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...

Hydrofluoric acid (HF) causes a unique chemical burn. Much of the current treatment knowledge of HF burns is derived from case reports, small case series, animal studies and anecdotal evidence. The management can be challenging because clinical presentation and severity of these burns vary widely. Plastic surgeons managing burn patients must have a basic understanding of the pathophysiology, th...

Nowadays, communication technologies are widely available in our everyday lives. The United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies (ITU) estimates that there are almost seven billion mobile phones worldwide. Damage caused by radiation emitted from mobile phones is well known. Acute burns can be caused, albeit rarely, by the explosion of the lithium battery in ...

A multigrid strategy is developed for accelerating the steady state computations of waves propagating with curvature depedent speeds. This will allow the rapid computation of a "burn table". In a high explosive material, the creation of a burn table will allow the elimination of solving chemical reaction ODEs and feed in source terms to the reactive flowr equations for solution of the system of...

Glycosaminoglycans, the most abundant heteropolysaccharides, have an inevitable role in tissue hydration, cell adhesion, regulation of cell growth and proliferation. Glycosaminoglycanchitosan-gelatin (GCG) scaffold incorporated with Hemigraphis colorata silver nanoparticles was prepared. The study confirmed the physical cross linking of the scaffold using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and ...

This report describes a case of burn injury following exposure to sulfur mustard, a chemical agent used in war. A review of the diagnostic characteristics, clinical manifestations, and therapeutic measures used to treat this uncommon, yet extremely toxic, entity is presented. The aim of this report is to highlight the importance of considering this diagnosis in any war victim, especially during...
