n the text Active Implants and Scaffolds for Tissue Regeneration edited by Meital Zilberman, the authors state, "Successful wound healing requires a moist environment" They describe two important parameters, water uptake ability of the bandage and the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of the water through the bandage. They state an amount of WVTR to be 2000 - 2500 g/m2 per day. Look up information on Water Vapor transmission rates and describe how it relates to diffusion that you learned about in class. Find out what materials are appropriate for wound dressings and what kinds of diffusion rates these materials have.

Expert Solution

A dressing with a WVTR value of approximately 2028.3 g/m2 would maintain the optimum moisture content for the proliferation and function of epidermal cells and thereby help in the healing of wound.

In Water vapour transmission, by capillary action the water condenses in small pores on the high relative humidity side and the migration proceeds automatically towards the region of low concentration on the low relative humidity side and thereby diffusion occurs.

The materials appropriate for wound dressing are HP( higj permeability) PU membrane having WVTR of about 3282 g/m2 per day ,MP( medium permeable) membrane having a WVTR of 2028.3 g/m2 per day.

Edited****There is not a case study. This is the question in the text.********* This question is in reference to the healthcare industry. Briefly describe what happens to each of the following as volume increases. Assume all values stay within their relevant range. Total fixed cost? Total variable cost? Fixed cost per unit? Variable cost per unit? Explain the relationship between step-fixed costs and the relevant range. References would be a bonus! This question is found on page 448 in Financial...

n chapter four of the text, the authors present eight different topics that have been subject to some type of criminal law reform. Some of them are established reforms; others are still changing with the times. Select one of the eight topics presented in the text, and answer the following questions in the form of an essay: What caused the perceived need for the law or change in the law? If laws were passed was the goal they intended to...

Tissue regeneration is an emerging and exciting biomedical field. As a scientist, choose either an adult stem cell population or embryonic stem cells as a model system to develop a technique for growing artificial limbs in culture. Be sure to explain why you chose your particular stem cell and the drawbacks associated with the one that you did not choose for your experiments.
