wound drain

any device by which a channel or open area may be established for the exit of material from a wound or cavity. See also drain, drainage, wound healing (below).

wound healing

the restoration of integrity to injured tissues by replacement of dead tissue with viable tissue. The process starts immediately after an injury and may continue for months or years, and is essentially the same for all types of wounds. Variations in wound healing are the result of differences in location, severity of the wound, and the extent of injury to the tissues. Other factors affecting wound healing are the age, nutritional status and general state of health of the animal and its body reserves and resources for the regeneration of tissue.

In healing by first intention (primary union), restoration of tissue continuity occurs directly, without granulation; in healing by second intention (secondary union), wound repair following tissue loss (as in ulceration or an open wound), is accomplished by closure of the wound with granulation tissue. This tissue is formed by proliferation of fibroblasts and extensive capillary budding at the outer edges and base of the wound cavity. Healing by third intention (delayed primary closure) occurs when a wound is initially too contaminated to close and is closed surgically 4 or 5 days after the injury.

The insertion of drains can facilitate healing by providing an outlet for removing accumulations of serosanguineous fluid and purulent material, and obliterating dead space.

wound healing agents

topical agents which stimulate healing; includes preparations containing zinc, trypsin, neomycin, dyes and iodine.

incised wound

one caused by a cutting instrument.

lacerated wound

perforating wound

pocket wound

puncture wound

penetrating wound.

sucking wound

surgical wound

one deliberately produced during a surgical procedure, e.g. the original incision.

tangential wound

Patient discussion about incised wound.

Q. My family doctor advised me to cut smoking and to have more orange juice and didn’t give any meds.Why is it so I work in suburban zone in a construction site. My worksite is very dusty and polluted as lot many industries also exist there. While coming home I face huge traffic pollution. It’s a 1 hour journey. This creates stress to me. My family doctor advised me to cut smoking and to have more orange juice and didn’t give any meds. Why is it so?

A. YEah, probably your doctor believes that by increasing amount of anti-oxidants inside your body, your body will be able to fight the negative effect from the pollution.
the chemical pollution can come from anywhere in our daily living. that's why it is recommended for all of us to strengthen our body defense by eating healthy foods (and even consume multivitamins), and stop the activities that will harm our body (such as smoking, alcoholic drinks, etc.).

Fruits and some vegetables (you can try: orange, apple, berries, tomato, grapes, etc.) are believed to have high content of anti-oxidants, so it will help our body to remain healthy.
Good luck and stay healthy always!

Q. Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? what would i gain if i'll do so?

A. Meat is an important constitute of our nutrition, although not essential, and more important, depends on the type and amount. Generally, lean meat (e.g. chicken or turkey) is preferred over red meat, and the amount shouldn't be excessive.

Fruits and vegetables may supply you with vitamins; fluids and large low-calorie bulk of food that may help you keep ideal weight.

However, these are only general advices, and since nutrition is a vast subject, you may want to consult a professional (e.g. a dietitian).

Q. Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? what would i gain if i'll do so?

A. It is a good idea to cut back on red-meat consumption, and increase the amount of fruit and vegetables in your diet, as these factors can lower the risk for developing colo-rectal cancer, whereas red meat has been found to be a risk factor in developing the disease. Other than that, fruit and vegetables are rich with fibers, that can ease constipation and help the digestive system.
