BACKGROUND The thermal burn is accidental and also is the hidden and worst complication of medical plaster application. This study evaluated clinical and aetiological profile and severity of plaster burns. METHODS In Department of Burns, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery from 1st August 2014 to 31st December 2015, six patients with plaster burn were assessed for total body surface area and ...

introduction: this paper presents the results of a study on the effects of two differentdoses of low-power laser irradiation on healing of deep second degree burns. material and methods: 60 rats were randomly allocated to one of four groups. adeep second-degree burn was inflicted in each rat. in the control group (cg) burns remained untreated; in groups lg1 and lg2 the burns were irradiated wit...

INTRODUCTION Most cases of burns occurring in medical institutions are associated with activities involving heat. It is very difficult to detect these burns. To date, there are few reports on burns occurring in medical institutions. The purpose of this paper was to analyze the etiology of burns occurring in medical institutions and to elucidate the factors affecting burn depth. METHODS We con...

The results are presented of the treatment of 168 patients aged 1 to 60 yr with deep burns. The use of active surgical tactics in patients with deep and extensive burns was tested. It was found that the application of a method of active surgical tactics, in combination with different approaches of wound covering such as "combined auto- and allografting", "combined auto- and porcine-skin graftin...

UNLABELLED Extracorporeal shock wave treatment (ESWT) increases perfusion in ischaemic tissues, stimulates growth factors, decreases inflammation and accelerates wound healing. It is a safe technique classically used in urology and orthopaedic surgery with success, but there is still limited literature regarding its use in the management of burns. PURPOSE The aim of this study is to analyse t...

Purpose: To investigate the healing effect of Punica granatum L. peel (Pomegranate husk) extract (PHE) on deep second-degree burns in rats. Methods: Male Wistar rats, weighing 220 – 240 g, were subjected to deep second-degree skin burns by electrical scald instrument. The animals were divided into three groups as follows: (1) deep seconddegree burn model (control) group, (2) burns model treated...

No previous publication about domestic neonatal burns exists in the literature. The authors have treated a 16-day-old baby boy for deep partial-thickness scalds that happened at home. The case report is followed by a literature review and discussion of the data previously published on neonatal burns. Special considerations to domestic neonatal burns are highlighted. A 16-day-old baby boy presen...

Thermal imaging is a tool that can be used to determine burn depth. We have revisited the use of this technology in the assessment of burns and aim to establish if high resolution, real-time technology can be practically used in conjunction with clinical examination to determine burn depth. 11 patients with burns affecting upper and lower limbs and the anterior and posterior trunk were included...

objective: to compare outcome of patients with burns covering less than 15% of total body surface area(tbsa) undergoing early excision and grafting or delayed skin grafting. method : this was a non-randomized clinical trial including 54 patients with less than 15% tbsa burn referring to ghotboddin hospital of shiraz. they were assigned to two study groups, each group including 27 patients: the ...

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) enhances tissue vascularization and neoangiogenesis. Recent animal studies showed improved soft tissue regeneration using ESWT. In most cases, deep partial-thickness burns require skin grafting; the outcome is often unsatisfactory in function and aesthetic appearance. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effect of ESWT on skin regeneration after ...
