Principles
of Wound Healing and Treatment of Complex Wounds TED Conference (Endovascular) Phoenix, Arizona This was a
10 minute presentation on a large detailed topic, given to vascular surgeons,
interventional radiologists, cardiologists.
A focused point of view was taken.
This group of doctors sees and treats wounds of vascular origin. The message emphasized is : (1) there is a
difference in physiology and clinical approach to acute trauma wounds versus chronic
and pathological wounds; (2) arteriopathic wounds have a set of treatment
principles that reflects that particular pathology and risks; (3) CAP wounds
(chronic and pathological) of other origins have their own distinctive and specific
pathogenesis and approach to care. Principles

Ventral & Incisional Hernias: Principles of Safe and Effective
Restoration (They can be prevented, and they can all be fixed.) Integra Sponsored Lab and Seminar Surgery Grand Rounds, HonorHealth
John C. Lincoln Section 1
gives an historical perspective on hernia care and surgery, with emphasis on
the recent epidemic rise in failed repairs, hernia recurrence, and failed
technologies. Section 2
discusses technicalities of safe and effective abdominal wall restoration. Section 3 is
a gallery of cases illustrating these points.
If these principles are applied during primary laparotomy, hernias can
be avoided in the first place. The
cases illustrate though that even after multiple failed procedures,
complicatons, and progressive damage to the abdominal wall, it can still be
salvaged and reconstructed for a long term durable result. Ventral & Incisional Hernias, and Redo, Complicated, &

Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections
– An Overview for Non-Surgeons Rocky Mountain Region WOCN _ Virtual
Conference Necrotizing fasciitis has always been
a challenging disease with respect to early diagnosis and then the effort and
logistics of post-operative care.
There is an evolving perception that, on top of these problems
inherent to the disease, that modern degradations of competent hospital
practices are resulting in unnecessary delays of care and increased morbidity
and mortality for this disease – we are going backward. This invitational talk asked to address how
nurses and therapists can intervene to help recognize the diagnosis and
expedite the correct care of these patients. Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections – An Overview for

disorders. There are two main
sections. The first presents the usual
medical information about physiology, nomenclature, pathology, clinical
approach, diagnosis, and treatment.

remain under-appreciated and under-recognized by physicians, and then the
physiological reasons why they remain under-appreciated. Hypercoagulable Disorders – Implications For Wounds &

In Situ Tissue Engineering With Integra
- Embryonic Histogenesis in Regenerative Matrices Seconda
Universitŕ di Napoli This is a presentation about
regeneration within biomatrices. It is
a histological evaluation of the biology of transformation from an acellular
biomatrix to a living lamina of new tissue.
The material studied is Integra collagen-gag matrix. The meritorious qualities that allow this
biomatrix to regenerate in the face of adverse circumstances and to do so
without scar derive from its ability to arrest inflammation and normal wound
healing, and instead to induce a state of embryonic histogenesis. Reader’s
format, PDF (pdf 4 MB).

Prime Principles in the Surgery of Repair To be successful and uncomplicated,
the “surgery of repair”, the surgery of restoring or reconstructing body
integrity after trauma or disease, requires a different set of principles,
strategies, and tactics than the “surgery of cure” to control trauma and
alleviate disease. This presentation
discusses the quintessential principles of the surgery of repair, the crucial
strategies and tactics that ensure success results without complications. Presentation format,

The Physics and Pathology of Wounds The
John A. Boswick, M.D. Burn and Wound Care Symposium 2010 This 3-part presentation explains the
nature of intrinsic wound pathology and wound failure. Certain chronic wounds fail to heal in
spite of all reasonable treatment.
Why? Furthermore, problems like
arterial insufficiency and pressure either injure or impair and thus inhibit
wounds, but they are factors extrinsic to the inherent wound healing
machinery. What then are the intrinsic
diseases of the wound module? This
series of lectures will explain that the inherent disease of wound healing is
of necessity a disease of fibroblasts, angiocytes, vessels, and connective
matrix, and more specifically a state of auto-immunization against them. How it is that this state then makes the
wound so refractory cannot be explained via any single cellular or chemical
alteration, but rather by the physics of complex systems. Part 1. The Wound as a
System and a Controlled Machine. Part 1
explains the wound as a closed loop control system. It includes a precis of fundamental wound
anatomy and physiology, then it explains the timewise dynamics of wound healing. In so doing, it also sets the foundations
for understanding the generalities of non-linear dynamics. Reader’s
format, PDF (pdf 2 MB).

Reader’s versions have full text annotation. Part 2. Auto-Immunopathy
and the Intrinsic Disease of Wound Healing. Part 2 takes
a more conventional biological and pathological look at the impaired wound,
beginning with a review of hypercoagulable and immunopathic ulcers. From there, it explains the origins of
auto-immunopathy in wounds subject to sustained acute inflammation. It then elucidates the kinship of the
impaired wound to the other connective tissue disorder, then concludes with
case studies illustrating these principles. Reader’s

Reader’s versions have full text annotation. Part 3. Chronicity and
the Physics of Wound Failure. Part 3
combines the science and engineering of Part 1 with the clinicals and
pathology of Part 2 to explain why refractory chronic wounds must be that
way. This understanding cannot be
arrived at by conventional biochemistry and cell biology, but rather by an
understanding of non-linear and population dynamics. It also includes a conspectus of wound
histopathological findings that practitioners can use to study, diagnose, and
plan treatment for wounds in their own practices. Reader’s
