MEBO and hot bitumen burns.
Moist exposed burn ointment (MEBO) is a fairly recent addition to the English burn literature for the local treatment of the burn wound. MEBO espouses the concept of wound healing in a moist environment by avoiding desiccation of the fragile burned areas. Though MEBO is as effective as conventional management, it is not the panacea for all burn wounds [1]. While using MEBO in the treatment of p...
متن کاملHot bitumen burns: 92 hospitalized patients.
Bitumen burns while comprising a small percentage of all types of burns are troublesome. They affect persons engaged in gainful employment which the burns then curtail, as well as requiring special attention because the substance adheres to the skin and is therefore difficult to remove. Ninety-two consecutive patients with such burns who were admitted as in-patients over a 10-year period (1985-...
متن کاملPharmacological modulation of wound healing in experimental burns.
Factors involved in wound healing and their interdependence are not yet fully understood; nevertheless, new prospects for therapy to favor speedy and optimal healing are emerging. Reports about wound healing modulation by local application of simple and natural agents abound even in the recent literature, however, most are anecdotal and lack solid scientific evidence. We describe the effect of ...
متن کاملThe Human Bitumen Study
Recently, the Human Bitumen Study has been finished (Schlüter, 2011). Including 500 workers from more than 80 construction sites it represents the world-wide largest study on adverse health effects caused by bitumen. The study answers a question that has been controversially discussed since decades: Bitumen exposed workers do not show higher levels of DNA damage than unexposed individuals. On t...
متن کاملCooee bitumen: chemical aging.
We study chemical aging in "Cooee bitumen" using molecular dynamic simulations. This model bitumen is composed of four realistic molecule types: saturated hydrocarbon, resinous oil, resin, and asphaltene. The aging reaction is modelled by the chemical reaction: "2 resins → 1 asphaltene." Molecular dynamic simulations of four bitumen compositions, obtained by a repeated application of the aging ...
