Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) has been used for chronic wounds, like non healing diabetic ulcerations or dehisced surgical incisions. NPWT is quite successful for these types of wounds, but recently there has been a trend to use NPWT for burn victims.

NPWT was first approved for use by the Food and…

The extent of the injury is dependent on the duration and the temperature of exposure . Zone of Ischaemia is the zone surrounding the central zone of necrosis in which there…
Most people associate the Liebeck v. McDonald’s case, better known as “the hot coffee lawsuit,” with the very worst of our justice system, frivolous actions brought by greedy plaintiffs with the hopes of winning the lawsuit lottery. However, it’s one thing to hear and another thing to see. Everybody knows, or they think they know the McDonald’s case. Although, the documentary “Hot Coffee” shows how people had wrong perceptions. Just merely hearing the sentence that a lady sued McDonald’s for 2.9…

There is crappy weather coming our way.I need to eat breakfast. Their leading scorer is 2nd in the state for goals. All of these toxic thoughts flooded my mind.
