It’s all about a Break and the Power of Healing What is a Wound? A wound may be described in many ways; by its aetiology‚ anatomical location‚ by whether it is acute or chronic1‚ by the method of closure‚ by its presenting symptoms or indeed by the appearance of the predominant tissue types in the wound bed. All definitions serve a critical purpose in the assessment and appropriate management of the wound through to symptom resolution or‚ if viable‚ healing. A wound by true definition is a breakdown

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles that work together to stabilize the shoulder while connecting the humerus to the scapula. The four muscles include the Teres minor‚ Infraspinatus‚ Supraspinatus‚ and Subscapularis. A cuff around the humerus is formed from the tendons of these four muscles. While lying below the scapular spine‚ the teres minor and infraspinatus muscles are in charge of externally rotating the shoulder. Teres minor is initiated more when the arm is abducted to 90 degrees

Burns Burns Burns are injuries to either skin (caused by heat‚ electricity‚ or chemicals)‚ or respiratory tract (caused by inhalation of smoke or hot particles). According to the CDC someone in the United States sustained burn injuries every 30 minutes (CDC‚ 2013). Pathophysiology The cell and tissue damage noted in burns is a result of exposure to temperatures above 44⁰C‚ which cause proteins to denature (Hettiaratchy & Dziewulski‚ 2004).
