Is the rate of wound healing increased in psoriasis?
Wound healing is significantly accelerated in psoriasis compared to normal. Immunohistochemistry showed that the relative intensity of strong immunostaining for subunits of the NMDAR is altered in the basal cell layer in psoriatic skin compared to normal controls. We suggest that these alterations may contribute to the increased rate of wound healing in psoriasis.
Ultrasound-guided cannulation of the internal jugular or femoral vein by inexperienced residents appears to be more reliable than the LM or UM methods and was associated with a lower mechanical complication rate among ICU patients.
