Filter by: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.
Evaluate the effect of honey on perineal tears or episiotomies pain associated or not with anterior vulvar tears after vaginal delivery.
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.

Background: Teaching first aid to laypeople is a cost-effective way to improve public health. However, it is currently unclear what the most effective ways are to teach first aid. It has already been shown that simulated patients have an added value in teaching emergency care to healthcare professionals. This paper describes the protocol for a cluster-randomized controlled trial that will investigate the influence of using a simulated patient during basic first aid training for laypeople on laypeople's knowledge, skills and self-efficacy. Hypothesis: The null hypothesis of this research is that the use of simulated patients during basic first aid training does not result in a statistically significant change in knowledge, skills and self-efficacy concerning the first aid topics for which a simulated patient is used. The alternative is that knowledge, skills and self-efficacy will be influenced by using simulated patients. Methods: This study will be a cluster-randomized controlled trial, that will take place from September 2018 to June 2020. The study population will consist of employees taking a three day first aid certification course with the Belgian Red Cross. The employers requesting a first aid course will be randomised in receiving a course with or without simulated patient. The simulated patient will only be used for the topics first aid for burns and first aid for stroke in the intervention group. The participants will complete a questionnaire to measure their knowledge and self-efficacy before and after the course, and complete a practical skills test after the course testing these first aid topics. To test whether the retention of first aid knowledge and self-efficacy is influenced by using a simulated patient during a certification course, participants following a refresher course one year after the certification course will complete a follow-up questionnaire. This cluster-randomized controlled trial will be, to the investigator's knowledge, the first to investigate the added value of simulated patients during first aid courses for laypeople.
Randomised Clinical Study to evaluate the efficacy of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) skin as an occlusive biological dressing, in the treatment of humans burn wounds.
Burn patients which skin has been lost a rapid growth of the skin is a foremost in their treatment. Due to the injury, burn patients undergo a systemic inflammation that helps the skin heal faster. However, several studies have shown that this inflammation increases the levels of several inflammatory molecules that impairs skin growing, which further delays the recovery of burn patients. As such, by inhibiting these inflammatory molecules with the administration of a medication called pirfenidone burn patients might present faster rates of skin growth and recovery. Thus, patients suffering from a burn injury will be recruited at the emergency department of the Hospital University in Monterrey Mexico. Afterward, patients will be randomized to either receive pirfenidone 600 mg orally once per day or usual care consisting of covering the wound with hydrocolloid dressings. To assess the amount of newly growth skin investigators will take a small piece of the skin to further evaluate it through a microscope.
Background: This study planned to investigate the effect of early physiotherapy on biochemical parameters in major burn patients. Methods: Ten women (50%) and 10 men (50%) aged 21-47 years old were included in our study. Participants were divided into two groups: one group was the treatment group and the other was the control group. In the treatment group, patients were admitted to the physiotherapy programme from the first day they have been hospitalised, in addition to their routine treatment (medical, surgery, etc.), for 4 days per week. It consisted of parameters such as early mobilisation and ambulatory training, chest physiotherapy, and both active and passive normal joint movement exercises. The days of treatment were determined as Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Patients could not be treated on a Monday because that was surgery day. The control group consisted of patients who could not receive physiotherapy due to various reasons. All patients included in the study were evaluated weekly for 6 weeks after admission to the hospital. Parameters such as demographic information, characteristics of burn injury, C-reactive protein, fibronectin, transferrin and prealbumin were evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to learn if there is a difference in recovery time when using sugammadex versus neostigmine. The researchers also hope to add further knowledge and data to the safety of using sugammadex in burn patients who are hypermetabolic.
This study evaluates the effect effect of ablative fractional CO2 laser (AFCO2L) on burns scar appearance and dermal architecture at 6 weeks and up to 3-years post-treatment. Half of the scar will receive AFCO2L and half the scar will receive standard care.
