UNLABELLED Oedema formation and changes in local blood flow are known phenomena in burns. The relationship between these two is not clearly described. The aim of this study was firstly to examine both the contents of red blood cells and tissue water in skin and subcutaneous fat after experimental burns of different depths in pigs, and secondly, to confirm our recent findings of the increased di...

Skin lesions suspected to have been caused by a burning cigarette require thorough diagnostic evaluation as to the mode of infliction. Accidental cigarette burns must be differentiated from injuries due to self-infliction or maltreatment. The typical categories are presented on the basis of the literature and exemplary cases from the authors' own study material. An intentional infliction must b...

Background: Burns are the second leading cause of death resulting from childhood injuries. It is estimated that there are approximately 3,000 pediatric deaths annually due to burns and probably three times as many disabling injuries. Liver is one of the major organs affected by thermal injury. Objective of the study was to measure liver enzymes and serum electrolytes. Results: In the present st...

Burns are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Vulnerable people such as children, the frail elderly, socially deprived at particular risk. Most burns caused by thermal injury to skin, but electrical chemical can be very severe. Fortunately, most minor superficial managed primary health care professionals. However, severe require in-hospital management from team surgeons other sp...

BACKGROUND Conventional wisdom and published reports suggest that children, particularly those younger than 48 months, have higher mortality rates after burns than young adults. However, coincident with refinements in resuscitation, operative techniques, and critical care, survival rates for children with burns seem to have improved. To document this change and to define current expectations, a...

Burns are considered one of the most common and shocking forms of trauma. Patients with serious thermal or electrical injury necessitate immediate specialized care to minimize morbidity and mortality. Electrical burns and burn injuries caused by fire, hot liquids, and contact with hot surfaces, have been recognized as a significant and major public health problem in most developing countries. B...

Burn injuries are common in children under 10 years of age. Thermal injury is the most common mechanism of injury and scalds account for >60% of such injuries. All children with burns will experience pain, regardless of the cause, size, or burn depth. Undertreated pain can result in noncompliance with treatment and, consequently, prolonged healing. It is acknowledged that the monitoring and rep...

The paper considers an urgent problem - providing premedical care to victims in case of various burns by rescuers (police, specialists emergency medical services and disaster medicine, the State Emergency Service, etc.) conditions hostilities during full-scale invasion aggressor country's troops.
 aspect concept is revealed, their types (thermal, electric, chemical, solar) are characterize...

Burns are skin lesions determined by the thermal energy of heat transfer with cellular protein denaturation. Although infrequent during pregnancy, they can be fatal for both mother and fetus. The outcome depends on factors related to burns themselves, such as depth percentage body surface burned. that affect more than 20% cause systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) acute respiratory di...
