Glutamine decreases myocardial damage in ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, the cardioprotective effect of glutamine after burn injury remains unclear. Present study was to explore the protective effect of glycyl-glutamine dipeptide on myocardial damage in severe burn rats. Seventy-two Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: normal control (C), burned control (B) and glycyl-glut...

Burn injuries result in the release of proinflammatory mediators causing both local and systemic inflammation. Multiple organ dysfunctions secondary to systemic inflammation after severe burn contribute to adverse outcome, with the lungs being the first organ to fail. In this study, we evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of Parecoxib, a parenteral COX-2 inhibitor, in a delayed fluid resuscit...

OBJECTIVE The treatment of burns remains a challenge due to the associated high morbidity and mortality. Besides the administration of physiologic saline, local disinfection, and symptomatic medications, no causal therapy is known to reduce the tissue damage and accelerate wound healing. The aim of the study was to develop a reliable burn model that allows for reproducible quantitative in vivo ...

IntroductionBurns are associated with significant psychological morbidity. The relationship between burns and psychiatric conditions is bidirectional. There hardly any Sri Lankan studies describing morbidity among adults burns. AimsTo describe the factors in patients burn injuriesreferred to University Psychiatry Unit, National Hospital of Lanka.

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...

Background: Non-accidental burns may not be detected unless a complete history of the accident and a detailed physical examination is obtained. Self-inflicted burns are a regular source of admission to burn units. Case presentation: An 11 year old boy with multiple localized burn injuries was brought to the emergency department of burn hospital by his mother. The lesions were in diff...
