Diphoterine(®) is an amphoteric irrigating agent for the treatment of chemical burns and rapidly neutralises both acids and alkalis faster than water alone. Diphoterine(®) is widely used as a first aid agent in a wide range of industries globally. This is a retrospective review of the clinical use of Diphoterine(®) on chemical burns in an adult tertiary referral burn centre, often with a delay ...

A massive loss of dermis layer such as in deep burn wounds brings several important consequences and complications which contribute to major problems, personally economically, for the patients their families. Ideal wound treatment should not focus merely on removing devitalized tissue, controlling bacterial growth, promoting healing, but also accelerating healing process preventing scar-related...

Ocular burns constitute true ocular emergencies and both thermal and chemical burns represent potentially blinding ocular injuries. Thermal burns result from accidents associated with firework explosions, steam, boiling water, or molten metal (commonly aluminium). Chemical burns may be caused by either alkaline or acidic agents. Common alkaline agents include ammonium hydroxide used in fertilis...

Purpose:Human amniotic fluid contains several growth factors and hyaluronic acid. It has positive effect in healing the tendon, nerve bone injuries. Human membrane effects on is also used for skin burns complex wounds. We hypothesized that human have stimulating fracture healing. The aim of this study to investigate rat tibial model.

The acid-base changes in 14 children with severe burns were studied for varying periods after resuscitation. A long-continued metabolic alkalosis was found, which may be due to increased adrenocortical activity.

Esophageal or gastric injuries secondary to caustic substance ingestion is still an important issue in developing countries. Its clinical spectrum can vary from absence of mucosal injury to complications such as severe burns, strictures and perforation. Physical examination and first endoscopic evaluation are very important in the diagnosis. The objective of this study is to present 154 childre...
