Can wounds be cured?
Wounds do not need to be managed like a standard surgical situation, e.g. delayed excision or skin grafting. In an uneventful course, they need to be treated like any other wound.
What causes wounds?
Wounds are a broad topic of great diversity and the causes can be thought of as either inherent or precipitated. The ultimate goal in wound treatment is to ensure that the wound does not become infected, which can only happen if it becomes open to the outside environment, which requires a significant loss of tissue volume in any open wound. If this is the case it is reasonable to try to close the wound at all costs. It is in this context that we discuss the major causes of wounds.
What is wounds?
Recent findings illustrates that wounds are often used to denote the presence of injury, pain, discomfort and the need to remedy an injury. The implications of this and the implications for wound management is explored in further research.
What are common treatments for wounds?
A multidisciplinary approach is required for the treatment of all the chronic wounds mentioned in this paper for wound care. Treatment is dependent on the type of wound, whether the wound is burn-related, infected, etc. The key to wound healing is good wound care, which is a key determinant to a person's quality of life.
How many people get wounds a year in the United States?
In the United States, about 6.4 million people get wounds in a typical year. Most are superficial venous injuries, particularly those related to occupational injury and older people. There have been many efforts to reduce complications from venous injuries in the last 30 years, but complications still occur. Physicians and industry members are working to decrease these events through education and awareness. More research and medical efforts to improve trauma care are needed.
What are the signs of wounds?
Wounds present with bruising. Other symptoms may include swelling, tenderness, oozing and drainage, numbness of the finger tips and feet, and a sudden change in the colour of the skin. Symptoms of infection of open wounds can be painful and may be accompanied by fever, chills, shivering, rapid breathing, coughing, chest pains, nausea, vomiting and sweating, headache, blurred vision, dizziness and loss of consciousness.\n
What is bilingual brain injury education and outpatient navigation for hispanic families?
An evidence-based trauma program including bilingual (Spanish and English) rehabilitation for the Spanish-speaking and English-speaking populations results in improved outcomes that can be sustained at a high level.
Have there been other clinical trials involving bilingual brain injury education and outpatient navigation for hispanic families?
This is one of the first clinical trial reports demonstrating the effectiveness of bilingual brain injury education to non-Hispanic immigrant families. To our knowledge, this report is the first for brain injury education and clinical navigation for hispanic individuals in a primary care setting.
How serious can wounds be?
The seriousness of wounds depends on many factors, such as nature of the wound, medical history (e.g. infection or preexisting health problems such as diabetes or heart disease). Wounds are usually less serious than most other types of injuries, and most minor wounds resolve with relatively few problems. However, a significant percentage of cases warrants specific scrutiny by a physician. Even minor tears, bruises, cuts, and abrasions can become infected if left untreated. Such problems can become much more serious when untreated or misdiagnosed. There is [a] strong possibility that wounds may become [severely] debilitating and/or life threatening.
What is the primary cause of wounds?
Non-union cases have better healing ability than cases of bone regeneration. Wounds have two phases which are the inflammatory phase and the osteogenic phase. The inflammatory phase is the first phase, during which the blood flow and blood supply can be restored. Then, the osteogenic phase occurs (blood flow and blood supply are restored), during which bone formation is taken place. Finally, the osteogenic phase is the last stage of wound healing, in which the healing of the wound is finished.
Does bilingual brain injury education and outpatient navigation for hispanic families improve quality of life for those with wounds?
The bilingual brain rehabilitation program has improved quality of life among some of these patients with Wounds and we believe this was due to increased self-efficacy through education and navigation for the Spanish-language patients, as well as the increase in understanding of the injury and related disability issues by the English-speaking patients. However, the increase in the number of visits and the need for more support and assistance from these clinicians was a bit alarming and needs more investigation as to why. The improvements were observed in 4 months after participation in the program.
How does bilingual brain injury education and outpatient navigation for hispanic families work?
Knowledge is the base for understanding the consequences of the brain injury and for achieving effective recovery through specific skills. The use of informational strategies to teach brain injury as a traumatic event is key for achieving successful recovery. Navigation is helpful in this process.
