CHIEF DOC 99 Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 Research Info: Burn Therapy Research News link There's a lotta chatter about this being a hoax, I don't know if the Nat Geo documentry was real or a dramatization, what I do know is the reseach and development are very real indeed.

Dr. Mark Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Dr. Mark? A few years ago I got certified in Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine, which is the treatment and healing of wounds, burns and so forth. For the most part, it's always a painful and extremely unpleasant process. Happily, we are evolving all the time. Hyperbarics have helped. That involves sticking patients into a hyperbaric chamber, which pressurizes them in a 100% oxygen atmosphere, and the increased partial pressure of the oxygen forces the skin to heal at a MUCH higher rate than is normal. Pretty cool. This (the "skin gun") is extremely promising technology, but it's still in it's infancy. It uses sprayed-on stem cells which then differentiate into skin cells on the surface of the burn. It was first developed in Germany, and is currently being evaluated at several academic medical research facilities in the U.S., which should lead to FDA approval. . Interestingly, some of it's major components are based on 20-year-old tech. It's just really unfortunate that we banned experimentation on stem cells for so long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be interesting to see the membership dealing with this on the proposed political forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
