Breast deformity, in post-burn patients, is a common problem leading to lower self-esteem and reclusive behavior that impairs quality of life. The authors present the course of treatment of an 18-year-old immigrant girl who suffered second- to third-degree burns over approximately 20% of her total body surface area in her early childhood. The second- to third-degree burns were located on her ri...

materials and methods in this study, 90 patients with second-degree burn injuries who were admitted to the yazd burn hospital were randomly divided into three equal groups. in the negative control group, the wounds were covered with sterile vaseline gauze followed by double sterile dry gauze and ultimately bandaged. in the test group, the wounds were covered by an iranian hydrogel sheet (irgel)...

The epidemiological pattern and risk factors of burns and burn infections varies widely in different parts of the world. This study aims to determine the epidemiologic pattern of burn injuries and possible risk factors associated with burn infections in burn units of Gaza strip hospitals. A total of 118 patients were included in the study. The data collected included: patient age and gender, th...

Optical assessment of skin burns is possible with second-harmonic-generation (SHG) microscopy due to its high sensitivity to thermal denaturation of collagen molecules. In contrast to previous studies that were performed using excised tissue specimens ex vivo, in vivo observation of dermal collagen fibers in living rat burn models with SHG microscopy is demonstrated. Changes in signal vanishing...

IIB Degree-burn takes longer to heal because only a small epithelium component remains. It requires topical agent that can accelerate the wound healing process. One of signs is increased collagen formation as an extracellular matrix produced by fibroblast in proliferative phase. This study aimed prove effect Robusta coffee extract gel on increasing number fibroblasts and density degree-burn tre...
