Introduction: The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of four different concentrations of Aloe vera extract on healing of second degree burns in male Wistar rats. Materials and methods: By an experimental study 42 male Wistar rats were divided into 7 equal groups. The burn injury was made on the back of all rats, according to standard methods. The burned areas in the group1: were ...

One hundred and thirty-eight (138) patients, with five hundred and sixty-six (566) different burn sites with different degrees, severity and locations, were enrolled to a multicenter clinical trial at 25 study centers. The goal of this trial was to evaluate the efficacy of MEBO (Moist Exposed Burn Ointment) in the treatment of burn wound. Various parameters were studied including: (i) healing t...

Burns accounted for 4.4% of all injuries and 25.9% of all burns presenting to the hospital were admitted. Most patients (67.6%) were < 15 years old and 56.2% were male. The most frequ...

Background: Repairing the burn-injury induced cell death and improving wound healing are critical issues. Objectives: This study was focused on assessment of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)- recovered burn injury in vivo vitro models. Materials & Methods: In this study, we constructed animal models second-degree burns, showed that heating at 55 Celsius degree for 5 min caused skin cells to switch from...

AIM OF THE STUDY Occlusive dressings for second-degree hand burns in children must prevent infection and promote healing. For good management of analgesia, these treatments often require children to be hospitalized. Our goal was to find an alternative to conventional care protocol that would reduce the number of dressings and therefore the length of hospitalization. We report our experience wit...

A serious problem in emergency medicine is the correct evaluation of skin burn depth to make the appropriate choice of treatment. In clinical practice, there is no difficulty in classifying first- and third-degree burns correctly. However, differentiation between the IIa (superficial dermal) and IIb (deep dermal) wounds is problematic even for experienced practitioners. In this work, the use of...
