Smoke inhalation injury is a major comorbid factor in patients with thermal injury and occurs in about 30% of patients with major burns. In addition, inhalation injury reportedly accounts for 20%–84% of the mortality in burned individuals and is associated with higher mortality rates for every age and burn size category. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of simvastatin on...
The scrotum provides an appropriate environment for the testicles that is essential for spermatogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the severity of ultrastructural damage to the testicles after acute thermal injury.Twenty male Sprague–Dawley rats weighing 250±20g were randomly divided into four groups of five rats each (10 testicles in each group). In the sham group, animals were anesthetized,...
This study aimed to investigate the interaction between serum levels of TGF-β and active-immune cell infiltration in burn wounds of various depths.Thirty female Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into three groups: full-thickness burns (F), partial-thickness burns (P), and no burns (S). After burn-induction, blood samples were obtained only once from shams and at postburn 1, 48h, and 7 days in burn...
This study sought to evaluate the viable epidermal cell count of skin stored at 4°C in different media, and to determine the longest time that grafts could be stored and still be used for clinical application of skin grafts. Harvested rat skin grafts were divided into four groups: saline (group 1), Roswell Park Memorial Institute-1640 solution (RPMI) (group 2), University of Wisconsin solution (UW)...
Our aim in this study was to compare the clinical differences and etiologic risk factors for hot water and hot milk scald burns in Turkish children.The retrospective study examined the cases of 140 children aged 0.1–7 years who had scald burns treated in three burn units of a Turkish hospital network between March 2000 and December 2004. The patients were categorized in two groups: hot water burns...
The primary care of victims of burns at the workplace is provided by occupational physicians. In Turkey, the routine practice is to certify physicians for work in occupational medicine.
