objective- to evaluate the application of carbomer 940 hydrogel on saving zone of stasis in skin burn wound. design- experimental study animals- twenty rats. procedures- after shaving the backs, a ‘comb burn’ was contacted bilaterally on the dorsum of the rats 0.5 cm lateral and parallel to the midline by using a brass probe consisting of four rows (10×20 mm) and three interspaces (5×20 mm). al...

background numerous studies were carried out to develop more sophisticated dressings to expedite healing processes and diminish the bacterial burden in burn wounds. this study assessed the healing effect of nettle extract on second degree burns wound in rats in comparison with silver sulfadiazine and vaseline. methods forty rats were randomly assigned to four equal groups. a deep second-degree ...

INTRODUCTION Managing burn injury-associated pain and wounds is a major unresolved clinical problem. Opioids, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antidepressants and anticonvulsants remain the most common forms of analgesic therapy to treat burn patients. However, prolonged treatment with these drugs leads to dose escalation and serious side effects. Additionally, severe burn wounds c...

Basic experiments have demonstrated that the effect of wound healing in moist environments is better than that in dry environments; therefore, research on moist dressing is the focus of wound healing research. 42 burn patients receiving treatment in Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital were selected as experimental cases. Wound surface is divided into treatment group and control group using a s...

Allograft dressings to control Pseudomonas wound infections in rats were studied on surgical wounds and escharectomized burn wounds. The effects of allografts were compared with a collagen sheet (Aviderm) and a synthetic dressing, polyhydroxyethylmethacrylate (Hydron), formed on the wound by mixing the polymer and the solvent. The results indicated that infections in surgical wounds were more e...

OBJECTIVES Burn injury is one of the most health-threatening problems in the world. Malva sylvestris (M. sylvestris) flowers have a high mucilage content and are used as a remedy for cut wound and dermal infected wounds in Iranian folklore Medicine. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of M. sylvestris cream on the second degree burn injury in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fi...

Partial thickness burns can advance to full thickness after initial injury due to inadequate tissue perfusion and increased production of inflammatory cytokines, which has been referred to as burn wound progression. In previous work, we demonstrated that a keratin biomaterial hydrogel appeared to reduce burn wound progression. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that a modified kerat...

BACKGROUND Significant blood loss continues to plague early tangential excision of the burn wound. Although various techniques to reduce intraoperative blood loss have been described, there is an absence of uniformity and consistency in their application. Furthermore, it is unclear whether these techniques compromise intraoperative tissue assessment and wound outcome. The purpose of this study ...

Background. US soldiers injured in Iraq, and civilian burn trauma patients are treated at the US Army Institute of Surgical Research. Burn patients experience extrem pain during wound care, and they typically receive opioid analgesics and anxiolytics for debridement. Virtual Reality (VR) has been applied as an adjunct to opioid analgesics for procedural pain. We describe the first use of ketami...

Various types of wound care products abound for the treatment of burn injuries. Most of these products are rather expensive and beyond the means of many patients in poorer countries. This poses a challenge to burn care workers in these environments and calls for the adoption of practical solutions with the use of less expensive and readily available alternatives. The aim of this study is to rev...
