The Wound Healing Process
Wound healing is a complex body-structure-related process that is dependent on some inter-related factors. Wound test/evaluation and treatment should be based on an understanding of (usual/ commonly and regular/ healthy) tissue repair and factors affecting the process.
The process of wound healing All tissues in the body are capable of healing by one of two (machines/methods/ways): regeneration or repair. Regeneration is the replacement of damaged tissues by identical cells and is more limited than repair. In humans, complete regeneration happens in a limited number of cells -- for example, (related to sacs that surround body organs), liver and nerve cells. The main healing (machine/method/way) is repair where damaged

    Wound Care Experience Paper

    On Thursday, August 24, 2017 I got the experience to follow Horizon Specialty Hospital of Henderson’s Wound Care Team. During this experience, I was able to witness the removal of a wound VAC (vacuum assisted closure) and surgical stitches, different methods of wound monitoring and discussed the healing process. For new admissions, the Wound Care Team does a physical examination of the body, looking for any wounds, bruises, scars, tubes and IV placements. They take pictures, measurements and note the location of the wound. Since the hospital still uses paper charting, they handwrite all of their notes and upload them to the patients' medical chart when done with their assessment.…

    RPE Wound Response Paper

    To study and quantify the RPE wound healing in response to an acute or chronic wounding condition, we introduced one electrical treatment every day for ten days and measured the time for cells to regain 10% and 90% of the maximum impedance for each treatment. As illustrated in Fig. 1A, time for cells to reach 10% maximum can indicate the point where cells start to heal the wound; the period for cells to reach 10% and 90% maximum can represent the rate for cells to repair the wound. After the first treatment (an acute condition), bystander cells took average 7.7 hours to reach 10% maximum impedance and another average 12.2 hours to reach 90% maximum impedance. The duration for cells to recover gradually decreased with the daily treatment (Fig.…

    Minor Wounds Research Paper

    In this phase, the wound is rebuilt with new granulation tissue which consists of extracellular matrix and collagen, and new blood vessels develop. The granulation tissue depends on oxygen and nutrients produced by the blood vessels for a healthy healing process of the wound. The color of the granulation tissue can determine whether or not the wound is infected or healthy (Phases of Wound Healing, par 2). Next the epithelial cells resurface the wound to create a barrier between the wound and the environment. Once epithelialization has occurred and the wound is closed, it moves into the phase known as maturation or remodeling.…

    This is the main healing stage of the response. This is where new tissue and a new network of capillaries are formed around the affected area.

    Why Do People Lose Control

    The central nervous system (CNS) is actually very different from the peripheral nervous system (PNS) when it comes to repairing itself. The PNS has chemicals that flock to sites of injuries to promote regrowth and repair, so nerve damage to a finger or toe is likely to heal. The CNS, on the contrary, sends chemicals that block cells from repairing themselves. Therefore, one of the first challenges that must be overcome is finding a way to replace those growth inhibiting chemicals with the growth-promoting chemicals found in the…

    Stem Cells Essay

    One way, is by a stem cell transplant, which turns the unspecialized embryonic stem cells into specialized adult cells. This can be used to replace any neurons damaged by spinal cord injuries, strokes, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease. Also stem cells can be used to produce insulin, which can treat people with diabetes as well as can produce heart muscle cells that can repair damage done after a heart attack. For spinal cord injuries, scientists have been working on recolonizing stem cells to the spinal cord in order to improve victim’s ability to move and feel. They have been experimenting with grafts of neural stem/ progenitor cells from marmoset monkeys, for they have similar nervous systems to human, and after taking embryonic stem cells and putting them into adult marmosets who suffered from bruised spinal cords they showed significant recovery of motor functions.…
