It all depends on were the person is shot, what caliber of round. But it could range from seconds to days. There are a good number of people that lead normal lives after receiving gun shot wounds to the head.
Kentucky coffee tree takes a long time to germinate because of the thick seed head. If you take a file, score the seed head and it will sprout faster. This is called scarification.
The time it takes for soft tissue to regenerate after a wide excision can vary depending on the individual, the extent of the excision, and overall health. Typically, it can take several weeks to months for the wound to heal completely and for new tissue to form. Following post-operative care instructions and keeping the wound clean can help promote proper healing and regeneration of tissue.
The formation of eschar can vary depending on the wound type, but it typically takes around 3 to 5 days after the initial injury. Eschar is a thick, dry, hard crust that forms over a wound as part of the healing process. If you notice any signs of infection or prolonged healing, it's important to seek medical attention.
In the case of a stab wound to the abdomen, first you wear a globe and explore the wound with a finger, the smaller the wound , the more suspicious I would be...this could be a deep, deep stab, maybe with an ice breaker. I will send it to routine X-Ray and Operation Room for an exploratory abdominal laparotomy and exploration to see if there is any internal organ wounded or if there is any hemorrhage, after we have review the content of the abdominal cavity and nothing is bleeding, or I don't see any wounds . I will take blood smears and cultures of the abdominal fluid. Lets close the incision. I will leave a temporary drainage through the wound stab (Penrose made of latex-like material) and wait to see what kind of material is coming out. Patient goes to ICU for post-op follow up.
To determine how long it would take for someone driving at 80 mph to overtake someone driving at 50 mph with a 1-hour head start, first calculate the distance the slower car travels in that hour: 50 miles. After the head start, the faster car is closing the gap at a rate of 30 mph (80 mph - 50 mph). To cover the 50-mile gap at this rate, it would take the faster car approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes (or 1.67 hours) to overtake the slower car.
The lip balm? I'm going to say quite a while.
Need more information, like: 1- Where on the body did the bullet hit? 2- What was the bullet's trajectory? 3- What caliber was the bullet? A shot to the head in which both hemispheres of the brain are damaged will probably be fatal, eventually. If the brainstem is intact, heart & breathing can continue for quite a while. If the brainstem is damaged, heart rate & breathing will likely stop. Cells in the body will begin dying within minutes. A shot to the heart/aorta/pulmonary artery could take a few minutes to lose consciousness. Several more minutes to exsanguinate (bleed out). A wound to the arm or leg that misses a major artery may not be fatal. Infection could kill several weeks after the gunshot.
how long the sweelng in the lower lims will continue after the trauma of a strong flesh wound has been suffered
The time it takes for a gunshot wound to travel from the thigh to the heel can vary significantly based on multiple factors such as the type of firearm, bullet caliber, distance, and the angle of the shot. Generally, a bullet can travel at speeds ranging from 800 to 1,200 feet per second. Therefore, if the distance between the thigh and heel is approximately 2 feet, it could take just a fraction of a second for a bullet to traverse that distance. However, it's important to note that the actual impact and consequences of such a wound would be immediate and potentially life-threatening, requiring urgent medical attention.
The healing time for a leg gunshot wound can vary significantly based on several factors, including the severity of the injury, the type of treatment received, and the individual's overall health. Generally, superficial wounds may take a few weeks to heal, while more severe injuries involving bones, nerves, or vessels can take months or even longer. Rehabilitation may also be necessary to regain full function. Always consult a medical professional for specific cases.
An automobile accident or a gunshot wound, for example, can cause severe facial trauma that may require multiple surgical procedures and a considerable amount of time to heal.
Abdominal wound and bowel can be seen in the wound. what action would you take?
Depending on the depth and width, it could take up to three months.
A maggot infestation can occur in a wound within hours to a few days, depending on the size and depth of the wound, as well as environmental conditions such as warmth and moisture. Maggots are attracted to decaying tissue and can quickly colonize open wounds if proper wound care is not maintained.
If the wound is not deep and not penetrated to damage the internal organs, it should heal in about 3 weeks
If it's a simple wound, it would take about two weeks. It infection is involved, or if nerves and blood vessels require repair, it could take quite a bit longer.
it depends upon how deep the wound is and area, skin conditions, and type of injury
