Reduced incidence of feeding tube dislodgement and missed feeds in burn patients with nasal bridle securement
Adequate nutritional support is an essential component to proper management of severe burns as burn physiology is characterized by a hypermetabolic and hypercatabolic state [1,2]. Most commonly, nutritional support is provided via a nasoenteric feeding tube, but burns involving the face can increase the difficulty of securing these feeding tubes [3]. Traditional methods of securing feeding tubes with tape and tubular elastic dressing are challenging in this setting given that tape does not adhere well to sloughed skin [4].

A modern documented Italian identified skeletal collection of 2127 skeletons: The CAL Milano Cemetery Skeletal Collection
This documented osteological collection is of crucial interest in physical and forensic anthropology: it provides unique teaching opportunities and more importantly considerable research possibilities to test and develop sex and age estimation methods, investigate key subjects of forensic relevance and discuss pathological markers, among others. The aim of this paper is to introduce the CAL Milano Cemetery Skeletal Collection as a new identified skeletal collection and present its research and teaching potential.

Development of a contaminated ischemic porcine wound model and the evaluation of bromelain based enzymatic debridement
Chronic wounds, such as venous, arterial and diabetic ulcers, affect an estimated 7 million patients in the U.S. alone each year, with costs exceeding $25 billion annually [1]. While multiple topical therapies have been evaluated, few have shown significant benefit in healing chronic wounds. However, a cornerstone of wound therapy is wound debridement [2], whereby necrotic, and often contaminated tissue is removed by means of autolytic, enzymatic, or surgical debridement.

Skin banking at a regional burns centre —The way forward
Skin allograft has been found to be an extremely useful and life saving temporary skin cover in the management of extensive burn patients. Since the first clinical use of skin allograft by Girdner in 1881, skin banking methods have also evolved over the years [1]. The evolution is mainly seen in different preservation techniques. Currently there are about three different preservation techniques used in skin banking, namely glycerol preservation, deep freezing and cryopreservation [2 –5]. Hence, the skin banks use one of these methods as per the suitability of the region. (Source: Burns : Journal of the International Soci...

Effect of skin graft thickness on scar development in a porcine burn model
Hypertrophic scarring is a common complication following burn injury, with reported incidence rates ranging from 30 –75% [1]. The scars are associated with pain, pruritus, erythema, and stiffness [2]. In addition, contractures due to hypertrophic scarring can lead to significant deformities and result in loss of function of the affected limb or joint [3]. Although there is a range of treatment options available including pressure garments [4,5], silicone gels [6,7], corticosteroid injections [8], and laser treatment [9,10], none of these therapies has been able to completely prevent or cure hypertrophic scarring.

Mother, father and child traumatic stress reactions after paediatric burn: Within-family co-occurrence and parent-child discrepancies in appraisals of child stress
Burn events are potentially traumatizing for children and adolescents. Besides the burn event and injury itself, potential stressors include treatment-related factors such as pain, repeated wound care and skin grafting procedures. Clinically relevant acute stress reactions appear to be present in 25 –31% of children [1–3]. Although symptoms after pediatric injury generally tend to decline over time, they persist in a subgroup [4], indicating the necessity to identify children in need of psychological support.
