In this research work, the effectiveness of stainless steel sheet for the production of motor cycle exhaust muffler burn protector was investigated. Energy Dispersive X-Ray fluorescence method was used to determine the chemical composition of the stainless steel materials and exhaust muffler of the motor cycle. The stainless steel sheet was perforated and folded to frustum shape to achieve aero...

background and objectives: methicillin resistance staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) and coagulase negative staphylococci (mrcons) have recognized as the major cause of nosocomial infections that threat the burn patient’s life. the aims of this study were to determine the frequency of mrsa and mrcons and their antibiotic resistance patterns among burn patients in a burn center in ahvaz, iran. materia...

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 ...

Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common illness with an estimated incidence of 2–12 cases/1000 population per year. 2 The majority of cases of CAP are successfully managed outside hospital, but approximately 20% require hospital admission. Out of this group about 10% develop severe CAP and need treatment in an intensive care unit (ICU). The mortality of these patients can exceed 50%, and...

The co-existence of an extensive burn with a systemic disease negatively affects the outcome of the burn as well as the progress of the disease. A case report is presented regarding a 70-yr-old female patient with 45% total body surface area burns and ulcerative colitis under treatment. The outcome of the burns is described and it is pointed out that the healing process of the burns and the rem...

in vitro evaluation of ceftazidime antimicrobial activity in infections caused by burn and its comparison to the other antibiotics is presented. in vitro tests for susceptibility to ceftazidime and other antibiotics were carried out on 744 bacterial strains collected from burn infections. the results have shown that generally ceftazidime was more active against pseudomollas aeruginosa and other...

BACKGROUND Therapeutic effects of various treatment options in burn wound healing have been one of the most controversial issues in wound care. Aloe Vera is an herbal medicine, which has wound healing effects on chronic wound. The present study was carried out to examine and compare the effect of Aloe Vera gel and nitrofurazone 2% on epithelialization and granulation tissue formation with respe...

BACKGROUND Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as an important cause of infection in burn patients. This study aimed to characterize the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern, determine the prevalence of oxacillinase and metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) genes, and type the A. baumannii isolates obtained from burn patients. METHODS During a 1-year period, a total of 40 nondupli...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to examine the postprandial calcium and phosphate concentrations after supplementation with pentacalcium hydroxy-triphosphate (CaP). METHODS Ten men participated in this double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study. The participants were divided into two groups. One group consumed bread enriched with CaP (plus 1 g calcium/d) and the other grou...
