Because the goal of military medicine is salvaging the wounded who can return to duty, military medical ethics cannot easily defend devoting scarce resources to those so badly injured that they cannot return to duty. Instead, arguments turn to morale and political obligation to justify care for the seriously wounded. Neither argument is satisfactory. Care for the wounded is not necessary to mai...

The article presents data on blood transfusions at diff erent stages of medical evacuation army and front-line areas during the Great Patriotic War. It is emphasized that in system treatment wounded last war, great importance was placed early transfusion therapy, banked blood, its components preparations, as well substitutes. experience War testifi es to huge role wounded.

 Abstract Background: Mustard gas, lethal in high doses, affects multiple organs such as skin, eye and respiratory system. We studied the development of late onset mustardinduced polyneuropathy among chemically wounded Iranian veterans. Methods: In this descriptive study, 100 chemically wounded Iranian veterans with severe eye involvement were examined for any signs and symptoms of polyneuropat...

Resealing of a disrupted plasma membrane at the micron-diameter range requires Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis. Repeated membrane disruptions reseal more quickly than the initial wound, and this potentiation of membrane resealing persists for at least 24 hours after the initial wound. Long-term potentiation of membrane resealing requires CREB-dependent gene expression, which is activated by the PKC...

BACKGROUND Wartime stress has been associated with increased late-life mortality of all causes of death. We evaluated whether wounded Finnish World War II veterans who were alive at the age of 55 have increased long-term coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality. METHODS Health survey data were recorded in 1980 from 667 men, aged 55 years. Of them 102 had been wounded or injured in action during...

to study the effect of essential oils of medicinal plants on post-harvest stability of fruits quality and decay management of kinnow mandarin, this experiment was carried out as factorial in completely randomized design with four replications. essential oils of thyme, mint, fennel, rosemary, ajowan and cummin at two levels 500 and 750 ml/l were applied to wounded and non-wounded fruits, that ha...

We have recently shown that mechanical forces, experimentally imposed or physiologically generated, transiently disrupt or wound the plasma membranes of epithelial cells of the gut and that cultured endothelial cells similarly wounded mechanically at their plasma membranes release a potent basic fibroblast growth factor-like molecule. Here we show that mechanical forces generated by experimenta...

The search for significantly overrepresented and co-occurring transcription factor binding sites in the promoter regions of the most differentially expressed genes in microarray data sets could be a powerful approach for finding key regulators of complex biological processes. To test this concept, two previously published independent data sets on wounded human epidermis were re-analyzed. The pr...

Wound healing succeeds tissue destruction. We hypothesized that antibodies might bind to wounded tissues, which would facilitate the engulfment of damaged tissues by macrophages. We detected the autoantibodies in sera of different ages of mice, which bind to wounded tissues. We detected IgG1 binding to wounded tissues by using FITClabeled anti-IgG1 in C57BL/6 mice. These bands were highest in 4...
