review on why orthotics are used:
Answers:- For postoperative management
- To provide stability to an unstable joint
- To substitute for weak muscles
- Control abnormal tone
- To add kinesthetic feedback to the joints
- Correct misalignment
- To prevent contracture
- Improve function
stem cell therapy for severe burn wound healing
Answers:advances in stem cell and regen med have offered exciting opportunities
of developing cell-based alternatives and demonstrated the potential and feasibility
of various stem cells for burn wound healing.
scientific and technical issues that should be resolved to facilitate the full potential
of the cellular devices. More evidence from large, randomly controlled trials is also
needed
pathophysiology associated w burn damage
Answers:- coagulative destruction of the skin or mucous membrane
, - thermal damage occurs @ 48°C (118°F)
can result in
- increased capillary permeability and fluid loss
- hypovalemia and shock
- increase plasma viscosity and microthrombosis formation
- increased metabolic rate and energy metabolism
first-degree (superficial) burns
Answers:- involves the epidermis
- painful, erythematous and mildly edematous
- heals in 3-7 days
sunburn
healing phases + timeline
Answers:hemostasis
- seconds to minutes
