'PAR' in PAR 20 or PAR 50 is an acronym standing for Parabolic Aluminized Reflector. This name refers to the construction of the PAR bulb. The bulb traditionally features a tungsten filament surrounded by a reflector with an aluminum coating (hence aluminized). The reflector intensifies the beam and makes it more efficient.
Toe necrosis; Toe ischemia; Amputation; Dry gangrene Abstract Toe necrosis may have vast different etiologies. These include ischemia, embolus, and others. (1) The most common etiology is ischemia. It is a reduction in blood supply to a viable tissue that can lead to susceptibility to infection and tissue death. Peripheral ischemia, which is rooted in the
This lack of signalling makes it harder for the immune system to locate and recycle dead cells which have died through necrosis than if the cell had undergone apoptosis. The release of intracellular content after cellular membrane damage is the cause of inflammation in necrosis. There are many causes of necrosis including injury, infection, cancer, infarction, toxins and inflammation. Severe damage to one essential system in the cell leads to secondary damage to other systems, a so-called cascade of effects. Necrosis can arise from lack of proper care to a wound site.
