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...

Burn treatment is an area of major importance in medicine, however, there is not currently an analytic method to determine the depth and magnitude of burns. Complications, such as a relative lack of knowledge of the specific thermal properties of skin and the relation between heat transfer and biological processes, have prevented a comprehensive model to explain the field of bioheat transfer. R...

Over the last 50 years, the evolution of burn care has led to a significant decrease in mortality. The biggest impact on survival has been the change in the approach to burn surgery. Early excision and grafting has become a standard of care for the majority of patients with deep burns; the survival of a given patient suffering from major burns is invariably linked to the take rate and survival ...

the purpose of this study was the utilization of different methods of tissue culture in proliferation of epithelial cells and autologous graft to cover surface areas without skin specifically, which is due to thermal burns more than 50%. in this experience we performed from rabbits and success to cover almost 24 times original donor site with autograft.

Introduction Inhalation injury (ini) makes burn disease more severe. However, it remains unexplored what is the minimum area of that can significantly aggravate course ini. The objective was to compare incidence acute respiratory failure (arf), pneumonia, and mortality between patients with ini superficial skin burns up 3% total body surface (tbsa). Material methods 125 i–ii degree tbsa were al...

Hairdressing-related burns are preventable and therefore each case is one too many. We report a unique case of a 16-yr-old girl who suffered full-thickness chemical and thermal burns to the nape of her neck and superficial burns to the occiput after her hair had been dyed blond and placed under a dryer to accelerate the highlighting procedure. The wound on the nape of the neck required surgical...
