Burn Patient Metabolism and Nutrition
Following severe burns, patients have unique metabolic derangements that make adequate nutritional support imperative for their survival and recovery. Patients with burns have persistent and prolonged hypermetabolic states that lead to increased catabolism following injury. During rehabilitation, catabolism leads to increased muscle wasting and cachexia. Failure to adequately meet the patient ’s increased nutritional requirements can lead to poor wound healing, increased infections, and overall organ dysfunction. Because of these risks, adequate assessment and provision of nutritional needs are imperative to care for the...

Rehabilitation Management of the Burned Hand
This article will provide an evidence-based overview of rehabilitation of the burned hand across the burn care continuum including a focus on evaluation, pain management, treatment interventions, and outcome assessment. Additionally, various deficits that can put the hand at significant risk for loss of function will be discussed. Finally, the authors will address the special considerations and treatment caveats of addressing the pediatric hand burn. (Source: Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America)

Key Exercise Concepts in the Rehabilitation from Severe Burns
This article presents information on the benefits of exercise in counteracting the detrimental effects of bed rest, and/or severe burns. Exercise is key for maintaining physical function, lean body mass, metabolic recovery, and psychosocial health after major burn injuries. The details of an exercise training program conducted in severely burned persons are presented, as well as information on the importance of proper regulation of body temperature during exercise or physical activity. The sections on exercise and thermoregulation are followed by a section on the role of exercise in scarring and contractures. Finally, gaps...

A Narrative Review of Outcomes in Burn Rehabilitation Based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health
This article uses the World Health Organization (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework to summarize burn rehabilitation outcomes related to body functions and structures and how they relate to activities and participation within the social context. This article will contribute to a better understanding of burn recovery, facilitate the identification of specific and meaningful issues common to burn survivorship that may be under-reported in prior investigations and guide future rehabilitation to advance long-term burn outcomes.

Post-COVID Conditions and Burden of Disease
Post-COVID condition (PCC), also known as long COVID, is a multi-systemic illness estimated to affect 10% to 20% of those infected, regardless of age, baseline health status, or initial symptom severity. PCC has affected millions of lives, with long-lasting debilitating effects, but unfortunately it remains an underrecognized and therefore poorly documented condition. Defining and disseminating the burden of PCC is essential for developing effective public health strategies to address this issue in the long term.

Immunologic and Autoimmune-Related Sequelae of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Infection
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant number of people developing long-term health effects of postacute sequelae SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC). Both acute COVID-19 and PASC are now recognized as multiorgan diseases with multiple symptoms and disease causes. The development of immune dysregulation during acute COVID-19 and PASC is of high epidemiologic concern. Both conditions may also be influenced by comorbid conditions such as pulmonary dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, neuropsychiatric conditions, prior autoimmune conditions and cancer. This review discusses the clinical symptoms, pathophysiology, and ris...

Integrative Medicine in Long COVID
Physiatry and Integrative Medicine practice approaches the care of patients holistically to achieve recovery and optimal function. The current lack of knowledge on proven treatments for long COVID has resulted in a surge in both demand and use of complementary and integrative health (CIH) treatments. This overview summarizes CIH therapies using the framework of the United States National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, divided into nutritional, psychological, physical, and combinations of these categories. Representative therapies selected based on the availability of published and ongoing research for pos...

Integrated Care Models for Long Coronavirus Disease
Professional or governmental agencies and organizations have developed guidelines to define the problem and evaluate and manage patients with Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS CoV-2 (PASC). Multidisciplinary models largely exist in academic centers and larger cities; however, most care for PASC patients is provided by the primary care providers. The American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation has been in the forefront in releasing consensus statements as a part of the long COVID collaborative.

Fatigue in Post-Acute Sequelae of Coronavirus Disease 2019
Fatigue from post-acute sequelae of coronavirus disease 2019 is a complex constellation of symptoms that could be driven by a wide spectrum of underlying etiologies. Despite this, there seems to be hope for treatment plans that focus on addressing possible etiologies and creating a path to improving quality of life and a paced return to activity.
