  2. Regeneration in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_in_humans

    In humans with non-injured tissues, the tissue naturally regenerates over time; by default, new available cells replace expended cells. For example, the body regenerates a full bone within ten years, while non-injured skin tissue is regenerated within two weeks. [2] With injured tissue, the body usually has a different response.

  3. Wound healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing

    Timing is important to wound healing. Critically, the timing of wound re-epithelialization can decide the outcome of the healing. [11] If the epithelization of tissue over a denuded area is slow, a scar will form over many weeks, or months; [12] [13] If the epithelization of a wounded area is fast, the healing will result in regeneration.

  4. Pneumothorax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumothorax

    Spontaneous pneumothorax is, as in humans, classified as primary or secondary, while traumatic pneumothorax is divided into open and closed (with or without chest wall damage). [65] The diagnosis may be apparent to the veterinary physician because the animal exhibits difficulty breathing in, or has shallow breathing.

  5. Thoracostomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracostomy

    A thoracostomy is a small incision of the chest wall, [1] with maintenance of the opening for drainage. [2] It is most commonly used for the treatment of a pneumothorax.This is performed by physicians, paramedics, and nurses usually via needle thoracostomy or an incision into the chest wall with the insertion of a thoracostomy tube (chest tube) or with a hemostat and the provider's finger ...

  6. Regeneration (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_(biology)

    Regeneration in biology is the process of renewal, restoration, and tissue growth that makes genomes, cells, organisms, and ecosystems resilient to natural fluctuations or events that cause disturbance or damage. [1] Every species is capable of regeneration, from bacteria to humans.

    The six sessions “represented the beginning of a process that the Marine would need to continue after the formal conclusion of the intervention.” Billie Grimes-Watson’s experience in therapy, last spring in the San Diego moral injury/moral repair group, underscores how long it can take to heal moral injury.

  8. Pulmonary laceration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_laceration

    Therefore, pneumothorax is usually more of a problem than hemothorax. [8] A pneumothorax may form or be turned into a tension pneumothorax by mechanical ventilation, which may force air out of the tear in the lung. [12] The laceration may also close up by itself, which can cause it to trap blood and potentially form a cyst or hematoma. [8]

  9. Maggot therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maggot_therapy

    Maggot therapy (also known as larval therapy) is a type of biotherapy involving the introduction of live, disinfected maggots (fly larvae) into non-healing skin and soft-tissue wounds of a human or other animal for the purpose of cleaning out the necrotic (dead) tissue within a wound (debridement), and disinfection. There is evidence that ...
