Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Cancer

His main research concerns Surgery, Wound healing, Angiogenesis, Hypoxia and Inflammation. His Surgery research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Anesthesia, Oxygen tension, Perfusion and Intensive care medicine. His Wound healing study incorporates themes from Endocrinology, Vascular endothelial growth factor A, Internal medicine, Ischemia and Growth factor.

His Angiogenesis study combines topics in areas such as Extracellular, Cell biology, Macrophage and Immunology. The various areas that Thomas K. Hunt examines in his Hypoxia study include Respiratory burst, Carbohydrate metabolism, Biochemistry, Hyperoxia and Vascular endothelial growth factor. In his study, Cortisone, Open wounds and Inhibitory effect is inextricably linked to Vitamin, which falls within the broad field of Inflammation.

His most cited work include:

  • Human skin wounds: a major and snowballing threat to public health and the economy. (1590 citations)
  • Recombinant leptin for weight loss in obese and lean adults: a randomized, controlled, dose-escalation trial. (1214 citations)
  • Oxygen tension regulates the expression of angiogenesis factor by macrophages (597 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Thomas K. Hunt mainly focuses on Surgery, Wound healing, Anesthesia, Internal medicine and Oxygen tension. His Surgery research incorporates elements of Hypoxia and Intensive care medicine. In his research, Vascular endothelial growth factor, Cell biology and Immunology is intimately related to Angiogenesis, which falls under the overarching field of Wound healing.

His study looks at the relationship between Anesthesia and fields such as Perfusion, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His Internal medicine study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Endocrinology and Cardiology. His study in Oxygen tension is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Subcutaneous tissue and Anatomy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Surgery (39.39%)
  • Wound healing (28.03%)
  • Anesthesia (15.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2017)?

  • Wound healing (28.03%)
  • Surgery (39.39%)
  • Angiogenesis (9.09%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Wound healing, Surgery, Angiogenesis, Anesthesia and Cell biology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hypoxia, Gerontology, Inflammation, Pathology and Growth factor. His Surgery research incorporates themes from Internal medicine, Supplemental oxygen and Intensive care medicine.

His studies in Angiogenesis integrate themes in fields like Endocrinology, Vascular endothelial growth factor and Anatomy. His research integrates issues of Oxygen tension and Perfusion in his study of Anesthesia. His studies deal with areas such as Tissue oxygen and Subcutaneous tissue as well as Oxygen tension.

Between 2000 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Human skin wounds: a major and snowballing threat to public health and the economy. (1590 citations)
  • Dermal Wound Healing Is Subject to Redox Control (320 citations)
  • Hyperoxia and angiogenesis. (161 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Cancer

Thomas K. Hunt mainly investigates Wound healing, Surgery, Hypoxia, Vascular endothelial growth factor and Angiogenesis. Borrowing concepts from Engineering ethics, Thomas K. Hunt weaves in ideas under Wound healing. His Surgery study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Anesthesia and Biomedical engineering.

The concepts of his Hypoxia study are interwoven with issues in Patient factors, Hyperoxia, Surgical wound and Oxygen tension. His Vascular endothelial growth factor study also includes

  • Cell biology which intersects with area such as Immunology, Biochemistry, Cytokine and Growth factor,
  • Matrigel, which have a strong connection to Molecular biology, Autocrine signalling and Thioredoxin. Thomas K. Hunt interconnects Extracellular and Endocrinology in the investigation of issues within Angiogenesis.
