RPE Wound Response Paper

Improved Essays
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.

    Neuroscientists at the John Hopkins University School of Medicine were able to determine that a group of cells found in the adult brain remain highly active by transforming into insulating nerve fibers. These nerve fibers then formed scars that contributed to tissue repair when they were artificially inserted into a group of mice. Their work brings to light how these multifunctional cells communicate with one another in the central nervous system (CNS), also known as the brain and spinal cord. The removal of one of these special cells, known as oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), causes a neighboring cell to rapidly divide in order to restore the lost cell and maintain a proper balance of cells within the brain. OPCs eventually can mature to become support cells known as…

    The skin always has a plan of attack on what is going to happen next when there is a scratch or an open wound on the epidermis or broken through the dermis. The body does not like to be open to the outside world because that is a way for bacteria to get in the scratch or wound and causes bacteria. Having stronger skin can promote wound healing with faster healing. The first plan of action to stop the bleeding from the affected area is to form a blood clot and stop the bleeding. The clot acts a temporary shield to prevent pathogens and bacteria.…

    Tri-Phasic Trauma Paper

    • 239 Words
    • 1 Pages

    Processing the trauma, the second step of the tri-phasic model, is especially congruent with narrative therapy. Narrative therapy’s focus on retelling and re-experiencing emotionally activated stories coincides with the tri-phasic model’s assertion that remembering, making sense of, and resolving traumatic memories are critical components of processing trauma (Baranowsky, 2015). A client working on trauma through a narrative approach might focus on talking about the trauma, the feelings associated with the trauma experience, and the narratives that shape the client’s interpretation of the trauma (Duvall & Beres, 2007). Part of the storytelling might particularly examine the client’s interpretation of the traumatic experience with emphasis on…

    1) Pimples and blisters. A blister is a small bubble filled with a clear serum (i.e. plasma), that creates itself on the skin because of burns on the skin, friction against the skin, and many other damages. A pimple is a swollen part of the skin filled with pus that results from an oil gland being infected with bacteria. Both effects on the skin are created on epithelial tissues, along the upper layers of the epidermis, affecting the stratum corneum while making it infectious. The skin splits in the epidermis, producing a blister, while pimples are created by the over- activity of the oil glands.…

    As was previously mentioned, there are distinct stages of regeneration. The first stage of regeneration is the healing of a wound which occurs immediately following an amputation. After about 4-12 hours the amputation area is replaced with a cell layer called a “wound epithelium”. The fast formation of the wound epithelium aids in preventing further tissue damage, infection, and an inflammatory response (Tsonis,…
