Wound and bone fracture healing are natural repair processes initiated by trauma. Over the last decade, many mathematical models have been established to investigate the healing processes in silico, in addition to ongoing experimental work. In recent days, the focus of the mathematical models has shifted from simulation of the healing process towards simulation of the impaired healing process a...

The tradition of healing in Orthodox Christianity emphasizes the human being as a psychosomatic unity. In Western society, however, the practice of healing is often separated into disciplines that independently address the body, the mind, and the soul. Orthodox Christian physicians, psychologists, and religious leaders trained in Western institutions may therefore find a conflict between modern...

bone loss after spinal cord injury leads to increased fragility of bone and subsequent risk for low-trauma fractures in the sublesional parts of the body . although in such injuries upper limbs are normally innervated, bone loss may occur in the upper extremities. the present study was designed to determine the systemic effects of spinal cord injury on the fracture healing of upper limbs in rab...
