However, the same proteolytic activity that protects against pathogens can, when unregulated, contribute to tissue injury, autoimmune inflammation, and chronic disease progression. ...
It has gained considerable interest in both the medical and wellness communities for its potential therapeutic benefits, particularly in promoting pain relief, reducing inflammation, and aiding tissue healing. Understanding serrapeptase and its applications can shed light on how this enzyme is transforming the landscape of alternative medicine. ...
While it was first discovered in gliomas (a type of brain tumor), TNC protein is present in a variety of tissues, especially during embryonic development and tissue remodeling after injury. ...
Inflammation is a series of complex response events produced by the host system to pathogen infection and various tissue injuries. When the inflammatory response continues, it enters the stage of "uncontrollable inflammation", which plays an important role in the occurrence and development of complex diseases such as tumors. ...
Healing rate: 5.4 mm2/day. Healing time: 93 days. Wound size: 25 × 20 × 3 mm w/undermining. Age of wound when treatment started: 4 months. Subject: 68/female. Diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, and venous insufficiency. Necrotic tissue was treated with moistened MIRRAGEN™ advanced wound matrix for 2 days to soften and loosen necrotic tissue for easy ...
IL-1β stimulates the production of other CK and inflammatory transmitters through autocrine or paracrine secretion, induces the expression of immune molecules on the surface of antigen-presenting cells, provides a secondary signal for T-lymphocyte activation, promotes the proliferation and differentiation of B cells, mediates the secretion of immunoglobulins, thereby activating complement ...
The repair of extensive skin and soft tissue injuries in children can be challenging due to large areas of soft tissue loss and limited reconstructive options. ...
NovoSorb® BTM (Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix) is a biocompatible device designed to temporize dermal injuries where tissue has been decimated or lost and to facilitate dermal repair by providing temporary wound closure and a scaffold for the generation of new dermal tissue. ...
Consisting of medical-grade biocompatible polymers, NovoSorb BTM is designed to facilitate tissue growth and be resorbed over time as the wound continues to remodel. ...
Sutures are sterile surgical strands or threads used to sew damaged body tissues together after an injury and repair lacerations. Once the sutures are satisfactorily placed, they must be secured with knots, which should be tightened sufficiently to approximate the wound edges without constricting the tissues or impeding blood flow. ...
An MRI scan is a valuable diagnostic tool that can show injuries or other anomalies that cannot be seen in a CT scan or X-ray. For instance, soft tissue injuries, such as,strains, sprains, contusions, tendonitis, and bursitis can all be observed via MRI. Moreover, according to the Mayo Clinic, MRI can also be used to diagnose a variety of ...
As I performed my manual lymphatic drainage techniques, I did use the diathermic effect of the capacitive electrode to dilate lymph vessels and vascular tissue proximal to the injury so that fluid drained from the surgical site would have an easier time of moving out. ...
Combining CET and RET with the various frequencies, the therapist can treat tissues at different depths in order to affect soft and hard tissues. ...
Modern cryotherapy (which comes from the Greek kyro, meaning “cold” and therapeia, meaning “healing”) can be traced back thousands of years, and some form of it was practiced by the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians, among other civilizations, which used extreme cold therapy to treat injuries and reduce inflammation. In 1978, a Japanese ...
