Areas on the abdomen of the same guinea pig were exposed to suberythemal doses of soft X-rays, to heat of an intensity below the critical dose for the production of burns, and to both radiations in sequence with various time intervals between the exposures. The only effect of exposure to X-ray or heat alone was a slight scaling of the skin. The areas exposed to heat and X-radiation developed we...

Exertional heat illness typically occurs over hours in younger athletic patients or military recruits who exercise at elevated temperatures for a sufficient period of time to cause the rate of heat production to exceed the capacity of the body to dissipate heat. Since the physiological response to exercise includes cutaneous vasodilation and sweating, any limitation of such a response can cause...

Background: The skin of newborns is very thin and sensitive to burns. In this age group, the mortality rate is very high. Burns account for approximately 2 million injuries annually in the United States alone out of which 500,000 cases need medical treatment and 100,000 cases require hospitalization. This study aimed to determine the incidence and magnitude of the injury, mortality rate, and ca...

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...

Extensive thermal injuries in horses can be difficult to manage. The large surface of the burn dramatically increases the potential for loss of fluids,electrolytes, and calories. Burns are classified by the depth of injury: first-degree burns involve only the most superficial layers of the epidermis;second-degree burns involve the entire epidermis and can be superficial or deep; third-degree bu...

Background: Burns are one of the most common and devastating forms trauma in life. Patients with serious thermal injury require immediate specialized care order to minimize morbidity mortality. Thermal creates a breach surface skin. It is difficult evaluate effects burn on serum levels vitamin D metabolites because binding proteins for 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D), main circulating form vitamin,...

Purpose:Human amniotic fluid contains several growth factors and hyaluronic acid. It has positive effect in healing the tendon, nerve bone injuries. Human membrane effects on is also used for skin burns complex wounds. We hypothesized that human have stimulating fracture healing. The aim of this study to investigate rat tibial model.
