WOUNDED ARTERIES.?DEATH FROM SECONDARY HqMORRHAGE.

Partial purification of proteinase inhibitors from wounded tomato plants.

Proteinase inhibitors were extracted from the upper leaves of tomato plants, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., 48 hours after wounding single lower leaves. Inhibitors were partially purified by affinity chromatography and isoelectric focusing. Significantly higher levels of trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitory activity were recovered from wounded plants than from unwounded controls. Several inhibit...

The wounded worm

The ability to heal wounds is an ancient and conserved function of epidermal epithelial layers. The importance of skin wound healing to human life and biology has long been evident, however many of the molecular mechanisms underlying wound repair remain little understood. In the past several years, analysis of the C. elegans innate immune response to fungal infection of the epidermis has led to...

Infection in conflict wounded.

Although mechanisms of modern military wounding may be distinct from those of ancient conflicts, the infectious sequelae of ballistic trauma and the evolving microbial flora of war wounds remain a considerable burden on both the injured combatant and their deployed medical systems. Battlefield surgeons of ancient times favoured suppuration in war wounding and as such Galenic encouragement of pu...

For combat wounded: extremity trauma therapies from the USAISR.

Our focus here is on the future role of the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR) in reducing the morbidity associated with extremity combat wounds. These wounds are the most frequent and debilitating suffered in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). There have been over 40,000 total American combat casualties in OEF and OIF, and of those severely injur...
