Role of Modified Egg Membrane in Donor Site Wound HealingBy Kanav Gupta, Ravi Kumar Chittoria, Padmalakshmi Bharathi Mohan, Jacob Antony Chakiath, Nagarjun S Ghatti
Abstract: An ulcer is essentially a small gap or tear in the skin that struggles to heal properly, persisting either suddenly or over an extended period. These persistent ulcers can present significant challenges for individuals, prolonging their discomfort and recovery. Medical professionals employ various techniques to aid in healing, including using skin grafts from different body parts, specialized coverings, or temporary solutions to protect the wound.In our research, we explored an …

Recombinant Human EGF in Wound Healing: 3D Computational InsightsBy Sushil Nepali, Ravi Kumar Chittoria, Jacob Antony Chakiath, Kanav Gupta
Abstract: A Growth Factor represents a naturally-occurring compound with the remarkable ability to incite cellular growth, proliferation, and differentiation. Typically manifesting as either a protein or a steroid hormone, these factors wield significant influence over an array of cellular activities. Their pivotal role lies in the regulation of diverse cellular processes, often serving as catalysts for cell specialization and maturation, a characteristic that distinguishes them from one another. For instance, bone …

A Novel Categorization System for Pressure Ulcers Reframed in the Context of BioinformaticsBy Vaibhav Shukla, Ravi Kumar Chittoria, Amrutha J.S., Jacob Antony Chakiath
Abstract: Pressure sores are a serious complication of multi morbidity and lack of mobility. Pressure injuries are commonly encountered in geriatric patients. Certain well-recognized risk factors, such as immobility and incontinence, may predispose to the development of pressure injury (PI); consequently, risk factor modification is an important aspect of prevention and treatment. One of the fundamental documentation details when describing a wound is the use of the appropriate staging system. Each …

Role of Application of SWCR Guidelines in Management of Right Trochanter Pressure Injury (PI)By Vaibhav Shukla, Ravi Kumar Chittoria, Amrutha J.S., Jacob Antony Chakiath
Abstract: A pressure injury refers to the localized death of tissue resulting from sustained pressure on the skin and underlying tissues. This damage is often compounded by shear forces or direct trauma to the skin. While terms like “decubitus ulcer,” “bedsore,” and “pressure sore” are commonly used interchangeably, they fail to capture the complexity of the condition as accurately as the term “pressure injury” does. The term “decubitus” originates from Latin, …

Role of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) in Healing of Electric BurnsBy Kanav Gupta, Ravi Kumar Chittoria, Padmalakshmi Bharati Mohan, Karthikeyan, Jacob Antony Chakiath
Abstract: The objective of this case study is to evaluate the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in treating scalp wounds caused by electric burns. A thorough examination of the scalp wound was conducted both before and after administering LLLT. The findings suggest that LLLT plays a beneficial role in the healing process of superficial ulcers. Specifically, the application of LLLT (as depicted in Figure 1) demonstrated promising results in facilitating …
