Background: Insulin being a growth factor was proved to stimulate angiogenesis, collagen formation, matrix formation and granulation tissue proliferation in several preclinical studies. The objective was to study effectiveness of topical insulin on healing of diabetic ulcers at tertiary health care centre.Methods: This was a cross sectional study carried out in the Department of surgery of a tertiary health care centre during August 2018 to August 2019 so during this period there were 60 patients. Group A was given topical insulin application. Group B was given saline application. The statistical analysis was done by using SPSS 24.0 version and un-paired t-test and chi-square tests are applied as test of significance.Results: Average time required for granulation tissue to appear (mean±SD) was significantly less in group A as compared to Group B (p<0.001, df=58, t=5.87); Average surface area of wound (mm2) at day 6th day was significantly less in group A (p<0.05, df=58,t=3.98); average depth of the wounds (mm) at day 6th day was significantly less in Group A as compared to in Group B (p<0.001, df=58, t=4.92).Conclusions: The topical application of insulin is significantly associated with fastening of wound healing in the diabetic ulcer.

Knowledge Attitudes And Practices

In pediatric patients, the antibiotic use is affected by parental beliefs and practices; especially in countries where it is possible to acquire them without prescription. This study aims to describe the knowledge, attitudes, and practices on antibiotic use among parents of children from urban and peri-urban health care centers in Lima. A cross-sectional study was performed at 1 urban and 2 peri-urban health care centers selected in Lima, Perú. Parents of children below the age of 3 years answered a knowledge-attitudes-practices-validated questionnaire about antibiotic use and were categorized as high, moderate, and low knowledge regarding antibiotics. We analyzed potential determinants for low knowledge and having medicated their children with unprescribed antibiotics using bivariate and multivariate analyses. A total of 224 parents were enrolled, and 8% were categorized as low knowledge. Half of the parents could not recognize that antibiotics cannot cure viral infections, 59.4% disagreed with “antibiotics speed up recovery from a cold,” and 53.2% stored antibiotics at home. Remarkably 23.5% of parents reported having medicated their children with antibiotics without prescription, which was associated with belonging to the peri-urban health care center, use of antibiotics by their children in the last 12 months, and having purchased antibiotics without physicians’ prescription. An alarming overuse of antibiotics without prescription was described among children below the age of 3 years. Educational interventions, addressing parental attitudes and practices, and health policies should be developed to limit inappropriate antibiotic use especially in peri-urban communities.
