Sutures Cause Fewer Complications than Staples for C-Section Incisions -
In a prospective study presented at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine's annual meeting, researchers found that closing a c-section incision with sutures caused fewer complications than using staples.

Interestingly the wound complication rate in the suture group was 9.1%, compared to 21.8% in the staple group. In addition wound separation rate in the suture group was 4.6%, compared to 16.8% in the staple group.

Toilet Seat Dermatitis on the Rise -
If your child gets a rash on the backs of the thighs or sides of the buttocks would you think about your toilet seat as the culprit? In a new study published in the journal Pediatrics, investigators discovered the factors most likely to cause skin irritation from a toilet seat.

It appears using harsh chemicals to clean the toilet seat or having toilet seats made of exotic woods, especially if they are covered with varnish or paint, are to blame for causing skin irritation in children. This irritation is easily treated if diagnosed early, but bacteria can get into the skin if it's cracked and chafing, causing cellulitis.

Using Candy to Treat Resistant Infections -
A new study recently published showed that glycyrrhizin, a compound that comes from licorice root, Glycyrrhiza glabra, helped burned skin fight off infections. Glycyrrhizin works by helping the skin create proteins called antimicrobial peptides which attack the covering of the bacteria and poke holes in it.

Non-Functioning Checkpoint Gene May Cause Skin Cancer -
In a new study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, researchers describe the possibility that turning on a certain gene could prevent skin cancer.

One type of skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, starts on the top layer of the skin. Exposure to UV radiation can damage the DNA of a skin cell. A protein called protein kinase C (PKC) repairs the DNA damage and if there is too much damage, PKC tells the cell to die.

One part of cell division involves splitting DNA in half and copying the other side. There are checkpoints along the way where the cell repairs any damage to the DNA before going on. This study found that the PKC gene is responsible for stopping at these checkpoints, but in squamous cell carcinoma, the PKC gene is turned off.

New MRSA Treatment Based on Nanotechnology -
Scientists have developed a novel treatment for MRSA, a bacteria that causes abscesses and is resistant to the usual antibiotics. This treatment involves applying a cream that contains tiny nanoparticles carrying nitric oxide to the infection. When these nanoparticles released the nitric oxide, resistant infections in mice cleared up even without surgical drainage.
