Definitive laceration management depends. on the time since injury, the extent and loca-. tion of the wound, available laceration repair. materials, and the skill of the physician. Guidelines for seeking surgical consultation. for laceration repair are presented in Table 1. The optimal time interval from injury to. laceration repair is not clearly defined. Ana-. tomic location of the wound, health of the. patient, mechanism of injury, and wound.
This gene on chromosome 2 codes for the enzyme lactase. This enzyme enables infants to break down lactose, the main sugar in milk. In people who are lactose tolerant, the gene remains active throughout their lives.In most people who are lactose intolerant, the gene is turned off after infancy, making the digestion of dairy products difficult and painful.his enzyme enables infants to break down lactose, the main sugar in milk.

Mutations of the LCT gene result in congenital lactase deficiency and are an autosomal recessive inheritance, thus requiring one mutated gene from each parent. This is a rare form of lactose intolerance that begins at birth and severely inhibits a baby's ability to digest milk or milk-based formulas.actose intolerance is the decreased ability to digest lactose, a type of sugar found in the milk of mammals such as cows and goats as well as in human breast milk. It is also an ingredient in other dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, yoghurt, ice cream, and butter.
