Determination of risk factors for burn mortality based on a regional population study in Taiwan
Burns are not only catastrophic events for individuals, but collective morbidity and mortality and the high medical service and rehabilitation costs also constitute a national health problem [1 –5]. Burns have physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual effects, are one of the most expensive nonfatal injuries, and constitute a substantial direct socioeconomic burden [2]. In order to define the burn-related burden of disease and burn risk factors, population-based studies are optima l [6]. However, most studies in Taiwan have been conducted at a single hospital, in a specific patient series, or for a single year, wh...

Treatment of toxic epidermal necrolysis by a multidisciplinary team. A review of literature and treatment results
Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) is a severe cutaneous reaction to drugs or their metabolites with multisystem involvements. The mortality rate is approximately 30% [1]. The incidence is reported to be 1 –2 per million [2,3]. Pathogenesis is largely unknown, but involves an inappropriate immune response leading to apoptosis of keratinocytes causing separation at the dermoepidermal junction. This results in bullae and epidermal sloughing. The reaction can occur in all age groups but the risk is enh anced in the setting of immunosuppression (HIV, SLE, Collagen Vascular Disease, and malignancy) [3,4]. (Source: Burns : Journ...

Patient satisfaction after fractional ablation of burn scar with 2940nm wavelength Erbium-Yag laser
According to the Center for Disease Control, 436,000 patients received medical treatment for their burn injuries in the United States in 2013 [1]. Burn victims today have the potential to live significantly longer compared to those in the past due to advances in technology as well as improved resuscitative measures. While mortality has significantly improved (a recent American Burn Association (ABA) statement estimated the overall survival rate for thermal injury in North America to be 96.8% [2]), symptomatic burn scarring in survivors remains problematic.

Pediatric burns in Israeli natives versus asylum seekers living in Israel: Lessons learned
Burn injuries are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population [1]. Every day, more than 300 children ages 0 –19 are treated in emergency rooms for burn-related injuries and two children die as a result of being burned in the United States alone [2].

Original and modified technique of tie-over dressing: Method and application in burn patients
When soft tissue defects are too extended to heal spontaneously by inward epidermization, skin grafting is a most commonly used method for reconstruction. Depending on the situation, two main types can be realized: full-thickness or split-thickness graft (meshed or not). The success of the skin graft is dependent on many factors such as an even pressure applied to the graft associated with adhesion to the wound bed. These factors are decisive, especially in the early post-operative days, because they favor tissular and vascular bonds [1], essential to the success of the graft take.

A review of campfire burns in children: The QLD experience
Camping is a popular recreational activity in Australia. In Queensland alone, there are approximately 430,000 individual campers who spend 1.1 million camper nights annually [1]. Campfires are often an integral component of the camping experience. Unfortunately, burn injuries from campfires can cause significant morbidity with resultant scarring and loss of function. The temperature required to cause a significant burn in one second is 70 °C [2]. We have previously shown that campfires covered with sand (in an attempt to extinguish) retain the ability to cause significant burns even after 8h, due to both residual heat and...

Skin xenotransplantation: Historical review and clinical potential
Approximately half a million patients in the US require treatment for burns annually [1], with nearly 40,000 hospitalizations and 3400 deaths [2]. Burns also remain an important source of casualty from military operations. Between March 2003 and October 2011, the United States Army Burn Center treated 1037 patients as a result of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, of whom 57% eventually underwent excision and grafting of burn wounds [3].
