Filter by:The study outlines burn injury impact, emphasizes need for long-term rehabilitation. Study assesses inspiratory muscle training efficacy in improving respiratory strength, lung function, and exercise capacity in adult burn patients.
The study will explore the potential of utilizing Glyaderm® in a single-stage engrafting process, aiming for a more cost-effective approach. While the absence of the reticular dermal layer is a challenge associated with autologous split-thickness skin grafting (STSG), often leading to hypertrophic scars and contractures, various dermal substitutes with inconsistent results exist. Bilayered skin reconstruction using glycerolized acellular dermis (Glyaderm®) has shown promise in improving scar quality through a two-step procedure. However, unlike the typical two-step process required for most dermal substitutes, our investigation focuses on the cost-effective application of Glyaderm® in a single-stage engrafting. This approach, if successful, could offer advantages such as reduced costs, shorter hospitalization times, and lower infection rates-attributes preferred by many surgeons, especially when autografts are available.
This study investigated the effects of Pilates exercises on lower limb muscle strength, functional capacity, and quality of life in children with burn injuries. In a twelve-week randomized clinical trial involving 60 children, those who received Pilates exercises in addition to traditional physical therapy showed significant improvements in muscle strength, functional capacity, and overall quality of life compared to those who received traditional therapy alone. The findings suggest that incorporating Pilates exercises into rehabilitation programs may enhance outcomes for children recovering from burn injuries.
The goal of this randomised control study is to compare kinesiotaping and pressue garments in secondary upper extremity lymphedema following microsurgical breast reconstruction after severe chest burns. The primary objective of this study was to compare the effects of kinesiotaping and pressure garments on limb circumference, handgrip strength, shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI), and limb circumference in patients with lymphedema following breast reconstruction due to chest burns. The participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the kinesiotaping group (n = 28) and the pressure garments group (n = 28). To perform taping of the chest in the kinesiotaping group, the patient was asked to stand upright with the affected shoulder rotated externally. Five straps of the fan-shaped tape were extended to the chest toward the affected axilla with 15% to 20% tension, and the anchor was positioned without tension in the anterior axilla on the sound side. In the pressure garment group, the participant's skin was washed and dried before applying the PG. The Premium Lymphedema Gradient Garment (Jobskin, Long Eaton, England) was used to apply PGs. This garment has a pressure gradient built into it, applying between 20 and 60 mm Hg for at least 15 to 18 hours each day for three weeks.
The goal of this comparative, interventional randomized controlled trial is to use albumin during resuscitation in pediatric burn patients on day 2, as it can reduce extravasation of fluids and decrease the overall fluid requirements, along with mortality and maintain circulation. Participants will be divided into 2 groups. Albumin will be administered additionally in group A, while only crystalloids will be used for resuscitation in group B.
Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is a chronic pain disorder that presents with inflammation and burning sensation in the oral cavity without visible lesions. Multiple therapies have been investigated without conclusive results.Objective: To analyse the efficacy of treatment with Clonazepam (Rivotril) and Low Power Diode Laser Therapy in patients with Burning Mouth Syndrome and to study the markers of inflammation present in the patients' saliva. Methods: Randomised, single-blind clinical trial with 89 patients divided into Group 1 Laser + Rivotril (n=20), Group 2 Laser Sham placebo (n=19), Group 3 Laser (n=21) and Group 4 Rivotril (n=18). The intensity of symptomatology was rated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Sialometry was performed before and after treatment and questionnaires such as the Xerostomia Inventory, the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP14) and the Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) were completed. Saliva samples were analysed by measuring markers related to inflammatory processes; Interleukins (IL2, IL4, IL 5, IL6, IL 7, IL 8, IL1β, IL 10, IL12, IL13, IL17, IL21, IL23), proteins (MIP-3α, MIP-1α, MIP-1β), Cytokine GM-CSF, Interferon gamma (IFNγ), Interferon Inducible Tα-Cell Chemoattractant (ITAC), Fractalkine and Tumour Necrosis Factor α(TNFα).
Burns are type of injury that affect the skin or other tissues and are typically caused by acute trauma, including thermal sources, electricity, chemicals, friction, or radiation. Thermal burns are frequently caused by exposure to high temperature solids or liquids, as well as flames. The epidermis is the only layer of skin affected by superficial burns (sometimes known as "first degree" burns). Blistering is a common symptom of partial thickness (second degree) burns, which damage both the epidermis and dermis.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of caffeine and alpha-lipoic acid in the treatment of burning mouth syndrome by symptom assessment with visual analogue scale.
Adequate and effective pain management and prevention of depression are essential in burn patients. This study aims to investigate the effects of ketamine sedation in burn patients in terms of mood disorders, depression, anxiety, and suicidal tendency during intensive care follow-up in the postoperative period.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of virtual reality on pain and clinical outcomes during hydrotherapy for children with burn.
