The depth of a burn wound and/or its healing potential are the most important determinants of the therapeutic management and of the residual morbidity or scarring. Traditionally, burn surgeons divide burns into superficial which heal by rapid re-epithelialization with minimal scarring and deep burns requiring surgical therapy. Clinical assessment remains the most frequent technique to measure t...

Burn-related morbidity and mortality are usually caused by secondary infection long healing time. In these circumstances, the use of products that can accelerate enhance wound process is urgently needed. One breakthrough in therapy platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Platelet-rich autologous with a platelet concentration above normal value. This study literature review aiming to describe role PRP burn ...

OBJECTIVE Burn wounds remain a challenge due to subsequent wound infection and septicemia, which can be prevented by acceleration of wound healing. The aim of the study was to analyze microcirculation and leukocyte endothelium interaction with particular focus on angiogenesis after full-thickness burn using three different repetitions of low energy shock waves. METHODS Full-thickness burns we...

Abstract Burn injuries are a significant cause of death worldwide, leading to systemic inflammation, multiple organ failure and sepsis. The progression burn injury is explicitly correlated with mitochondrial homeostasis, which disrupted by the hyperinflammation induced injury, dysfunction cell death. Mitophagy plays crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis selectively removing damaged m...

BACKGROUND Burns are still considered one of the most devastating conditions in emergency medicine affecting both genders and all age groups in developed and developing countries, resulting into physical and psychological scars and cause chronic disabilities. This study was performed to determine the healing effect of curcumin on burn wounds in rat. METHODS Seventy female Sprague-Dawley 18...

AIM This paper is a short review on the state-of-the-art of the use of polyelectrolyte complexes containing polysaccharides for wound and burn healing and treatment using the chitosan/hyaluronic acid polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) hydrogel. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS PEC is suitable for wound healing because a wet treatment can be realized and both components of PEC contribute by their properties...

Burn injury is a medical problem as well as a social burden on the national health services in developing countries. Trace elements have important roles in wound healing and act as antioxidants. In this study we estimated iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) levels in serum and superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in erythrocyte of burned patients. Study includes 43 patients with burn i...
