Development and characterisation of medicated wound dressings for chronic wound healing
Chronic wounds are difficult to heal and exhibit physiological features including prolonged inflammatory phase, mixed bacterial flora resistance and formation of biofilms, ineffectiveness of topical antimicrobials and high volumes of wound exudate. Polymeric gels of Polyox (POL) and blends of POL …

A wound infection monitoring system
Infection control is a key aspect of wound management strategies. An infected wound results in chemical imbalances in the wound and may lead to prolonged healing times and wound surface degradation. Wound dressings changes may result in damage to healing tissues and an increased risk of infection. …

The Wound Is (Not) Real
Invoking “the wound” as a space of semiotic, subjective, narrative, and hegemonic rupture, The Wound Is (Not) Real interrogates trauma and its effects on the formation of adolescent masculinity. Synthesizing and rejecting the conventions of lyric-narrative poetry, the prose poem, critical prose, …

A Wound Designates a Subject
… preemptively neutralize rupture, sealing wounds before they can fester, reroute, or become sites of transformation. Through the works gathered here, I explore how ghostlessness functions not simply as absence but as affective and infrastructural suppression—rendering the spectral …

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy - Mechanisms of Action and Protecting Exposed Blood Vessels in the Wound Bed
… severe complications and bleeding when used in wounds with exposed blood vessels. The aims of this work were to investigate the mechanisms of action of NPWT and to explore the possibility of using thin plastic discs to protect exposed blood vessels in the wound bed during NPWT. Three different …

Corneal Wound Healing: Cells and Molecules
… deliver important growth factors that promote wound healing, resolution of the inflammatory response (i.e., PMN clearance) is also needed to restore corneal homeostasis. This dissertation evaluated mechanisms regulating platelet recruitment after corneal injury, PMN migration in the abraded …

hyaluronic acid networks in wound healing
… signals. However, the very process of wound healing can compromise the integrity of the ECM, potentially impairing tissue repair. Gaining a deeper understanding of the ECM’s role in both successful regeneration and dysregulated wound repair could provide valuable insights for developing …

Static Mixing Spacers for Spiral Wound Modules
… sheets. The sheet form is used to produce spiral wound modules that permit the efficient contacting of process streams with the membrane in a compact form. Spiral wound modules are the dominant form used in reverse osmosis and Nanofiltration membrane processes.Spacers are used in spiral wound …

Role Of Gravin In Endothelial Wound Healing
… on EC migration was determined in a scratch wound and a 96-well based cell migration assay using antisense oligonucleotide and siRNA treatments. The </p> <p>effect of antisense oligonucleotide and siRNA treatments on gravin expression was assessed by Western blotting and cell based ELISA. …

The biomechanics of negative-pressure wound therapy
Despite the success of negative-pressure wound therapy, its mechanism of action remains unclear. The common perception that it reduces tissue pressure and increases perfusion has recently been challenged following the observation that tissue necrosis can be caused as a result of its application. A …

The unhealed wound : Olive Schreiner's expressive art
In this paper I discuss the relation between Olive Schreiner's social context and the form of her fictional writing. It is not intended as an interpretation of her work but rather represents a preliminary sketch of the social and political discourses which structured her environment. I suggest that …

Developing platforms to investigate mechanotransduction during wound healing
Wound healing in adult skin tissue lacks the ability to recapitulate uninjured tissue structure-function, forming instead fibrotic tissue with limited functionality. The extracellular matrix regulates forces on a cell- and tissue-specific level. Fibronectin, a mechanically regulated extracellular …

Antibiotic-free antibacterial hydrogels for wound healing applications
… cellulose (BC) has attracted great interest as a wound dressing thanks to its innate hydrogel-like structure and high biocompatibility. However, the lack of antibacterial features of cellulose poses some limitations to its use, especially in the context of increasing antimicrobial resistance. In …
