / week for one month. Pre and post-treatment evaluation of wound culture and the healing time was recorded for both groups. Results. Wound culture of all children in both groups were negative after two weeks of the study and wound healing time was significantly shorter in the laser group (14.6±5.7 days) than the control group (27±7.3 days). Conclusion. He-Ne laser is an effective option of treatment for 2nd-degree pediatric burn as it has a bactericidal effect on gram-positive bacteria and accelerates wound healing process significantly.

Abstract
Background. Obesity is a condition of abnormal accumulation of fat in adipose tissue. Central obesity has been firmly confirmed as a risk factor for increasing the incidence of coronary heart diseases, some skin disease, incisional hernia and more operational hemorrhage. Purpose. This study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-cavitation therapy versus Tripollar-radiofrequency on abdominal obesity in pre-abdominal surgical patients. Material and Methods. Thirty participants with visceral adiposity divided to two groups; Group (A) include fifteen patients received Ultrasound-cavitation therapy (40k-Hz) for 30 min. once/week plus aerobic exercises (walking on treadmill for 30 min. 3 times\week) plus low calorie diet program. Group (B) includes fifteen patients managed by Tripollar-radiofrequency (1 MHz) for 30 min. once/week in addition to aerobic exercises (walking on treadmill for 30 min. three times/week) plus low calorie diet program. All individuals in the two groups were evaluated by Waist circumference and skin fold thickness before and after the treatment. Results. Statistical analysis revealed that the skin fold thickness by skin caliper and the waist circumference by tape measurement have reduced at the end of treatment in the both groups but the higher reduction in WC & skin fold thickness were in the ultrasound-cavitation group compared to radiofrequency group Conclusion. Ultrasound cavitation is more effective than Tripolar radiofrequency in decreasing fat mass in abdominal obesity.
