A critical need exists for early, accurate diagnosis of burn wound severity to help identify the course of treatment and outcome of the wound. Laser speckle imaging (LSI) is a promising blood perfusion imaging approach, but it does not account for changes in tissue optical properties that can occur with burn wounds, which are highly dynamic environ...

The clinical outcome after thermal injury depends significantly on bystander action at the scene of the initial burn. Bystander action may save life, by rescue or by extinguishing flames; or by reducing medical complications which lead to death from respiratory injury or from secondary infection. Best-practice first aid may reduce the need for skin...

Increased body weight has been associated with reduced muscle wasting in the early catabolic phase after a severe burn. Yet, overweight and obese non-burn children often exhibit impaired musculoskeletal function, which may lead to poor physical function (PF). We aimed to determine the association between body mass index (BMI) at discharge and self-...

Blood group has been found to be important in the development of many diseases and the outcome of several disease processes, especially cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, such as caused by trauma and sepsis. The main reason is claimed to be related to glycobiology and effects mediated through the endothelium. This study investigated the possib...

Topical drug therapy is one of the most effective approaches in third-degree burn wound treatments. To optimize and enhance drug permeation through burn eschar, we need to characterize this barrier, most importantly, its affinity to drugs; the subject of this investigation. Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSP), as polarity and affinity scale, were me...

Although burns most often result in negative psychological consequences, some studies have identified self-reported, positive psychological growth after such injuries. Post-traumatic growth is a positive psychological change in which an individual develops stronger functioning, beliefs, and values following a trauma. To date, no quantitative analys...
