'The inner scar.' Women's experience of self-harm
South Asian women in the United Kingdom have shown higher rates of self-harm compared to their white counterparts and Asian men. However, only a few studies have attempted to use in-depth exploration on an individual level to understand the reasons behind this. The empirical study aimed to explore …

hepatocyte growth factor inhibits glial scar formation and
Formation of glial scars physically impedes growth of regenerating axons following CNS injuries such as spinal cord trauma. Glial scars also produce various species of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) that act as a potent inhibitor of axon growth. Thus, inhibition of glial scar formation …

Hypertrophic scar therapy : pressure-induced remodelling and its determinents
Hypertrophic scars are cosmetically unattractive products of abnormal wound healing and, if they occur over flexor aspects of joints, considerable functional impairment often results. Pressure, as a therapy for hypertrophic- scarring has considerable attraction since it is effective and …

Food Habits and Placental Scar Counts of Bobcats in South Dakota
Bobcat (Lynx rufus) food habits and placental scar counts were investigated in western South Dakota during 1978-79 and 1979-80 trapping and hunting seasons. Food habits were recorded by frequency of occurrence and placental scar counts were used to determine litter size for South Dakota bobcats. …

Mast Cell Influence in the Progression of Post-burn Hypertrophic Scar Pathophysiology
Painful, motion-limiting hypertrophic scars (HTS) form after protracted wound healing in patients with severe full-thickness burns and pose difficult treatment challenges. Despite substantial reduction in postburn mortality, long-term outcomes of HTS are the most serious therapeutic challenge …

Building a Better Scar: Re-engineering Extracellular Matrix Structure in Dermal Scars
Introduction Cutaneous scars represent a common surgical complication, yet no effective drug therapy for scar treatment currently exists despite huge patient and physician demand. A connexin 43 (Cx43) carboxyl terminus (CT) mimetic peptide, alpha Connexin Carboxy-Terminus 1 (αCT1), has demonstrated …

Hypertrophic scar tissue : its microstructure and mechanical properties and the effects of pressure therapy
The formation of hypertrophic scar tissue during the process of wound healing results in severe disfiguring and disabling consequences for the patient. This thesis presents the detailed micro-structure of hypertrophic scar tissue, as viewed with the S.E.M. and discusses the inter-relationship …

From Scar To Scaffold: The Afterlife of the Oil Pipeline for a Decarbonizing World
With over 86,000 kilometers of crude oil pipelines—and more than 2.13 million kilometers of total oil and gas pipelines in the United States as of 2024—many segments are already corroded and aging, deeply embedded within urban and ecological systems that are increasingly endangered. As the global …

Time series analysis of vegetation dynamics and burn scar mapping at Smoky Hill Air National Guard Range, Kansas using moderate resolution satellite imagery
Military installations are important assets for the proper training of armed forces. To ensure the continued viability of training lands, management practices need to be implemented to sustain the necessary environmental conditions for safe and effective training. For this study two analyses were …
