Curing Methods

Curing Methods

Concrete members with a small surface-to-volume ratio are cured by oiling and moistening the forms before casting the concrete member. These forms can be left in place for a prolonged period to prevent moisture loss, and can be wetted if made of a material suitable for wetting. If the forms are removed early, the concrete member is moistened and covered with polythene sheets to maintain moisture. For large horizontal concrete surfaces exposed to dry weather, a temporary covering is suspended...

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Dermatology
Pharmacology

Background:

Postsurgical contractures can impair function and aesthetics.
Minimally invasive treatments are sought to avoid extensive surgical revision.
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an antimetabolite with antifibrotic properties.

Observation:

A 53-year-old female patient developed postsurgical contracture.
The patient was treated with 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) injections.
Literature review on 5-FU for contracture treatment was conducted.

Findings:

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) injections effectively treated the postsurgical contracture.
The literature supports 5-FU injections as a viable minimally invasive option.
This treatment modality demonstrated minimal risk to the patient.

Implications:

5-FU injections represent a preferred, minimally invasive treatment for contractures.
This approach offers a favorable risk-benefit profile for patients.
Further research may explore optimal 5-FU dosing and application techniques for various contractures.
