done by World Walk
and the Herculean efforts of Dr. Neil Donohue in making it all happen |
Neil Donohue, DPM founded a wonderful organization called
World Walk in 1997. A great amount of his time is dedicated to this worthwhile
organization. We would like to tell you a little bit about it. What is WORLD
WALK……? It is a non-profit, medical humanitarian organization providing
treatment and surgical training for diseases of the lower limb around the world. The goals of the
foundation are to provide surgery, training, patient and community education, in
severely underserved areas of the world with limited healthcare resources. World
Walk brings surgical teams to specific areas and teaches local health care
professionals to improve the care they provide in their own communities. The aim
of the foundation is to create hubs of self sufficient medical care in these
areas. Bravo, Dr. Donohue.
In his lecture, The Role of Bacteria and Their Toxins in Retarding Wound
Healing, Dr. Donohue discusses the role of bacteria in the development of the
non-healing, chronic wound. The presentation begins with a review of current
concepts of wound healing, specifically, the stages of wound healing,
angiogenesis, principles of limb preservation and a diagnostic and treatment
algorithm. With this information as background , the impact of bacteria on wound
healing is explained along with other related concepts including the bacterial
"continuum", critical colonization, bacterial toxins and finally, methods for
controlling the destructive effects of bacteria on the healing wound.
