4229. HEALTHCARE. ActiGraft use in healing the wound of two amputated toes of a 75-year-old man.

 4229. HEALTHCARE. ActiGraft use in healing the wound of the stump of foot after two amputated toes were removed in a 75-year-old man.

24 Oct 2023. I visited 75-year-old man in Ward 1, Bed 125 of Thye Hua Kwan Hospital today. He was in a room with 7 other rehabilitating men, mostly diabetics. His gangrenous toe (middle) was amputated in Tan Tock Seng Hospital 2 weeks ago.

The wound of the stump will take at least 4 months to heal, with the usual dressing and suction of the debris of the wound. The doctor recommended ActiGraft. One box costs S$400 and he had used 3 boxes.
So far, he is on the 3rd box. I will update later as it is too early to know whether ActiGraft will lead to healing of the diabetic stump earlier than 4 months (one patient in similar situation had told him). 

I have uploaded the unedited videos for those who are interested in this ActiGraft healing of the wound.

As this man lives alone in his HDB one-room flat, I advised him to get a live-in domestic migrant worker to help him to exercise and cook.

Also he had to phone another 3 maid agencies himself to get the quotations rather than leaving it to his sister who had recommended one agency dealing with Myanmar maids and would want a $5,000 deposit from him. He preferred to live independently, but he lives alone and it is best to get some help for the first year or two.


--------------

How ActiGraft Pro® System Works

Derived from your patient’s own blood, the ActiGraft Pro® whole blood clot is embedded with essential wound healing elements such as red blood cells, macrophages, platelets, proteins, clotting factors, minerals, electrolytes and dissolved gasses, bound within a natural fibrin scaffold. Once applied to the wound site, ActiGraft Pro reactivates the body’s natural healing cascade and serves as a protective covering that supports the body’s healing process, accelerating your patient’s road to recovery.

Good health (clean waters of the storm water canal) is due to a government who cares, execute and enforce no waste disposal into canals many years ago. Hence now we see fishes in this canal, not dead chicken and garbage. Good health of a person begins with daily sustainable health care for yourself.

 PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS. Leafy plants at 2.45pm sunlight. Use AV Mode.

This young ornamental leafy plant suffers a lot of health conditions by living next to a busy Handy Road going to Plaza Singapura. Car exhaust dirt stick onto its leaves, causing black and brown spots and lines (photoshopped out) and broken leaves. Possibly regular pesticide damage to its leaves by anti-dengue fever fogging. It is a struggle for it to maintain the integrity of its leaves.

I saw it earlier but it hopped off the leaves.
Later, I looked under leaves. It looked at me. A tripod is needed to take sharp photos. Hand-held photos were blurry.

The Nisitrus malaya is a true cricket. It is very careful about photographers/people. I happened to look under leaves and saw it watching me. Look at close up of photo. It has "eyebrows" in the cornea!

Without a tripod, it is impossible to get a sharp image as focal length of spider is more than 105mm away. It hides under the leaf if I get too close.



SINGAPORE - 17 OCT 2023: 9am. A jumping spider, likely to be Phidippus carolinensis, is seen on the leaf of a potted lime plant in a house garden in Lentor Plain.

 PHOTOGRAPHY - Flying lime butterfly. Use TV, 1/1600 sec, AUTO ISO

 

 Lime Butterfly, Lentor Plain house lime plant. 16 Oct 2023, 1 pm

Searching for a lime leaf to lay eggs. Canon R5, TV, ISO 500, 1/1600 sec, f/4.5, 105mm.  

This lime butterfly has her right hind wing torn away earlier. But she positions herself such that my photo looks good as if she has complete left and right wings! She is looking for a leaf to lay her eggs. My Chinese New Year lime plant is still around - maybe she is checking the leaves in the neighbourhood first, before laying eggs.


Connection with Nature is good for mental wellness. Nature sometimes show you the beauty of creations, in this case, the lime butterfly visited me and let me photograph her good undamaged left wings, with the torn right hind wing hidden. I rushed to get the camera. She was present for 2 to 3 flights and then disappeared.  I took a series of shots and got 2 good ones.
