Faster healing of wounds
How many times have we suffered from a wound and the time it takes to heal? Many of us have had to invest in creams, ointments, lotions and other things to heal those wounds. But what if an element of our own body could help to heal these wounds.
In an article published in Technology Review, researchers from the University of Cincinnati say that this could change as it does not rule out possibilities of a platelet-rich gel derived from the patient's own blood, this may help prevent infections inwounds and accelerate healing time.
This finding was revealed by an experiment conducted by Dr. David Hom, director of the Division of Reconstructive Surgery and Facial Plastic Surgery at the University of Cincinnati. In this experiment involving eight individuals in good health, which Horn and his colleagues did was to obtain blood samples from each subject and produce a gel derived from their own platelets for each of them. Then applied a local anesthetic and small incisions made on the thighs of each subject and subsequently treated with one leg and the other gel treated with conventional ointments. To spend six months subjects returned for further study, and this is how Hom and colleagues found that the gel-treated wounds had healed statistically faster than the control.
This finding has not been tested with people suffering from a disease such as diabetes, but the Doctor does not rule Hom test in people with diabetes. If the gel works for people with diabetes would be a breakthrough in health for people with injuries and suffering from diabetes.
It will be good to watch for the development of this discovery and learn to act as the cream, if it will be sold to the general public or will be distributed under medical supervision. But most importantly, this discovery shows us that there are many more possibilities for healing and not just the conventional manner to which we are accustomed.
