A preventable subgroup of motor vehicle injuries is burns from motor-vehicle radiators. Such burns can have a significant impact on return to work and patient psychological wellbeing.1 These injuries are commonly scald burns, often occurring following attempts to remove the lid of a hot radiator with high pressure or explosion of the radiator. This results in a spray of superheated fluid and st...

Burns from domestic electric irons are a potentially preventable injury which can result in considerable morbidity. Surface temperatures of electric irons can reach in excess of 200 ̊C, meaning that contact for even brief periods can cause a significant thermal injury. Several previous studies have described contact burns from irons in paediatric populations 7 and have discussed various methods ...

Nowadays, communication technologies are widely available in our everyday lives. The United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies (ITU) estimates that there are almost seven billion mobile phones worldwide.

Burn care has an important role in the history of Plastic Surgery; requirements of burn and scar treatment have formed the basis of the development of most of the techniques that constitute Plastic Surgery core knowledge. While deeper understanding of burns physiology helped greatly to reduce mortality and improve outcomes in the acute burn phase, scar revision and postoperative management are ...

The management of blast-related burn injuries is complex due to the nature of the mechanism involved. Most studies have been conducted in the Middle East, where patients were victims of war or terror attacks. These patients were managed mostly in a military medical setting, better equipped with a protocol-driven philosophy to cope with polytrauma and concurrent burns.1,2 There is limited Englis...
