Healing Wound

Burn wounds are categorized among the most severe injuries an individual can experience1. These are one of the major health problems worldwide. Even in case of small burn it causes high economic burden on the family and the society. In burns, early recovery is considered as an integral part of the treatment, which is not in terms of healing wound only, but it is an overall process retrieval including physical activities, decreasing psychological problems and focus on cosmetic issue. It is evident that treatment must begin immediately after the injury and last up to months or even years2. Lack of emphasis on physical rehabilitation of burns patient is a source of concern and here I would like to draw your attention to the problems in case proper rehabilitation does not commence.

Early Debridement

Background: Non-healing wound is a commonly encountered entity with a broader effect on both the sufferer and the treating doctor. Time taken in healing these wound is directly related to financial loss as well as loss of working hours, thus ultimately increasing the financial burden. Chronic wound has devitalized tissue at the base which is barrier to cell migration and acts as supportive environment for bacterial growth. Considering the effect of devitalized tissue on wound healing there lies importance of debridement in wound management. Debridement is an effective technique to achieve desirable wound bed preparation by removing the dead and devitalized tissue. Hence a study was conducted at a rural hospital with main aim to assess role of surgical sharp debridement in non-healing wound in complete healing or preparing wound for further definitive treatment.Methods: The study was conducted at AVBRH Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha. Random 50 patients of non-healing ulcer were selected for the study. One group was of early debridement while other group of dressing with moist dressing only. Wound were assessed for healing, wound contraction, scar quality at regular intervals. They were assessed for duration of wound to heal completely/ get ready for further intervention like SSG/ Flaps, Cost of treatment and Time taken by the patient to return back to work.Results: 36% of patients in moist dressing group heal completely by 4 weeks while 56% of patients in debridement group heal completely by 4 weeks. Early recovery leads to early normalcy so less loss of wages and thus making the group cost effective.Conclusions: Early debridement was found to be an effective tool in wound healing in non-healing ulcers.

Advance Care

Abstract COVID has accelerated the science and practice of palliative care while creating a sense of urgency in advance care planning (ACP). Past palliative care principles and practices have been stressed to the breaking point, causing the need for new ACP approaches to elicit patient-and-family goals/values/preferences. In this presentation, two cases will be used to discuss pragmatic implications and real-world implementation strategies in the trenches of the major health care system disruptor of this generation. We will discuss access to documentation, immediacy and complexity of the decision-making process, provider impacts, role of the family, and even an upside to this crisis. This will include questions of ethics and equity. The first case involves an older man whose family disregarded his wishes, while the second case discusses the pitfalls and pearls when family cannot visit. These two cases highlight COVID’s impact on ACP and cause us to re-think its process and delivery.

Migration Industry

The aim of this article is to clarify the role of the organisations that support skilled migrants after a relocation, using the analytical concept of migration industry. The concept is used as a tool to explore the gap between the macro and the micro levels and by that stresses the crucial meso-level when it comes to conceptualizing (skilled) migration. I use 30 semi-directive interviews with skilled migrants and six interviews with key informants in the migration industry as a basis for the analysis, leading me to distinguish three main services at the heart of this industry. Each service is covered by distinct private actors: the basic needs of the family by relocation offices, the education of the children by international schools, and the careers of the partner by outplacement agencies.
