The objective was to compare incidence acute respiratory failure (arf), pneumonia, and mortality between patients with ini superficial skin burns up 3% total body surface (tbsa). Material methods 125 i–ii degree tbsa were al...

M oday, Sptem er 6, 2016 ConCluSionS: Xenografting appears to be a reasonable option for patients with partial-thickness scald injuries. The cost, LOS, HAIs, and ICU days for the Xenografting cohort fell in-between the Non-Op and Autografting cohorts, as would be expected. While non-operative management may be appropriate for small/superficial burns, and Autografting may be required for large/d...

The effect of Betadine solution and cream was examined in the treatment of burn patients (23 documented and about 200 non-documented) during the first six months of 1991. The laboratory examinations did not reveal changes in T3, T4, TSH values. Renal failure due to iodine absorption was not observed. Hypersensitivity to the agent was not recorded. Healing of superficial and deep second-degree b...

Lymphedema is characterized by edema of the extremity due to the inability of the lymphatic system to remove lymph into the circulation. This condition can result from destruction of the superficial lymphatics from burn injury and recurrent infection of the extremity. Due to its rare occurrence, two cases of upper extremity lymphedema following burns are reported.

A. OVERVIEW During the first 6 days, wound inflammation has begun and the various components of healing have been initiated. In superficial burns, epidermal regeneration will be relatively rapid, if the wound environment is optimized. The injured dermal elements are usually covered by new epithelium within 2 weeks. The hyperplasia of dermal fibroblasts then begins to resolve, and healing is com...
