This document discusses healing and repair processes in the body. It explains that healing involves regeneration, where original tissue is restored, or repair through fibrosis and scarring. The stages of wound healing like inflammation, granulation tissue formation, and remodeling are described. Factors influencing healing like infection, nutrition and movement are also covered. Healing of specialized tissues like bone, muscle and skin wounds are explained in detail.
Dr. Hiwa Omer Ahmed is a professor of general and bariatric surgery at the University of Sulaimani College of Medicine. The document discusses scar formation and healing, outlining the three phases of inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. It also examines factors that affect scarring such as wound characteristics, patient health, surgical technique, and postoperative care. The types of scars like hypertrophic, keloid, and mature scars are also defined.
This document discusses the histopathological diagnosis of blunt and sharp trauma injuries. It defines wounds as damage to the body from mechanical force. It describes the four main types of blunt force injuries as abrasions, contusions, lacerations, and fractures. It then provides detailed information on identifying features, causes, and timelines for healing of each type of injury based on appearance and histological analysis.
The document discusses the process of healing through regeneration and repair. Regeneration replaces lost tissue with identical new tissue, while repair replaces it with scar tissue. Whether healing occurs through regeneration or repair depends on the type of damaged cells (labile, stable, or permanent) and the extent of damage to supporting structures. The healing process involves inflammation, removal of dead tissue, new tissue growth, and replacement of injured areas. Complications can arise if healing is deficient, excessive, or involves contracture of new tissue.
1) Growth factors are polypeptides that promote cell locomotion, contractility, proliferation, differentiation, angiogenesis, and tissue organization. They act through specific receptors to influence gene expression.
2) Regeneration replaces lost tissue with the original tissue type through cell proliferation. Healing repairs damage through inflammation and often results in scar tissue.
3) The healing process involves inflammation, proliferation of fibroblasts and new blood vessels, collagen deposition, tissue remodeling, and wound contraction. This replaces damaged tissue with scar tissue.
This document discusses wound healing and the healing process after tooth extraction. It defines a wound and classifies wounds based on origin, contamination, and depth. The two main processes of healing are regeneration and repair. Repair involves granulation tissue formation and wound contraction. There are two types of wound healing: primary intention and secondary intention. Healing after tooth extraction involves blood clot formation, fibroblast proliferation, angiogenesis, and bone remodeling over 4 weeks. Complications can include dry socket and fibrous union.
1. Tissue repair occurs through regeneration or healing. Regeneration replaces dead cells with the same cell type, while healing replaces tissue with fibrous scar tissue.
2. The regenerative capacity of tissues depends on their ability to proliferate. Labile tissues continuously divide, stable tissues stop dividing after birth but can proliferate in response to injury, and permanent tissues stop dividing early in life.
3. Growth factors, the extracellular matrix, and cellular proliferation play important roles in tissue repair by stimulating cell growth, promoting cell survival, and providing a scaffold for cells.

Bone fractures occur when there is a break in the continuity of the bone. Fractures can be caused by trauma or certain medical conditions like osteoporosis. The types of fractures include closed (simple) fractures where the bone ends do not penetrate the skin, and open (compound) fractures where the bone ends do penetrate the skin. Fractures heal through a process involving blood clot formation, new blood vessel growth, collagen deposition, and ultimately bone mineralization. Proper healing depends on factors like immobilization and prevention of infection. Complications can include delayed healing, non-union, or malunion where the bone heals in an abnormal position.
1) Tissue response to injury can occur through regeneration, which restores normal tissue, or through healing, which leads to scar formation and fibrosis.
2) Regeneration replaces lost structures through cell and tissue growth, while healing is the tissue response to wounds, inflammation, or cell necrosis in non-regenerating organs.
3) Repair through healing involves an inflammatory response, proliferation of cells, new blood vessel formation, collagen deposition, and tissue remodeling, ultimately resulting in scar formation.
1. Healing of tissues occurs through regeneration or repair depending on the capacity of cells to divide. Regeneration involves replacement with the same type of cells while repair involves replacement with fibrous tissue.
2. Granulation tissue formation and wound contraction are the two main processes involved in repair. Granulation tissue forms through angiogenesis and fibrogenesis.
3. Fracture healing occurs through either primary or secondary union depending on the stability of the fracture. Secondary union involves procallus formation, osseous callus formation and remodeling of the bone.
Wound healing involves four phases - coagulation and hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation. During coagulation, clotting occurs to stop bleeding. Inflammation brings immune cells to fight infection. Proliferation involves new tissue growth via fibroblasts, collagen deposition, and re-epithelialization. Maturation involves collagen remodeling for strength over 1-2 years. Factors like infection, nutrition, diabetes, and age can affect healing. Complications include delayed healing or abnormal scarring.
This document provides an overview of wound healing. It defines wounds and classifies them based on several factors. The stages and phases of wound healing are described, including inflammation, proliferation, and maturation. During inflammation, a clot forms and neutrophils and macrophages work to clean the wound. Proliferation involves granulation tissue formation through fibroblasts and angiogenesis. Epithelialization then occurs to close the wound. Factors affecting healing and complications are also mentioned.

Wounds can be classified into several types including incisions, lacerations, abrasions, puncture wounds, and gunshot wounds. The wound healing process occurs in four phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation. Factors that promote wound healing include adequate blood supply, lack of infection, nutrition, and rest. Factors that can delay healing include infection, hemorrhage, lack of immobilization, foreign bodies in the wound, and certain drugs like steroids. Management of wounds involves dressing changes, rest, analgesia, nutrition, and antibiotics if needed.
The document discusses wound healing and repair, providing definitions of wounds and the healing process. It describes the phases of wound healing as regeneration, repair, granulation tissue formation, and wound contraction. There are two main types of wound healing: primary intention (healing by first intention) and secondary intention (healing by second intention). Several factors can affect wound healing, including infection, chronic diseases, and age. Complications include infection, scarring issues, and hernias. The strength of healed wounds increases over time but may never reach the strength of unwounded skin. Materials used in endodontics like calcium hydroxide and MTA can promote healing. Recent advancements include regenerative endodontics using scaffolds and growth
Tissue repair occurs through two main processes: regeneration and healing by scar formation. Regeneration involves the renewal of lost tissues through proliferation and migration of surviving cells, replacing tissue with identical cells. Scar formation replaces injured cells with connective tissue when damage is too severe for complete regeneration. The scar formation process involves hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation of cells like fibroblasts and blood vessels, and maturation of granulation tissue into a scar. Factors like wound location, size, infection status, nutrition, and hormones can influence healing. Complications include infection, deficient scarring, excessive scarring like keloids. Fracture healing is also described as involving formation of a hematoma, granulation tissue, fibrocartilaginous
WOUND HEALING. wound healing in general, wound healing in dentistry.YasminShaik16
Wound Healing:
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process that restores the integrity of the skin and underlying tissues after injury. This essential biological function involves a well-orchestrated interplay of cellular and molecular mechanisms. Understanding wound healing is crucial for healthcare professionals, researchers, and anyone interested in medical science. This comprehensive overview will cover the phases of wound healing, factors affecting the process, advanced wound care techniques, and current research trends. This presentation delves into the four distinct phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Each phase plays a crucial role in repairing damaged tissue and involves complex interactions between cells, growth factors, and the extracellular matrix.
Key topics include:
Hemostasis: The immediate response to injury, where blood clotting mechanisms are activated to prevent excessive bleeding.
Inflammation: The body's defense mechanism against infection, involving white blood cells, cytokines, and other inflammatory mediators.
Proliferation: The phase where new tissue forms, characterized by the proliferation of fibroblasts, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis.
Remodeling: The final phase where the newly formed tissue matures and strengthens over time, ensuring functional and aesthetic restoration.
This presentation also covers factors that influence wound healing, such as age, nutrition, underlying health conditions, and external factors like infection and mechanical stress. Additionally, it highlights advanced wound care techniques and the latest research in enhancing the healing process through innovative therapies and technologies.
Ideal for healthcare professionals, students, and anyone interested in understanding the science behind wound healing, this presentation provides valuable insights into how our bodies repair themselves and the advancements in medical science that support this vital process.
Factors Affecting Wound Healing
Wound healing can be influenced by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Understanding these factors is crucial for optimizing healing outcomes.
Intrinsic Factors
Age: Healing capacity declines with age due to reduced cellular proliferation, slower immune response, and decreased collagen synthesis.
Genetics: Genetic predispositions can affect the efficiency of the healing process and the likelihood of developing chronic wounds or hypertrophic scars.
Nutrition: Adequate nutrition is essential for wound healing. Proteins, vitamins (especially vitamins A and C), and minerals (like zinc) play vital roles in cell proliferation, collagen synthesis, and immune function.
Health Conditions: Chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases can impair wound healing. Diabetes, for example, can lead to poor blood circulation and reduced immune response, increasing the risk of infection and delayed healing.

This document discusses skin integrity and wound care. It covers factors that affect skin integrity such as age, genetics, and medications. It also discusses pressure ulcers, their stages and risk factors. Wound healing processes like primary, secondary and tertiary intention healing are explained. The document also covers wound assessment, complications of wound healing and client education on preventing pressure ulcers and maintaining skin integrity.
Tissue repair occurs through either regeneration or scar formation. Regeneration involves the proliferation of residual cells to completely restore lost tissue, while scar formation deposits connective tissue when regeneration is not possible. The key stages of wound healing are inflammation, proliferation, granulation tissue formation, wound contraction, and strength acquisition. Factors like nutrition, infection, and location can influence healing. Complications include deficient or excessive scarring, contractures, and exuberant granulation. Stem cells also contribute to tissue repair through self-renewal and generation of new cells.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
Bone fractures occur when there is a break in the continuity of the bone. Fractures can be caused by trauma or certain medical conditions like osteoporosis. The types of fractures include closed (simple) fractures where the bone ends do not penetrate the skin, and open (compound) fractures where the bone ends do penetrate the skin.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
Current Ms word generated power point presentation covers major details about the micronuclei test. It's significance and assays to conduct it. It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...AbdullaAlAsif1
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

5. Synopsis
• Healing, as used in a pathological context, refers to the body’s replacement of
destroyed tissue by living tissue.
• The healing process involves two distinct processes: Regeneration and Repair
• Regeneration - ability of a tissue to replace the damaged components and essentially
returning to a normal state. It is the renewal of a lost tissue in which the lost cells are
replaced by identical ones and it involves two processes:
• Proliferation of surviving cells to replace lost tissue and Migration of surviving cells
into the vacant space.
• Repair - the replacement of lost tissue by granulation tissue which matures to form
scar tissue
• Fibrosis - extensive deposition of collagen that occurs in the organs as a consequence
of chronic inflammation, or after extensive infarction.

Proliferative Capacities of Tissues
The ability of tissues to repair
themselves is critically influenced
by their intrinsic proliferative
capacity.
10. Tissue Repair
• Repair is the orderly process by which lost tissue is
eventually replaced by a scar.
• Tissues containing permanent cells can not heal by
regeneration.
• Rather the lost permanent cells are replaced by
formation of granulation tissue.
• In granulation-tissue formation, three phases may be
observed.
Tuesday, March 7, 2023 Ephraim Zulu - PATHOLOGY 10
11. Phases: Granulation tissue formation
1. Phase of inflammation
• Inflammatory exudate containing polymorphs is seen in
the area of tissue injury.
2. Phase of demolition
• The dead cells liberate their autolytic enzymes, and other
enzymes (proteolytic) come from disintegrating
polymorphs.
• Macrophages ingest particulate matter.
Tuesday, March 7, 2023 Ephraim Zulu - PATHOLOGY 11
12. 3. Ingrowth of granulation tissue
• This is characterized by proliferation of fibroblasts and an ingrowth
of new blood vessels into the area of injury, with a variable number
of inflammatory cells.
• Fibroblasts actively synthesize and secrete fibronectin,
proteoglycans, and collagen.
• As the collagen content of the wound increases, many of the newly
formed vessels disappear.
• This vascular involution which takes place in a few weeks,
dramatically transforms a richly vascularized tissue into a pale,
avascular scar tissue.

14. Wound Contraction
• Is a mechanical reduction in the size of the defect.
• The wound is reduced approximately by 70-80% of its original
size.
• If contraction is prevented, healing is slow and a large ugly
scar is formed.
• Contraction is said to be due to contraction by myofibroblasts.
• Two to three days after the injury they migrate into the wound
and their active contraction decrease the size of the defect.
Tuesday, March 7, 2023 Ephraim Zulu - PATHOLOGY 14
15. Patterns of Wound Healing
• Healing of a wound demonstrates both epithelial regeneration
(healing of the epidermis) and repair by scarring (healing of the
dermis).
• There are two patterns of wound healing depending on the amount
of tissue damage:
• Healing by first intention (Primary union) and Healing by second
intention (Secondary union)
• These two patterns are essentially the same process varying only in
amount.

20. Factors that Influence Wound Healing
• Infection
• Nutrition
• Glucocorticoids
• Mechanical variables
• Poor perfusion,
• Foreign bodies
• Type (and volume) of
tissue injured
• Type and size of wound
• Location of the wound
• Movement
• Ionizing radiation
• Metabolic status
Tuesday, March 7, 2023 Ephraim Zulu - PATHOLOGY 20
21. Factors That Influence Wound Healing..,
Infection
• is the single most important cause of delay in healing; it
prolongs the inflammation phase of the process and
potentially increases the local tissue injury.
Nutrition
• protein and vitamin C deficiency, inhibits collagen synthesis
and retards healing.
Poor perfusion,
• Also impairs healing.
Tuesday, March 7, 2023 Ephraim Zulu - PATHOLOGY 21
22. Glucocorticoids (steroids)
• have an anti-inflammatory effects,
and may result in poor wound
strength due to diminished fibrosis.
Mechanical variables
• such as increased local pressure or
torsion may cause wounds to pull
apart, or dehisce (see picture).
Tuesday, March 7, 2023 Ephraim Zulu - PATHOLOGY 22
Dehiscence
23. • Foreign bodies
• such as fragments of steel, glass, or even bone impede
healing.
• Type (and volume) of tissue injured
• Complete restoration can occur only in tissues composed
of stable and labile cells; even then, extensive injury will
probably result in incomplete tissue regeneration.
• Injury to tissues composed of permanent cells must
inevitably result in scarring
Tuesday, March 7, 2023 Ephraim Zulu - PATHOLOGY 23
24. Type, size, and location of the wound
• A clean, aseptic wound produced by the surgeon’s scalpel
heals faster than a wound produced by blunt trauma, which
exhibits abundant necrosis and irregular edges.
• Small blunt wounds heal faster than larger ones.
• Injuries in richly vascularized areas (e.g., the face) heal faster
than those in poorly vascularized ones (e.g., the foot).
• In areas where the skin adheres to bony surfaces, as in injuries
over the tibia, wound contraction and adequate apposition of
the edges are difficult.
• Hence, such wounds heal slowly.
Tuesday, March 7, 2023 Ephraim Zulu - PATHOLOGY 24
25. • Movement
• Early motion, particularly before tensile strength subjects
a wound to persistent trauma, thus preventing or
retarding healing.
• Ionizing radiation
• Prior irradiation leaves vascular lesions that interfere
with blood supply and result in slow wound healing.
• Acutely, irradiation of a wound blocks cell proliferation,
inhibits contraction, and retards the formation of
granulation tissue.
Tuesday, March 7, 2023 Ephraim Zulu - PATHOLOGY 25
26. Metabolic status
• Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus is associated with
delayed wound healing.
• The risk of infection in clean wound approaches five fold
the risk in non- diabetics.
• In diabetic patients, there can be impaired circulation
secondary to arteriosclerosis and impaired sensation due
to diabetic neuropathy.
• The impaired sensation renders the lower extremity
blind to every day hazards.
• Hence, in diabetic patients, wounds heal very slowly.

27. Complications of Wound Healing
Abnormalities in basic healing processes result in the
complications of wound healing.
• Infection
• Deficient Scar Formation (wound dehiscence and ulceration).
• Excessive Scar Formation (Hypertrophic scar and Keloid)
• Excessive Contraction
• Epidermal cysts
• Pigmentation
• Neoplasia
Tuesday, March 7, 2023 Ephraim Zulu - PATHOLOGY 27
28. Complications.,
• Infection. Infected wound may provide the portal of entry for
many organisms.
• Epidermal cysts can develop due to persistence of epithelial
cells at the site of wound healing.
• Pigmentation may develop due to either colored particle left
in the wound or due to hemosiderin pigment.
• Neoplasia: For example squamous cell carcinoma may
develop in Marjolin’s ulcer, which is the scar that follows burns
in skin. .
Tuesday, March 7, 2023 Ephraim Zulu - PATHOLOGY 28
29. Deficient Scar Formation
• Inadequate formation of granulation tissue or a deficient scar formation can cause
wound dehiscence and ulceration.
• 1. Dehiscence (the wound splitting open) or rupture of a wound is most common life-
threatening complication after abdominal surgery. It is due to increased abdominal
pressure/mechanical stress on the abdominal wound from vomiting, coughing, or
ileus.
• 2. Ulceration: Wounds can ulcerate due to inadequate angiogenesis during healing.
Nonhealing wounds also develop in regions devoid of sensation..
• 3. Incisional hernia resulting from weak scars of the abdominal wall due to a defect
caused by prior surgery. They are due to insufficient deposition of extracellular matrix
or inadequate cross-linking in the collagen matrix.
Tuesday, March 7, 2023 Ephraim Zulu - PATHOLOGY 29
30. Excessive Contraction
• A decrease in the size of a wound due to myofibroblasts is known as contraction.
An exaggeration of this contraction is termed contracture (cicatrisation) and
results in deformities of the wound and the surrounding tissues.
• Contracture is also said to arise as a result of late reduction in the size of the
wound.
• Consequences of contractures:
• – Compromise movements: for example, contractures that follow severe burns
can compromise the movement of the involved region and joint movements.
• – Obstruction: for example, in GI tract contracture (stricture) can cause
intestinal obstruction.

32. Excessive Scar Formation
• Excessive formation of the components of the repair process can result in:
• Hypertrophic scar: The accumulation of excessive amounts of extracellular matrix,
mostly collagen may give rise to a raised scar at the site of wound known as a
hypertrophic scar.
• They usually develop after thermal or traumatic injury, which involves the deep layers
of the dermis.
• Keloid: If the scar tissue grows/progress beyond the boundaries of the original
wound and does not regress, it is called a keloid. Thus, keloid is an exuberant scar that
recurs with still larger keloid after surgical excision.
• The cause is unknown and is thought to be due to lack of the proper
metalloproteinases (collagenases) to degrade type III collagen
