immune and inflammatory responses to promote wound healing. The transplantation of autologous and allogeneic Mesenchymal stem cells on the surface of deep burn wounds in rats decreases inflammatory cell infiltration into the wound, and accelerates the formation of new vessels and granulation tissue.” (Lu, Zhang, & Jin, 2009). This data regarding Mesenchymal stem cells only proves that there is major potential in stem cells to help burn victims. Most of the deaths caused by burns are from the…

Coping program, I received an invitation from the Concordia Hospital to attend their grief counseling. The counseling was on a professional level and very informative. At times during these healing programs, I was experiencing the feeling of frustration and confusion. I was driven to get through my healing process as quickly as I could. Consequently, I was anticipating into the future how I would feel, without being fully healed. I was projecting my present emotional state into the future…

conditions. Skin wound healing is an intrinsic self-saving chain-reaction, which is crucial in facilitating the replacement of damaged or lost tissue. Immense amounts of research have uncovered the mechanisms underlying this complex and highly regulated process. It is commonly agreed that wound healing is separated into four overlapping stages: hemostasis, inflammation, re-epithelialization and remodeling. In this review, we will dissect the biological process of adult skin wound healing process…

Medicine Walk by Richard Wagamese is a novel of tremendous pain and healing. The title in itself gives readers the opportunity to ponder the true meaning of the “Medicine”, and to come to the realization that the author is not talking about medicine in solely the physical sense of the word. Wagamese also brings the perspective of a journey into the title through the use of the verb “Walk”. After analysing the true meaning of the title, readers can begin to look at how the medicine is working to…

and tissue debri. PMNs are also a major source of cytokines, especially tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and second population that invades the wound consist of macrophages. The function of macrophages is phagocytosis , activation and recruitment of other cells by releasing various cytokines, growth factors such as Vascular endothelial growth Factor, Insulin like Growth Factor and Epidermal Growth Factor. Macrophages regulate matrix synthesis, cell proliferation and angiogenesis.30…

Jones’ is at an increased risk for impaired wound healing because of his age and his underlying condition of diabetes. With a chronic illness, such as diabetes, wounds heal slower and have the possibility to progress from acute inflammation to chronic inflammation. Mr. Jones’ diabetes causes increased serum…

concept paper discusses impaired wound healing. Impaired wound healing is an issue that can easily be overlooked or seen as not very important, for many reasons. However, it can become a very big problem if not taken care of correctly. The wound needs to follow the three complex phases to wound healing, in a specific way for the wound to heal properly. If for some reason the wound does not follow one of the phases properly, it will be delayed in the healing process. This can not only cause…

reacts with self--antigens but this self-reactivity does not necessarily mean a pathogenic outcome. Autoimmune disease features injury caused by the immunologic reaction of the body with its own tissues. (Braunchwald et. al., 2003). Environmental factors and susceptibility genes play a role in developing autoimmune diseases as well as the hormonal status of an individual. Even if the general rule is “self-tolerance”, some individuals have sustained immune response against their own tissue cells.…

lower limb not circulates. - Obesity. Excessive fat accumulation is one of the factors that make pressure injury become more serious and it decreases tissue perfusion. - Oxygen saturation. As patient has a chest infection which leads her difficult to swallow already, nurses should concern that might influence her breathing as well. Oxygen is important for cell metabolism, therefore it is critical for all wound healing process and it…

Introduction Wound care involves a lot of physiological and immunologic processes to achieve optimal wound healing, as well as several physical and social factors that may also help to successfully achieve wound closure. In this case study, Carlton, a six-year-old, got a deep cut on his foot after he stepped on the sharp edge of a shell while running along the shoreline. The foot of the six-year-old boy looked even worse a day after her mother had washed it. The gash had turned red and very…
