Injury > 2017 > 48 > 1 > 87-93

Although gender differences in morbidity and mortality have been measured in patients with moderate to severe burn injury, little attention has been directed at gender effects on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following burn injury. The current study was therefore conducted to prospectively measure changes in HRQoL for males and females in a sample of burn patients.A total of 114 adults who...

To describe patients’ generic health status and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) 12-months following admission to a state-wide burns service.A total of 114 injured adults with >10% total body surface area burned (TBSA) or burns less than 10% TBSA to smaller anatomical areas such as the hands and feet participated in this study. Retrospective assessment of pre-burn injury status and prospective...

Incidence of non-candidal fungal infections in severe burn injury: An Australian perspective

T. Katz, J. Wasiak, H. Cleland, A. Padiglione

Burns > 2014 > 40 > 5 > 881-886

Infection remains the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in the burns patient population. While candidal infection in burns patients is well described, there is dearth of information regarding non-candidal fungal infections in this setting.All adult burns patients who developed non-candidal fungal infections over a period of 10 years (between January 2001 and June 2011) were included. Retrospective...

Predictors of health status and health-related quality of life 12 months after severe burn

J. Wasiak, S.J. Lee, E. Paul, P. Mahar, more

Burns > 2014 > 40 > 4 > 568-574

Sustaining a moderate to severe burn injury is associated with the potential for substantial impairments to long-term physical and psychosocial health, including health related quality of life (HRQoL). The objective of this study was to identify clinical and patient characteristics which predict HRQoL 12-months after injury.A total of 125 patients were recruited over the study period, although only...

Injury > 2013 > 44 > 11 > 1443-1447

To describe the generic health status, health-related quality of life and psychological distress over a 12-month period of burns patients affected by the 2009 Black Saturday Wildfires.Cohort study with retrospective assessment of pre-injury status and prospective assessment of physical and psychosocial functioning in the Black Saturday Wildfires burns patients across time. Generic health status and...

An examination of factors that affect return to work following burns: A systematic review of the literature

Burns > 2010 > 36 > 7 > 1021-1026

To review the literature on return to work (RTW) in patients with burns.Using a predetermined search strategy, we searched Ovid MEDLINE (1950 to January 2008) database to identify all English studies related to burn and work, rehabilitation, employment, return to work, occupation or vocational training.Twenty-one studies were identified with 3134 patients. An average of 66% of patients returned to...

A simple tool for mortality prediction in burns patients: APACHE III score and FTSA

E.C. Moore, D.V. Pilcher, M.J. Bailey, H. Cleland, more

Burns > 2010 > 36 > 7 > 1086-1091

Prediction of outcome for patients with major thermal injury is important to inform clinical decision making, alleviate individual suffering and improve hospital resource allocation. Age and burn size are widely accepted as the two largest contributors of mortality amongst burns patients. The APACHE (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation) III-j score, which incorporates patient age, is also...

Masseteric-facial nerve coaptation – an alternative technique for facial nerve reinnervation

C.J. Coombs, E.W. Ek, T. Wu, H. Cleland, more

Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery > 2009 > 62 > 12 > 1580-1588

Reinnervation of the facial musculature when there is loss of the proximal facial nerve poses a difficult clinical problem. Restoration of spontaneous mimetic motion is the aim and, to this end, the use of cross-facial nerve grafts has long been considered the reconstruction of choice. The nerve to masseter has been used very successfully for reinnervation of microvascular functioning muscle transfers...

Predicting the effectiveness of virtual reality relaxation on pain and anxiety when added to PCA morphine in patients having burns dressings changes

A.H. Konstantatos, M. Angliss, V. Costello, H. Cleland, more

Burns > 2009 > 35 > 4 > 491-499

Pain arising in burns sufferers is often severe and protracted. The prospect of a dressing change can heighten existing pain by impacting both physically and psychologically. In this trial we examined whether pre-procedural virtual reality guided relaxation added to patient controlled analgesia with morphine reduced pain severity during awake dressings changes in burns patients.We conducted a prospective...

Crevice corrosion of 316L caused by chloride partition in water-butanone mixtures

J. H. Cleland

Engineering Failure Analysis > 1997 > 4 > 4 > 287-291

Chloride-induced crevice corrosion of a 316L pump was found to have occurred in what was nominally a very dilute solution of sodium chloride in a single-phase solution of water in butanone at 25°C. The hypothesis formed was that water had entered the system in a sufficient amount to form an immiscible mixture of a water-rich phase and a butanone-rich phase. This separation into two liquids was followed...

Engineering Failure Analysis > 1996 > 3 > 3 > 149-155

The occurrence of premature leaks in vitreous enamel coated steel tanks was investigated. Microscopic examination of the failed coatings showed that they contained large pores and holidays. Following a plant visit, it was suspected that inadequate firing of the enamel coating was the cause of these pores. Laboratory reheating trials confirmed this suspicion.

Corrosion risks in ships' ballast tanks and the IMO pathogen guidelines

J. H. Cleland

Engineering Failure Analysis > 1995 > 2 > 1 > 79-84

The last few years have seen an increasing incidence of serious wastage of ships' ballast tanks, which has been attributed to the action of sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Since SRB have been with us for many years, it is far from clear just why they should have became such a problem. Nevertheless, the cause has been recognised and preventative measures may be taken. Almost concurrently, the...
