The pattern of injury seen in pediatric hand burns differs from adults because scald burns are most common. Many of these are difficult to assess at initial presentation. In addition, children develop less stiffness in response to immobilization. For these reasons, we have developed a conservative, expectant approach for treating most pediatric hand burns. Meticulous wound care, positioning, sp...

this study was conducted to determine the causes and outcomes of burn in patients referred to shahid mohammadi hospital in bandar abbass, southern iran, in which 212 burned patients were assessed from march 2007 to march 2008 .mean age of patients was 22.14 yr. heat contact was the main cause of burn with 92.5%. 49.1% of total burns occurred among less than 20 yr old people. mortality rate was ...

In burn patients, scar contractures adjacent to or across the joints lead to disabling deformities. In Dupuytren's disease, the proliferative process involves the fascia of the palm and fingers, resulting in disabling flexion contractures of the fingers and the palm. A single insult involving the hand or even a more proximal injury may lead to Dupuytren's disease.

BACKGROUND This experiment was performed to compare the effects of Phenytoin (PHT) and Hypericin (HP) cream on healing of burn wounds in rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty rats were divided into 3 groups and second-degree burn wounds were created. The burn wounds in the first, second, and third groups were covered twice daily with PHT cream, HP cream, and saline (control), respectively. At the...

Attention is drawn to a particularly dangerous party activity. Balloons filled with lighter gas so as to float are used for party decorations. A case of hand burn caused by accidentally lighting such a balloon with a cigarette is reported. The method is strongly advised against, it is a much better idea to use helium for such purposes.

Antimicrobial therapy remains to be the most important method of wound infection treatment. Systemically administered antimicrobials may not achieve therapeutic level in wound. On the other hand, in the absence of surgical debridement (due to any reason), most topically applied antimicrobials cannot penetrate the wound in therapeutic amount due to the presence of eschar. Burn eschar is a protei...
