The International Journal of Lower Extremity Wounds is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes papers four times a year in the field of Medical Sciences. The journal's editor is Raj Mani, PhD, FACA (Southampton University Hospital). It has been in publication since 2010 and is currently published by SAGE Publications.
A wound is any disruption of or damage to living tissue, such as skin, mucous membranes, or organs. [1] [2] Wounds can either be the sudden result of direct trauma (mechanical, thermal, chemical), or can develop slowly over time due to underlying disease processes such as diabetes mellitus, venous/arterial insufficiency, or immunologic disease.

Injury prompts an inflammatory response in animals of many different phyla; [3] this prompts coagulation of the blood or body fluid, [4] followed by wound healing, which may be rapid, as in the cnidaria. [3] Arthropods are able to repair injuries to the cuticle that forms their exoskeleton to some extent. [5]
Timing is important to wound healing. Critically, the timing of wound re-epithelialization can decide the outcome of the healing. [11] If the epithelization of tissue over a denuded area is slow, a scar will form over many weeks, or months; [12] [13] If the epithelization of a wounded area is fast, the healing will result in regeneration.
Most injuries to the pancreas are caused by penetrative trauma, such as gunshot wounds and stab wounds. Pancreatic injuries occur in under 5% of blunt abdominal trauma cases. The severity of pancreatic injury depends primarily on the amount of harm caused to the pancreatic duct. [33]
Infixing a distal femoral traction pin, preopt for a fractured femur. In medicine, traumatology (from Greek trauma, meaning injury or wound) is the study of wounds and injuries caused by accidents or violence to a person, and the surgical therapy and repair of the damage.
A gorilla licking a wound. Wound licking is an instinctive response in humans and many other animals to cover an injury or second degree burn [1] with saliva. Dogs, cats, small rodents, horses, and primates all lick wounds. [2] Saliva contains tissue factor which promotes the blood clotting mechanism.
The Journal of Injury and Violence Research is an open-access peer-reviewed medical journal covering clinical practice in traumatology. The journal is indexed by PubMed, CINAHL, ProQuest, SocINDEX, SafetyLit, and Index Medicus/MEDLINE. It is published biannually by the Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences in Kermanshah, Iran.
