Physical reparative treatment in reptiles

Abstract

BackgroundThe tissue growth necessary to achieve a complete or partial restitution ad integrum as a result of injury to soft tissue and/or hard times in reptiles is variable and often needs long time in relation to the species, to the habitat and to their intrinsic physiological characteristics. The purpose of this work was to see if the tissue optimization (TO) treatment with radio electric asymmetric conveyer (REAC) provided good results in these animals and whether its use translates into reduced time of tissue repair. This paper describes preliminary results with in promoting the tissue repair in reptiles. Cases presentationA 5 year old male Testudo graeca (Leo) and Trachemys scripta scripta (Mir) and a 15 year old female Testudo hermanni (Juta) were evaluated because of soft tissue injuries. A female 25 year old Trachemys scripta elegans (Ice), a female 2.5 year old Trachemys scripta scripta (Penelope) as well as a 50 year old male Testudo graeca (Margherito) were evaluated because of wounds of the carapace. Following debridement and traditional therapies, Leo, Penelope and Margherito were exposed to the radio electric asymmetric conveyer (REAC) device, with a specific treatment protocol, named tissue optimization-basic (TO-B). Also Ice and Mir were subjected to REAC treatment after wounds debridement. Juta was treated only with REAC treatment. Complete wound healing was evident after 17 days for Leo, 7 days for Penelope, 27 days for Mir, 78 days for Ice and after 14 days for Margherito. Juta showed a considerable tissue activation in 2 days and complete wound healing in 5 days. ConclusionOur findings suggest that REAC TO-B treatment may provide advantages over other traditional methods after complete wound healing in Leo, and also suitable healing in the other patients. Then REAC device with its specific treatment TO-B protocol, which induces tissue repair without causing severe stress to the patient, could be a potential therapy for tissue damage healing in reptiles. Further studies still need to be conducted to support our observations.

REAC technology and hyaluron synthase 2, an interesting network to slow down stem cell senescence

“…First of all, these are the most widely used and permitted at the international level. Secondly, based on our clinical and scientific experience, the 2.4 GHz frequency was chosen to better interact with tissues and cell cultures 17 25 26 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 , while the 5.8 GHz frequency was chosen to better interact with the nervous system. When functional modulation effects are needed, we use short duration treatments; when we want to induce developmental changes, this process of induction has to be accompanied every step of the way throughout its development.…”

Tecnologia REAC: Protocolos de Neuro e Biomodulação.

“…A biomodulação consiste em um conjunto de protocolos denominados Otimização Tecidual Base (TO-B), Otimização Tecidual Reparativa (TO-RPR), Otimização Tecidual Regenerativa (TO-RGN), Otimização Tecidual Neuro-Regenerativa (TO-RGN-N) e Otimização Tecidual Regenerativa Condral (TO-RGN-C), estes protocolos são aplicados por meio de uma sonda laminar, conectada por cabos multisonda diretamente ao equipamento, sobre uma área específica do corpo. 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 Estudos evidenciaram os efeitos da neuro e da biomodulação radioelétrica pela tecnologia REAC na redução de danos neuronal, com resultados positivos para o sistema nervoso, doenças neurológicas e neurodegenerativas 10 , bem como no tratamento de transtornos de ansiedade generalizada, 12 efeitos de proliferação, migração e organização celular e cicatrização, 9,11 expressão de genes cardiogênicos, miogênicos, adipogênicos, osteogênicos, vasculogênicos e neuronais, 2,7,13 modulação de resposta imune, 14,10…”

Management of severe head injury with brain exposure in three loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta

“…Topical dressings are routine ly used to manage reptile wounds by limiting opportunistic infections and facilitating the healing res ponse. Unfortunately, not all topical dressings are beneficial (Mitchell & Diaz-Figueroa 2004, Rinaldi et al 2013. To the authors' knowledge, no topical medications for head trauma with brain exposure are currently described in the literature for sea turtles.…”
