Abstract Introduction The Giant Hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) is a rare cause for chemical burns in humans and animals acquiring growing recognition mainstream media as relevant public health concern. Injuries attributed to this plant range from innocuous superficial irritation full-thickness burns. A vast majority of cases will resolve with conservative measures effective first aid, but t...

Background: There is no consensus regarding the timing of surgery in children with smaller burn size, specifically deep dermal burns. Delayed has risks terms infection and delayed wound healing. Early also removal potentially viable tissue. Our aim was to investigate effect surgical intervention on size area operated time Methods: A retrospective analysis for all (<18 years) <20% body sur...

Laser speckle imaging (LSI) is a wide-field optical technique that enables superficial blood flow quantification. LSI is normally performed in a mounted configuration to decrease the likelihood of motion artifact. However, mounted LSI systems are cumbersome and difficult to transport quickly in a clinical setting for which portability is essential in providing bedside patient care. To address t...

Abstract Background Early mechanisms underlying the progressive tissue death and regenerative capability of burn wounds are understudied in human skin. A clinically relevant, reproducible model for wound healing is needed to elucidate early changes environment. This study reports a contact on skin that explores extent injury over time, defines inter-individual variability enable use mechanistic...

chemical injuries of the cornea are ophthalmic emergencies. these injuries often result in significant ocular morbidity and generally strike young adults in the prime years of life. classification schemes enable the ophthalmologist to determine the severity of injury and the prognosis for the injured eye. immediate management consists of copious irrigation following exposure. effective manageme...

Collagen based dressings for acute burn wound management have been extensively used in India, particularly in the city of Chennai. Due to the high levels of humidity in our city, closed dressings become infected and treatment with topical antimicrobials, like Silver Sulfadiazine cream, quickly become desiccated. Collagen membrane dressings were manufactured by the biomaterial laboratory of the ...

Burn injury is skin damage due to extreme temperature resulting in hypertrophic scar if impaired of wound healing occurs that can impact on the quality life. Evaluation objectively and subjectively including life patient could performed with POSAS score. This study aimed evaluate burn profile based core at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado. was a retrospective using medical records patient...

The ultimate goal in the management of burn wounds is to obtain physiological closure in the shortest period of time. Traditional burn wound management involves cleansing, debridement and provision of a moist environment to encourage the process of natural healing. Hence, an ideal dressing material has to maintain a moist environment, act as a bacterial barrier, and as a medium for free exchang...
