Gentamicin Sulphate

Most infective organisms have developed resistance against antibiotics. There is need to find other means to deliver antibiotics locally. There appears to be limited studies on the use of gentamicin sulphate iontophoresis in wound management. The participant in this study was a subject diagnosed with mild head injury secondary to motor vehicle accident who later developed a unilateral pressure sore on the left gluteal region. The subject received 15-minutes of gentamicin sulphate iontophoresis (Interrupted Direct Current) three times a week for five weeks. The case report showed that there was a 65.7% reduction in wound surface area of the decubitus ulcer at the end of five weeks. Also, bacterial growth reduced from very heavy growth to scanty growth at the end of the 5th week. This report suggested that gentamicin sulphate ointment iontophoresis as adjunct with traditional saline-wet-to-moist (WM) wound dressing had an effect in healing the decubitus ulcer of the participant used in this study.

31-year-old man with quadriplegia after a motor vehicle accident now has a draining decubitus ulcer Axial FSE T1-weighted images (Figure 14.5.1) and fat-suppressed T2-weighted images (Figure 14.5.2) demonstrate a large soft tissue defect in the left lower buttock extending to the ischial tuberosity. The ischial tuberosity shows abnormally decreased T1-signal intensity and increased T2-signal intensity. Note also the abnormally increased signal intensity in the adjacent left obturator externus muscle....

Abstract This article is the third in a three-part series on whole-body breathing. The author proposes a process model, in which breath training, muscle relaxation, and lifestyle changes are customized as the therapist explores the patient's response to initial interventions. This process model is useful for many cases in medical practice, where clear and specific causes cannot be identified for symptoms and no clear treatment is known. The article provides a case history of a 38-year-old man who sustained whiplash injuries in a motor vehicle accident and subsequently developed cardiovascular problems (congestive cardiomyopathy). Subsequent cardiac rehabilitation proceeded poorly, but he responded positively when the whole-body breathing approach was added, with improved ejection fraction and improved tolerance for activity. This case study illustrates the process of adjusting interventions to the individual's condition.
