contrasting features of:
dry gangrene ;commonly limbs are affected sites(distal part due to ischemia)arterial occlusion is the mechanism.
macroscopically the organ affected is dry, shrunken and black.
putrefaction is limited due to very little blood supply.
line of demarcation is present at the junction between healthy and gangrenous part.
bacteria fail to survive.
prognosis generally better due to little septicaemia.
causes are arteriosclerosis, thromboangitis obliterans, Raynaud's disease, trauma, ergot poisoning.
wet gangrene;naturally occurs in moist tissues and organs such as mouth, bowel, lung, cervix, vulva etc.most commonly venous obstruction, less often arterial occlusion.
macroscopically the part is moist, soft, swollen, rotten and dark.
putrefaction is markedd due to stuffing of organ with blood.
no clear line of demarcation.
numerous bacterial present.
prognosis is generally poor due to profound toxaemia.
There is three different types which are wet,dry,gas(:
Dry gangrene doesn't
dry;not moist, but you can make it wet, but it is dry.
Early signs of dry gangrene include aching pain, the changing of skin color, cool skin and skin ulcers. Dry gangrene happens when tissue death is caused by the loss of blood supply.
Moist gangrene may occur in the toes, feet, or legs after a crushing injury or as a result of some other factor that causes blood flow to the area to suddenly stop. When blood flow ceases, bacteria begin to invade the muscle and thrive.

Dry gangrene is not typically fatal on its own, as it is a slow-progressing condition where living tissue dies gradually due to reduced blood flow. However, if left untreated, dry gangrene can lead to serious complications such as infection, which can become life-threatening. It is important to seek medical attention promptly to prevent further complications.
