Download or read book A Skin Substitute Reepithelialization Calculator for Natural Synthetic and Composite Skin Cell Scaffolds written by Miguel Williams and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tissue engineering is a rapidly advancing field. Researchers around the globe have been working on novel ways to replicate the natural properties of tissues and organs. While new technologies enable increasingly complex therapeutics few of them have been found to be acceptable for clinical use. The skin is an excellent test bed for the techniques necessary for organ replacement. Skin is naturally regenerative, easily accessible and not as metabolically active as many other organs. This study analyzes published work to compare the epithelial wound repair rates of natural, synthetic, and hybrid tissue engineered skin substitutes to develop a wound repair calculator. Over 1,000 data points were utilized from 232 papers, linear regression produced a wound repair rate equal to the amount of wound repair per hour for each therapeutic class. Repair rates varied widely both within and across different therapeutics. Precision tests of the calculator's accuracy using 30 papers produced little concordance. The data reported in the tissue engineering papers examined here vary too greatly for accurate predictions of reepithelialization suggesting that the driving force in wound repair is not being effectively accounted for within the published works.

Download or read book A National Trauma Care System written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in trauma care have accelerated over the past decade, spurred by the significant burden of injury from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Between 2005 and 2013, the case fatality rate for United States service members injured in Afghanistan decreased by nearly 50 percent, despite an increase in the severity of injury among U.S. troops during the same period of time. But as the war in Afghanistan ends, knowledge and advances in trauma care developed by the Department of Defense (DoD) over the past decade from experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq may be lost. This would have implications for the quality of trauma care both within the DoD and in the civilian setting, where adoption of military advances in trauma care has become increasingly common and necessary to improve the response to multiple civilian casualty events. Intentional steps to codify and harvest the lessons learned within the military's trauma system are needed to ensure a ready military medical force for future combat and to prevent death from survivable injuries in both military and civilian systems. This will require partnership across military and civilian sectors and a sustained commitment from trauma system leaders at all levels to assure that the necessary knowledge and tools are not lost. A National Trauma Care System defines the components of a learning health system necessary to enable continued improvement in trauma care in both the civilian and the military sectors. This report provides recommendations to ensure that lessons learned over the past decade from the military's experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq are sustained and built upon for future combat operations and translated into the U.S. civilian system.

Download or read book Biomaterials for Clinical Applications written by Sujata K. Bhatia and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-14 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomaterials for Clinical Applications is organized according to the World Health Organization’s report of the top 11 causes of death worldwide, and lays out opportunities for both biomaterials scientists and physicians to tackle each of these leading contributors to mortality. The introductory chapter discusses the global burden of disease. Each of the subsequent eleven chapters focuses on a specific disease process, beginning with the leading cause of death worldwide, cardiovascular disease. The chapters start with describing diseases where clinical needs are most pressing, and then envisions how biomaterials can be designed to address these needs, instead of the more technologically centered approached favored by most books in the field. This book, then, should appeal to chemical engineers and bioengineers who are designing new biomaterials for drug delivery and vaccine delivery, as well as tissue engineering.
