Subclinical, long-term psychological symptoms following sport-related concussion: are athletes more depressed than we think?
CONCLUSIONS: Approximately one in three athletes endorsed long-term psychological symptoms. Predictors of these symptoms included orthopedic injuries and delayed RTP.PMID:38572738 | DOI:10.1080/02699052.2024.2334352 (Source: Brain Injury)

Patterns of Statin Therapy Use and Associated Outcomes in Older Veterans Across Kidney Function
CONCLUSION: This large cohort study did not reveal an association between the initiation of statin therapy and incident dementia. A survival benefit was seen in statin users compared to non-users. Prospective studies in more diverse populations including older adults will be needed to verify these findings.PMID:38574795 | DOI:10.1016/j.amjmed.2024.03.016 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

Inhalation Injury
Semin Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1782646Inhalation injury is a critical component of thermal injury that can significantly increase mortality in burn survivors. This poses significant challenges to managing these patients and profoundly impacts patient outcomes. This comprehensive literature review delves into the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, classification, management, and outcomes of inhalation injury with burns.

Wound Management of Pediatric Burns
Semin Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1785215The goal for treating pediatric burns is to allow the patient to heal with as little scarring as possible. Compared to older children and adults, very small children have anatomic differences that alter their treatment. They have thinner skin that leads to a higher risk for full-thickness burns. Children also tend to freeze when touching a hot item, so that the prolonged contact also leads to deeper burns. Two healing strategies are needed to treat these wounds. One must optimize reepithelialization in superficial burns to reduce scarring. Deeper burns require skin grafting, but ...

The Historical Evolvement of Movement and Exercise Training in Patients with Severe Burns and Their Potential Effects on Grafts, Scars, and Function
Semin Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1785216Exercise training for burn patients has become a major part of rehabilitation programs within the last decades. One of the main reasons for prolonged and long-term increased morbidity and mortality in this population is a persistent catabolic state with subsequent loss of lean body mass (LBM). A combination of resistance and aerobic exercises as well as stretching has shown to improve physical function by enhancing cardiopulmonary fitness, LBM, and strength and thus leading to ameliorated long-term outcomes of patients recovering from burns. In this literature review, we show an ...

Update on Hypermetabolism in Pediatric Burn Patients
Semin Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1782649Despite advancements in pediatric burn care, the profound hypermetabolic response associated with severe burns remains a multifaceted challenge throughout the continuum of care. Understanding the various physiologic disturbances that constitute hypermetabolism is crucial for a thorough evaluation and for implementing appropriate surgical and nonsurgical interventions. In this article, we describe the pathophysiology and treatment of hypermetabolism in pediatric burn patients with a focus on reducing resting energy requirements, minimizing infection, and optimizing nutrition for p...

Nutrition in Pediatric Burns
Semin Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1782648Nutrition and modulation of the hypermetabolic response to acute burns are reviewed in this article. Methods to determine caloric requirements are evaluated, including indirect calorimetry and predictive equations. Individual nutritional components of carbohydrates, fat, protein, vitamins, and trace elements are discussed specifically in relation to acute burn care. Selection of formula and route of administration are outlined, with an enteral high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet being preferable. Awareness and recognition of the signs and symptoms of malnutrition is critical in the m...

Initial Pediatric Burn Management: A Practical Guide
This article focuses on the unique physiologic aspects of children and how they impact initial evaluation and management of burn injury. Children are not “little adults,” and they have different airway, circulatory, and cutaneous systems. Understanding the signs of potential child abuse is important to avoid further child harm. Finally, recognition of the criteria for referral to a pediatric burn center is important to optimize both short- and long-term outcomes for patients and families.

Pediatric Burn Teams: Moving from Multidisciplinary to Transdisciplinary
Semin Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1782644Pediatric burn care has improved to the point where even patients with massive burns have a reasonable chance of survival. An important component of this success is the pediatric multidisciplinary burn team. The pediatric burn team is made up of all the disciplines that are required to provide optimal care of the patient as well as their family. The pediatric burn team in its initial iteration was multidisciplinary, with each discipline focusing on their own area without much overlap. However, over time the burn team has become more cooperative and interdisciplinary leading to im...

Benefits and Process of Providing Peer Support for Pediatric Burn Survivors and Caregivers during Inpatient and Outpatient Phases of Recovery
Semin Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1782650The World Health Organization reveals that pediatric burns represent a large portion of burns globally (61). Increases in survival rates have guided clinical and research focus on physical, psychological, and social outcomes. Research on other childhood illnesses has shown the efficacy of social support throughout recovery. In the pediatric burn literature, studies have shown the efficacy of burn camps for promoting positive interactions among survivors, learning coping skills, and facilitating socialization and reintegration. However, few studies have focused on the benefits of ...
