Download or read book Wound Healing and Wound Management written by R.A. Hatz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-12-30 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whenever the integrity of the skin is impaired, via trauma or surgical incision, wounds und wound healing are the natural consequences. Thus, every physician should be interested in the biological processes involved in wound healing. The physician does not usually interfere with these natural processes, knowing that the body heals itself (natura sanat). It is not until the natural wound healing process is disturbed, that we realize how little we know about this area. Our limited knowledge is not even available to most physicians. Advances in the areas of cell-and molecular biology have also resulted in substantial progress in the field of wound healing. Today, we know that the process of tissue repair occurs in three phases and is controlled by specific cells. These cells release potent mediators which in turn regulate the function of other cells surrounding the area. "Certain rules apply to the healing of wounds and injured tissue. You must follow nature for nature will never follow you", this sentence writen by Paracelsus in his book "Chirurgia magna" is still valid today. Current reseach in wound healing is exploring these rules and integrating them into new therapeutical concepts. The purpose of this book is to make current knowledge on basic healing processes, research in this area and on wound management available to most physicians. Due to the importance of wound healing and the successful combination of basic science and clinical aspects, I would like this book to be widely accepted.

Download or read book Treating Cuts and Bruises written by Paolo Jose de Luna and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-01 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At one point in life, every one of us has gotten a wound at least once or twice. Yes, getting wounded might be painful, but it's considered as the normal course of life. There are a number of reasons why we get wounded - both physically and emotionally. But in this book, we'll be focusing on the physical wounds that we get from time to time. A wound is a type of injury, either occurring externally or internally on the body tissues, that serves as evidence of the damage that has occurred to the cells. Wounds often occur on the skin because the skin serves as the physical first line of defense against trauma and thus, cell damage. However, a strong enough amount of force can damage the skin, resulting in a variety of wounds depending on the type of injury that had occurred. There are a number of reasons as to how we get wounds - falls, cuts, small tools, sharp objects, and accidents. For serious accidents or severe cases of wound or bleeding, you need to call your local emergency hotline so that you can get immediate medical attention. You can also ask a family member to bring you to the nearest hospital so you can get immediate medical attention, especially in the cases of severe wounds. The usual concern for wounds is the risk for infection. Because wounds are open, they serve as the entry for bacteria which can cause infections. If you don't know how to properly clean and treat your wounds, you might be at risk for developing an infection. And everyone knows that infections are more serious and they can further increase your spending since you'll need to get antibiotics to fight off the infection on top of the materials that you need in order to take care of your wounds. Sometimes, you may need to get hospitalized to fight off a serious case of infection that had occurred on a particular wound. Worst case scenario, the infection on a wound reaches the roof of severity and a surgeon may need to surgically cut off dead infected tissue or even cut off a part of the body like finger, hand, or leg. In this book, you'll be learning all about wounds. This will include the different types of wounds, the signs and symptoms of each type of wound, how to properly take care of different wounds, the common management in taking care of wounds, the myths and hoaxes surrounding wound care, and the common remedies that you can use to treat different kinds of wounds. You'll be presented with a number of facts regarding wounds and wound care that will help you understand how to identify each type of wound, eliminating the risk of complications through untrained and unproven methods on wound care, how to differentiate each type of wound from each other, and how to treat each type of wound properly with careful and utmost care. So, get a pen and paper to take some notes and better be ready with your first aid kits, bandages, and antiseptic sprays - it's time to learn more about wounds and wound care.
