Background: There is no consensus regarding the timing of surgery in children with smaller burn size, specifically deep dermal burns. Delayed has risks terms infection and delayed wound healing. Early also removal potentially viable tissue. Our aim was to investigate effect surgical intervention on size area operated time Methods: A retrospective analysis for all (<18 years) <20% body sur...

Although electrical energy is one of the best and cleanest energy sources, the proper protection and utilization of it, always and everywhere is problematic. One of the most important problems is electric shock and the dangers that can sometimes be lost in the lives of people. When a body or part of it is completely located in a strong power supply field or a contact with a device that is conne...

Background: The timely diagnosis of burns depth is crucial to avoid unnecessary surgery and delays in adequate management patients with burn injuries. Whilst it mostly a clinical diagnosis, indocyanine green, laser Doppler imaging infrared thermography have been used alongside findings support the diagnosis. Infrared noninvasive technique which uses temperature differences diagnose tissue depth...

T he natural history of serious burns is characterized by burn shock, which is usually lethal to those with large burns during the first few postinjury days, burn wound sepsis, which commonly kills those who survive burn shock during the first few postinjury weeks, and postburn deformity in those who survive to heal their wounds by contraction and epithelialization. Each of these issues has bee...

Under normal conditions, the skin has a mean pH of 5.5, kept constant by the skin’s pH regulating barrier function. Variations tending towards higher or lower values are rapidly brought into line with the base value. This barrier function is efficacious at the age intervals between early infancy (6 months to 1 year) and advancing age (65-70 years). Prior to this interval and subsequent to it, t...
