this study was conducted to determine the causes and outcomes of burn in patients referred to shahid mohammadi hospital in bandar abbass, southern iran, in which 212 burned patients were assessed from march 2007 to march 2008 .mean age of patients was 22.14 yr. heat contact was the main cause of burn with 92.5%. 49.1% of total burns occurred among less than 20 yr old people. mortality rate was ...

materials and methods in this study, 90 patients with second-degree burn injuries who were admitted to the yazd burn hospital were randomly divided into three equal groups. in the negative control group, the wounds were covered with sterile vaseline gauze followed by double sterile dry gauze and ultimately bandaged. in the test group, the wounds were covered by an iranian hydrogel sheet (irgel)...

Temperature cycling optical hole-burning experiments on cresyl violet in ethanol glass are reported. At 1.3 K a hole is burned and measured. The temperature if then raised to 2.1 IQ the hole is measured. The temperature is returned to I, 3 K, and the hole is again measured. The hole is observed to be narrow at 1.3 K, broader at 2.1 K, and then narrow again when the temperature is returned to 1....

BACKGROUND Various focal heating devices are popular in Korea under the cultural influence of the traditional ondol under-floor method of home heating. These devices can cause severe burn-like injuries resulting from device malfunction or extended with low heat contact. In addition to injuries under these high heat contact, burns can be occurred by low heat exposure with prolonged periods despi...

The aim was to identify relationships between combustion conditions, particle characteristics, and optical properties of fresh and photochemically processed emissions from biomass combustion. The combustion conditions included nominal and high burn rate operation and individual combustion phases from a conventional wood stove. Low temperature pyrolysis upon fuel addition resulted in "tar-ball" ...

This study was designed to examine the role of mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis in burn-related myocardial inflammation. We hypothesized that mitochondrial Ca2+ is a primary modulator of cardiomyocyte TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6 responses to injury and infection. Ventricular myocytes were prepared by Langendorff perfusion of hearts from adult rats subjected to sham burn or burn injury over 40% ...

In low ambient temperatures the engine will have poor output torque and power generation at the first cycles of its performance, long start time and huge noxious emissions because of insufficient temperature and quality of air-fuel mixture and failure of flame to burn the charge. It is noted that any attempt to increase the charge temperature leads to better combustion conditions. By applying t...

A controlled fire burner was constructed where various natural vegetation species could be used as fuel. The burner was equipped with thermocouples to measure fuel surface temperature and used as a cavity for microwaves with a laboratory quality 2-port vector network analyzer to determine electrical conductivity from S-parameters. Electrical conductivity for vegetation material flames is import...

3D Stacked IC fabrication, using Through-SiliconVias, is a promising technology for future integrated circuits. However, large temperature gradients may exacerbate early-lifefailures to the extent that the commercialization of 3D Stacked ICs is challenged. The effective detection of these early-lifefailures requires that burn-in is performed when the IC’s temperatures comply with the thermal ma...
