Scars: Negatively Affect A Person's Psychological Health

Improved Essays
Scars tell stories of horrible traumatic events, and can negatively affect a person’s psychological health. With advancements in medical technology, medical researchers are able to develop artificial tissues and bioactive wound coverings from cultured cells. These cultured cells have the ability to regenerate new skin cells and securely close off the wounded area. In burn victims the skin cells are damaged, charred and cannot produce new skin cells. The solution to quickly regenerate new skin cells is to use epidermal cultured cells. In addition to closing the burn site, the cultured cells promote less scaring and emotional stress in burn victims.
The body is comprised of twelve different organ systems that all have different functions. These

    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.…

    Discussion Reply to Our Scars Written by Rianna Crocker Most of my scars have been obtained through playing childhood games, sports, or unexpected awful encounters with vicious animals. How awful it must have been to have a scar on your face, a place that is inescapable from daily view, that reminds you of the death of your beloved friend and the grieving process that resulted in that scar. I too know what it is to lose such a precious friend at such a young age and the pain that grew inside. I must have been the tender age of four when the family cocker spaniel had a litter of puppies; two to be exact.…

The external variables in the environment, such as influences from society, culture, and the like, have a profound impact on the social, physical and emotional development of human beings. For this reason, sociologists are continually researching on external systems found in the environment and assess them based on their effect on the development of human beings. Social work according to Remear (2006), tries to achieve social development through the assessment of changes that occur in the society. The comprehension of such systems enables the social workers work…

    Benefits Of Veganism

    Anthropocentric idealism is destroying the earth; to believe humans are the most important being on the planet is ridiculous, and extremely selfish. Because of this ideal, non domestic animals are considered of lesser value, and are used for our benefit (whether it be for food, clothing, or other goods.) These animals are not afforded the rights that all living beings deserve- the right to a pain free life and the right to live. This is what vegans fight for, they fight for animal rights, and the end of animal based products to create a healthier and more humane earth. Veganism is a lifestyle that aims to avoid as much abuse and exploitation of animals as possible.…
