Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Acinetobacter baumannii are major nosocomial pathogens in burns units. We investigated the impact of an infection control bundle on the incidence of nosocomial MRSA and A. baumannii in our burns unit, comparing a pre-intervention period (December 2006–August 2008) with an intervention period (September 2008–December 2009). The bundle comprised...
Evaluation of burn depth is an essential and difficult step that conditions surgical or non-surgical treatment. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the opportunity to diagnose burn depth only with initial photography of the burn.For all patients admitted to our burn unit between January 2002 and March 2008, we performed a retrospective analysis of burn depth based on a photographic evaluation...
Background Controlling airborne contamination is of major importance in burn units because of the high susceptibility of burned patients to infections and the unique environmental conditions that can accentuate the infection risk. In particular the required elevated temperatures in the patient room can create thermal convection flows which can transport airborne contaminates throughout the unit. In...
Few studies have referred to the implication of apoptotic processes following hormonal treatment. No data are available on the effects of progesterone in breast cells. In order to gain insights on the effects of the gonadal steroids and antiestrogens in breast cells, we have carried out studies on apoptosis in different breast materials. We have developed a model of normal breast cells in cultures...
