Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

2.4K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Hand hygiene

3.1K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Inflammatory Response II: Inflammatory Exudate and Tissue Repair01:24

Inflammatory Response II: Inflammatory Exudate and Tissue Repair

4.8K
The immune system's inflammatory response destroys the invading pathogen, permitting the tissue to heal. The changes during the cellular and vascular stages allow exudate formation at the site of inflammation. The inflammatory exudate released from the wound has high protein content and a specific gravity above 1.020.
The typical wound exudate is odorless, transparent, straw-colored, thin, and watery. Exudate, however, can differ depending on the state of wound healing. Likewise, the...

Phases of Wound Repair01:28

Phases of Wound Repair

5.9K
Following injury, the integrity of the injured tissues must be reestablished. For example, in skin tissue, wound repair involves coordination among resident skin cells, blood mononuclear cells, extracellular matrix, growth factors, and cytokines to complete the healing cascade.
Formation of Blood Clot
In case of deep injuries, trauma to blood vessels results in blood loss. In the meantime, phospholipids released from the ruptured endothelial cellular membrane are converted into arachidonic...

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells01:19

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

2.7K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Infectious Disease Research
  • Wound Care Technology

Background:

  • Wound infections significantly impede healing, increase healthcare costs, and pose major complications.
  • Current treatments like antibiotic ointments and dressings have limitations, including frequent reapplication and promoting antimicrobial resistance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop novel antimicrobial wound dressings using natural plant compounds.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of these dressings in combating microbial infections and promoting wound healing.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of polyurethane-coated wound dressings incorporating cinnamaldehyde and alpha-terpineol.
  • Assessment of antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria via colony quantification.
  • Evaluation of wound healing and bacterial reduction in an in vivo porcine burn model.

Main Results:

  • Achieved >5-log reduction (99.999%) of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
  • Demonstrated superior bacterial burden reduction compared to bacitracin in a porcine model without hindering wound healing.
  • Exhibited significantly lower adhesion to the wound bed than commercial dressings.

Conclusions:

  • The developed antimicrobial wound dressings effectively reduce bacterial burden and support wound healing.
  • These dressings offer advantages over current treatments, including reduced adhesion and enhanced antimicrobial efficacy.
  • The findings suggest potential for treating various acute and chronic wounds.
