Local Tissue Injury In bite wounds, shearing, tensile, and compressive forces often combine to damage tissues. Little energy is transmitted to the wounded tissues in a simple shearing injury, and tissue devitalization is often minimal. Tensile forces result in avulsion of the skin from underlying tissue. Avulsion of muscles can also occur in the deeper tissue layers, resulting in hernias and mu...

Recently, a lnorthern red oak tree was found on the Bent Creek Experimental Forest, Buncombe County, North Carolina, with an unusual and interesting group of aerial roots originating from the callused area surrounding an old wound. This tree, shown in the accompanying photograph, is about 100 feet high, has approximately 3 log lengths and is 33.5 inches in diameter at 4.5 feet above the ground....

abstract   background: wound infection is a frequent and severe complication in burn patients accounting for a high number of mortalities. there are some reports comparing swab and biopsy cultures of wounds of various etiologies or chronic wounds.   objectives: the aim of the study was to evaluate burn wound infection by different bacteriologic methods of surface swab and tissue biopsy culture ...

Reconstructing scalp defects can be challenging for a plastic surgeon. For this purpose, different procedures such as primary repair and coverage with skin grafts or flaps can be considered. Sometimes, the external table of the skull can be removed completely to the diploic space. At the same time or after the formation of granulation tissue, the diploic space can be covered with split-thicknes...

AIM To evaluate wound healing activity of cow urine ark in diabetic rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into six groups (n = 6). Three groups - diabetic control, active control (glibenclamide), and treatment (cow urine ark) were operated for excision wounds (EWs). Rats in these groups received distilled water 1 ml/day, glibencla...

BACKGROUND "Low dead space" syringes with permanently attached needles retain less fluid, blood, and HIV after use than standard "high dead space" syringes. This reduces the probability of HIV transmission if they are shared by people who inject drugs (PWID). The World Health Organization recently recommended that needle and syringe programs (NSP) offer clients low dead space syringes. The succ...

Hamir Bhucti, a Hindu cultivator, aged 20, on the 17th March 1884 received a blow on the head with a sharp weapon whilst endeavouring to separate two men who were quarrelling. H e was admitted to the Dispensary soon after the injury and was found to have a small incised wound over the right parietal eminence which led down to the bone, which latter showed a small hair-like fissure, Is conscious...

BACKGROUND Patients with chronic heart failure have an excessive ventilatory response to exercise, characterised by an increase in the slope of the relation between ventilation and carbon dioxide production (VE/VCO2 slope). Patients have an altered respiratory pattern with an increased respiratory rate (f) at a given tidal volume (VT), which may result in increased anatomical dead space ventila...
