Abstract by François Berthiaume and Henry C Hsia (USA - Annu Rev Biomed Eng.).
Debridement: How Deep Is Too Deep? - Woundsource.com
Debridement is the process of removing nonviable tissue and foreign objects (such as glass or shrapnel) from a wound bed to help the wound heal. Decaying tissue can trap bacteria and lead to a harmful infection. In extreme situations, gangrene, which is the death of body tissue resulting from a lack of appropriate blood flow or in response to a severe bacterial infection, can even occur. Debridement is thus critical to effective wound management.

Article by Cheryl Carver.
Although drugs are well known for their significant impact on all body organs (liver, bladder, stomach, and kidneys), various physical manifestations of drug use are often unknown or underrecognized. Many clinicians and even dermatologists fail to see the many symptoms of drug misuse in the skin. Skin lesions caused by substance use may be induced by the drug itself, an allergic reaction, the drug administration method, or any contaminants or infectious agents that may have been mixed in with the drug. It is possible to identify substance users based on the shape and pattern of their skin conditions. Clinicians can learn these signs to better help patients.
