Lipids in amniotic membranes

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1965
Abstract 1. 1. Total lipids, phospholipids, esterified fatty acids (EFA), and cholesterol were studied in 167 amniotic membranes. These membranes were taken from 60 women of European origin, 63 women of Oriental origin, and 44 women of Yemenite origin. Venous blood was also studied for total lipids in these three groups of women. 2. 2.

Human Amniotic Membranes for Burns

The American Journal of Nursing, 1975
Wound closure is the primary focus in caring for burned patients. Ultimately, this is achieved when the partial-thickness burn re-epithelializes or when split-thickness skin grafts are applied to the full-thickness burn. Until these goals are achieved, a temporary covering must be found to protect the integrity of granulating tissue and preserve a ...
