The Medical Research Council Burns and Industrial Injuries Unit at the Birmingham Accident Hospital pioneered civilian burn care and research in the United Kingdom during the post-war years. A photographic archive has been discovered that documents this period from 1945 to 1975. The aim of this project was to sort, digitize and archive the images in a secure format for future reference. The pho...

INTRODUCTION Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a key regulator in phosphate and vitamin D metabolism When measured with c-terminal assay, it has been shown to be increased following burn. Progress in understanding FGF23 physiology has emphasized the importance of assessing the intact form of FGF23. METHODS The present cohort study is a complementary analysis of a previously published wor...

The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the healing efficacy of lyophilized aqueous leaf extract of Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L., family Elaeagnaceae) (SBT) and to explore its possible mechanism of action on experimental burn wounds in rats. The SBT extract, at various concentrations, was applied topically, twice daily for 7 days. Treatment with silver sulfadiazine (SSD) ...

Chemical burns represent a small proportion of cutaneous burn with an incidence of up to 10.7%, but have been reported to account for up to 30% of all burn deaths. A review of the literature shows incidences ranging from 2.4% to 10.7%, with a substantial predominance in males. Adult patients with a burn referred to our Regional Burns Centre, over an eight-year period, were identified. 185 chemi...

background: general practitioners are the first who visit burn patients and they first calculate burn size and required fluid for the patient. error in calculation can be disastrous. the purpose of this study is to compare four methods of estimating burn size to teach students. methods: this is a descriptive-analytic study on 37 medical students. four methods of estimating burn percentage was t...

Most mild burns may be treated well in an outpatient environment and recover with little intervention. An precise categorization of is essential to ensuring effective treatment. Any non-superficial burn should a topical antibiotic avoid infection. Although partial full-thickness frequently require dressings, superficial typically do not. Especially emergency situation, simple gauze patch offers...

INTRODUCTION Reported first aid application, frequency and practices around the world vary greatly. Based primarily on animal and observational studies, first aid after a burn injury is considered to be integral in reducing scar and infection, and the need for surgery. The current recommendation for optimum first aid after burn is water cooling for 20 minutes within three hours. However, compli...
