Filter by:Laser treatment of hypertrophic burn scars has become increasingly popular for improving scarring in burn survivors. Despite its common use, there a gap in knowledge regrading randomized control trials that demonstrate whether the laser is beneficial. Such a trial is important because if it shows the laser does work, it would provide the evidence to make such treatments more accessible to all patients. Furthermore, there is no knowledge whether the burn injury used to remove tissue is beneficial or not. This study aims to evaluate the laser treatment, removal of similar tissue amounts with 0.5mm punch biopsies, to controls to fill this knowledge gap. The hypothesis is the laser is beneficial at improving patient's burn scars. Also the punch biopsies work better at improving scars by removing tissue without burning and injuring the surrounding tissue as the laser does. To evaluate these treatments (laser, punch biopsies, and no treatment), 3 small areas will be chosen in a study scar area that meets specific criteria to receive . Patients will still be able to receive laser and burn reconstruction procedures in all other areas not involving the study scar area that are clinically indicated. In the study, the scar will be evaluated with photographs, surveys, and tissue samples taken either while under anesthesia except for one set taken with numbing medicine. The tissue samples will be looked at under a microscope to see how the treatments change the scar tissue. The tissue will also have tests done to evaluate how the laser impacts genes from cells in the scar tissue. Lastly, to understand how reconstructive procedures (laser and surgical treatments) change a patient's quality of life, patients will be asked a limited set of questions to learn more how these procedures improve their lives.
This study evaluated the spatio-temporal gait parameters and gait symmetry in individuals with lower extremity burn injury due to diabetic polyneuropathy. Study group consisted of 14 subjects with unilateral lower extremity burn injuries due to diabetic polyneuropathy and control group consisted of 14 subjects with only diabetic polyneuropathy.
In this study 1. Assess the efficiency of non-cultured autologous keratinocyte suspension in treating post-burn raw area. 2. Compare the results of keratinocyte suspension alone versus Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells-keratinocyte suspension in post-burn raw area.
A study comparing effect of non-cultured autologous keratinocyte suspension on burn wounds treatment compared with traditional split skin graft
In plastic and reconstructive surgery, treatment strategies of second-degree burn wounds and split-skin grafted third-degree burn wounds aim at reducing infection and improving reepithelialization. Although previous studies indicate that burn patients benefit from newer wound dressings, only a few studies comparing different wound dressings can be found. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate time to reepithelialization, pain, microbiology, handling and costs of different wound dressings in patients with split-skin grafted third-degree burn wounds.
Evaluate the effect of honey on perineal tears or episiotomies pain associated or not with anterior vulvar tears after vaginal delivery.
The purpose of this project is to quantify normal and abnormal skin blood flow regionally in different areas of the body(face, extremities, over burns and wounds) at baseline and over time in response to treatment or environmental changes, such as temperature, light and pressure.
Massive burns are serious life-threatening conditions. Recent advances in their management now allow the survival of a growing number of patients. The burn care paradigm is transformed: the evaluation of survival at the end of acute care is no longer sufficient for a good evaluation of practices; the attention now focuses on long-term health-related quality of life (HR-QOL).The recently validated French translation of the burn specific health scale brief version makes this evaluation now feasible in French burn centers. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the HR-QOL of massive burn survivors, to compare it to another chronic condition (necrotizing fasciitis) and to determine the main predictive factor of health-related quality of life. This study is retrospectively conducted in 18 patients who survived a massive burn injury involving more than 80% of the total body surface area, or more than 70% of the total body surface area if the injury occured during childhood and who were treated between 1997 and 2017 in our Lyon burn center. Short Form-36 Medical Outcomes Survey (SF-36), and Brief Version of Burn Speciļ¬c Health Scale (BSHS-B) are used for the present evaluation.
