The management of burns within the first hours of injury has a significant impact on mortality and morbidity. In case of burns disasters, most patients are managed by non-burn practitioners. The knowledge held by our local family physicians is thought to be representative of that of non-burn practitioners, as they had not partaken in any courses or training on burn management beyond graduation....

Patient 1: A 1-year-and-3-month-old boy suffered a burn injury extending from the left forearm to hand due to boiling water. An extensive skin defect from the left forearm to the dorsum of the hand was observed, and an IIb-III degree burn was diagnosed.

T he natural history of serious burns is characterized by burn shock, which is usually lethal to those with large burns during the first few postinjury days, burn wound sepsis, which commonly kills those who survive burn shock during the first few postinjury weeks, and postburn deformity in those who survive to heal their wounds by contraction and epithelialization. Each of these issues has bee...

The morbidity and mortality of burn victims increase when burn injury is combined with smoke inhalation. The goal of the present study was to develop a murine model of burn and smoke inhalation injury to more precisely reveal the mechanistic aspects of these pathological changes. The burn injury mouse group received a 40% total body surface area third-degree burn alone, the smoke inhalation inj...

background burn is still one of the most devastating injuries in emergency medicine while improvements in wound healing knowledge and technology have resulted into development of new dressings. this study was undertaken to evaluate the healing effect of licorice in pseudomonas aeruginosa infected burn wounds of experimental rat model. methods one hundred and twenty female sprague-dawley rats we...

A 2-year-and-4-month-old girl suffered a burn to the neck due to boiling water. She was examined at another hospital, and recommended to undergo dermatoplasty. Thirteen days after injury, she consulted our hospital. A wide skin defect was observed around the neck, and a third-degree burn was diagnosed.

Background: To investigated the effect of earthworm extract (EE) on deep second-degree burn wound healing process.

BACKGROUND Significant consequences of severe burn include skeletal muscle atrophy and heterotopic ossification (HO). The cellular mechanisms underlying either of these conditions are not known. Whether the functionality of satellite cells stem cells resident in skeletal muscle is affected by changes in circulatory factors following burn was determined to better understand their role in atrophy...

BACKGROUND Treatment of extraordinarily large deep burns remains a huge clinical challenge. CASE REPORT This article is a summary of our experience with the treatment of a patient with an extraordinarily large deep burn (99.5% TBSA and 23% fourth degree burn) by using the "microskin autografting and alloskin repeated grafting" method to close the deep burn wound because of scarcity of skin so...
