  2. Fat necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_necrosis

    Traumatic injury of adipose tissue liberates stored fat [1] [3] as well as lipases [1] from adipocytes. The extracellular fat then elicits a swift inflammatory response, attracting macrophages and polymorphonuclear leukocytes which proceed to phagocytose the freed fat. The process eventually leads to fibrosis. The necrotic tissue may eventually ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetrating_trauma

    Penetrating trauma is an open wound injury that occurs when an object pierces the skin and enters a tissue of the body, creating a deep but relatively narrow entry wound.In contrast, a blunt or non-penetrating trauma may have some deep damage, but the overlying skin is not necessarily broken and the wound is still closed to the outside environment.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_over_print

    Advantages of dye-sublimation over other methods of textile printing: [2] Pictures do not peel off fabric, unlike typical screen printing. Dye does not mount on fabric. The intensity of colour is often unmatched due to the direct permeation of dye. No need to half-print screens or cut fabric.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricothyrotomy

    The procedure was first described in 1805 by Félix Vicq-d'Azyr, a French surgeon and anatomist. [3] A cricothyrotomy is generally performed by making a vertical incision on the skin of the throat just below the laryngeal prominence (Adam's apple), then making a horizontal incision in the cricothyroid membrane which lies deep to this point.

  9. Veress needle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veress_needle

    Direct pressure on the tip—as when penetrating through tissue—pushes the dull stylet into the shaft of the outer cannula. When the tip of the needle enters a space such as the peritoneal cavity, the dull, inner stylet springs forward. Carbon dioxide is then passed through the Veress needle to inflate the space, creating a pneumoperitoneum. [6]
