Tissue cleansing

Debridement refers to the process of cleaning a wound by removal of foreign material and dead tissue. Cleansing of the wound facilitates rapid healing and minimizes the risk of infection due to the presence of bacteria at the wound surface. The formation of a clot, followed by a scab, on a... 

However, local anesthetics may be helpful when abrasion accompanies the injury.39 Application of an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment containing an anesthetic may provide soothing relief, promote healing of abrasions, and prevent soft-tissue infection. Minor abrasions should be cleansed thoroughly with mild soap and water before application. More severe abrasions may require removal of debris or foreign bodies by a clinician followed by irrigation with normal saline. 

The value of proteases in cleansing tissue wounds has been appreciated for several hundred years. Wounds were sometimes cleansed in the past by application of protease-containing maggot saliva. Nowadays, this is usually more acceptably achieved by topical application of the enzyme to the wound surface. In some cases, the enzyme is formulated in an aqueous-based cream, and in others it is impregnated into special bandages. Trypsin, papain, collagenase and various microbial enzymes have been used in this regard. 

As far as I know the cancer is gone. It was just something that happened. A lot of fibrous breast tissue is related to poor liver function. I can t be sure if there was a direct correlation, but I know the more cleaning out I do and the more cleansing, the better for me. 

Mecftantsm of Action A cerumenolytic that releases oxygen on contact with moist mouth tissues to provide cleansing effects, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and inhibit odor-forming bacteria, in the ear, oxygen is released and hydrogen peroxide is reduced to water which enables the chemical reaction. Therapeutic Effect Relieves inflammation of gums and lips. Emulsifies and disperses earwax. 

It is concluded that chronic leg ulcer patients probably lack the mechanisms that normalise their levels of antioxidant enzymes, which normally decrease at early stages of wound healing in order to allow blood granulocytes and tissue macrophages to perform their function in cleansing the wounded area. Consequently re-epitheUalisation and matrix remodeling processes are delayed. LLLT stimulates... 

Uses of the alkali hydroxides.—A soln. of potassium hydroxide is used in the laboratory as an absorbent for carbon dioxide, the sodium compound is not so often used because of the formation of less soluble sodium carbonate which is liable to choke the delivery tubes with crystals. Potassium hydroxide is used in making soft soaps the corresponding sodium compound gives the ordinary hard soaps. The hydroxide fused with a little lime is used as a cautery—pierre a cautere. The alkali lye is also used as a cleansing fluid, since it forms soluble soaps with many greases and fats. The lye also dissolves animal tissues. 

The goal of therapy is to clean and decontaminate the ulcer to promote wound healing by permitting the formation of healthy granulation tissue or to prepare the wound for an operative procedure. The main factors to be considered for successful wound care are (1) relief of pressure (2) debridement of necrotic tissue (3) wound cleansing (4) dressing selection and (5) prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infection. 

Kick the soda habit and you ll be well on your way to kicking acid in your body. Cola rates between 2.52 and 2.61 on the pH scale. Also, it forms an overwhelming amount of acid in your body—acid that must be neutralized with valuable minerals and water. Remember that you need to drink 32 cups of water (and expend tremendous amounts of energy that would be better used elsewhere in your body) just to neutralize the acidity of one glass of soda. Skip the soda and you ll have more energy and water available for healing your body and cleansing your cells and tissues. 

Not just a garden pest, dandelion is loaded with alkaline minerals that remove acidic toxins from the blood, tissues, joints, and kidneys. Be aware that if you drink a fair amount of this juice over a short period of time, it can speed up a cleansing reaction, which might initially produce symptoms such as fatigue or headaches. These will pass as your body becomes "cleaner."...

Other concurrent problems, such as lung damage due to smoke or heat or physical injuries that occurred at the time of the burn injury, also may influence the treatment r men. 

Puncture wounds do not cause a large area of visible injury to the skin but can carry a risk of damage to underlying tissues and infection. Puncture wounds should be cleansed carefully and monitored for signs of infection. The need for a tetanus toxoid booster immunization should be assessed.
