Silver Nitrate

09/01/2023 - "The precise origin and evidence-based practice of using silver nitrate for epistaxis is not well-established or understood. "
09/01/2023 - "Historical use of silver nitrate for the management of epistaxis - evidence-based practice?"
06/01/2019 - "Bilateral silver nitrate cauterisation is an effective method of treating recurrent epistaxis with low risk of complications."
06/01/2019 - "However, 8 (8/37, 21.6%) patients in the MWA group had recurrent epistaxis compared to 15 (15/41,36.6%) in the silver nitrate group at 12 months; this difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.12). "
06/01/2019 - "Two (2/48, 4.2%) patients in the MWA group had recurrent epistaxis compared to seventeen (17/43, 39.5%) in the silver nitrate group at 6 months; this difference was statistically significant (P = 0.01). "

01/01/2000 - "In corneas with silver nitrate burns, systemic cRGDfV treatment showed no significant reduction of vascularization compared with controls. "
01/01/2017 - "Robust angiogenesis was observed in silver nitrate-cauterized corneas on day 5 post injury, and markedly increased corneal opacification was demonstrated in alkaline burn-injured corneas on days 7 and 14 post injury. "
01/01/2016 - "Silver nitrate burn of the lower lip: a case report."
09/01/2009 - "The local application of silver nitrate through a flexible bronchoscopic brush produced a burn and healing process on the mucosa of small bronchopleural fistulae of the central airways, leading to effective and lasting treatment in most cases."
10/01/2006 - "The wound healing rate in silver nitrate group on 7 post-burn day ( PBD) was (77.9 +/- 20.5)%, which was obviously higher than that in SD-Ag group [(67.3 +/- 22.6) %, P < 0.01]. "

03/17/2021 - "trachomatis infection compared to silver nitrate."
12/01/2014 - "Two patients presented with intersphincteric incision infection which was successfully treated with topical of silver nitrate. "
12/01/1990 - "No graft infections were caused by resistant organisms or yeast in the silver nitrate group. "
04/01/1987 - "It was noted that 0.5 per cent silver nitrate incorporated into the membranes increased their manageability, provided easier application to the burned area and created a bactericidal effect, therefore reducing the risk of contamination and infection. "
03/30/1968 - "Mortality and infection in extensively burned patients treated with silver-nitrate compresses."

09/01/2005 - "Silver nitrate sticks have been used for a long time to provide pain relief for the duration of an aphthous ulceration, with only one application. "
09/12/2012 - "The pain scores were significantly less in those treated with 75% silver nitrate, the mean score being 1 compared to a mean score of 5 in those treated with 95% silver nitrate; this was statistically significant (P = 0.001).We carried out a 'Risk of bias' assessment of each study according to the Cochrane methodology and judged that two randomised controlled trials had a low risk of bias, two had an unclear risk of bias and the quasi-randomised controlled trial had a high risk of bias. "
09/01/2005 - "The results of our study showed that one application of silver nitrate can decrease the severity of pain in aphthous ulceration without significantly shortening or prolonging healing time. "
01/01/2012 - "Furthermore to reduce pain and distress associated with the application we used local anaesthetic prior to applying the silver nitrate."
09/01/2005 - "To study the effect of chemical cautery with silver nitrate in reducing pain of aphthous ulceration and to determine if this treatment shortens or prolongs healing. "

05/01/1992 - "Because silver nitrate was found more effective in decreasing the total frequency of all cases of ophthalmia neonatorum, and cases caused by Chlamydia and gram-negative bacteria specifically, this drug still should be considered as a primary prophylactic agent against ophthalmia neonatorum."
01/01/2023 - "Much has changed since Credé reported that silver nitrate decreases the incidence of ophthalmia neonatorum. "
01/01/1993 - "The introduction of silver nitrate for prophylaxis of gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum is one of the milestones of preventive medicine. "
10/01/1988 - "Although silver nitrate is still considered to be one of the most effective prophylactic measures for gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum, in 4 cases this disease still developed. "
11/01/1987 - "Silver nitrate prophylaxis against ophthalmia neonatorum due to Neissera Gonorrhoeae was introduced by Crédé in 1884, when he instilled a drop of 2% silver nitrate into the cul-de-sac of a newborn. "
