Wound healing made faster

Australian scientists say they've found a way to make wounds heal at least twice as fast as they would normally.In preliminary findings, a team at the Australian University of Technology reports they have been able to raise the effect of a number of key hormones involved in the body's own tissue-repair system by assembling them into a wound-healing "complex". The researchers believ...

Treating wounds without stitches

Researchers at the University of Texas have been comparing stitching with conservative treatment (keeping the wound clean and covered) in a group of 91 patients attending the emergency room. //Doing without stitches is a less painful approach to dealing with cuts to the hand, and the wound still heals in a satisfactory way. Having a cut stitched is a painful experience - but it's generally been a...

Grape seed extract helps wound healing

According to researchers grape seeds help in wound healing. An extract of grape seed heals wounds by helping new blood vessels to grow and providing a high concentration of free radicals in the damaged area.// Researchers at Ohio State University report on the first study of a natural extract on wound healing. They looked at how an extract of grape seed worked on both human skin cells and wounds...
