This study was designed to evaluate the burned rat model to determine whether there are any differences in endotoxin-sensitive kidney functions between an infant rat (10-day-old pup) and an adult rat (10-week-old rat). Renal failure was observed in the infant burned rat and histological changes showed the adhesion of inflammatory cells in the glomerular capillaries and vacuolar changes in the renal...
When faced with large numbers of burn patients and limited resources such as in war or disaster, oral fluids may be used as an alternative to intravenous resuscitation. Vomiting during the first 48h can limit the usefulness of this method; yet its incidence has not been documented. This study aimed to identify those patients at risk of vomiting following burn injury and who therefore might be suitable...
This report present an evaluation 13 consecutive cases of severe burn scar contracture of the axilla and investigates the factors that influence functional improvement. The operation was performed at various times during the period from 3 months to 63 years after the initial burn wound healed. The active range of shoulder abduction before the operation in these patients was restricted to 30-90 ...
This report suggests an alternative statistical model for estimating the mortality rate of samples of patients with burns. Three direct standardization methods were applied to nine samples (48,379 patients) selected randomly from the medical literature, and compared with the technique of three regression models, The results showed the similar mortality rates in these samples using the three different...
The shower technique for hydrotherapy was used in the treatment of the burn patients in our burn center. Before showering, the shower trolley (stretcher) was draped with a sterilized disposable plastic sheet to decrease the potential for seeding surface bacteria to open burn wounds. The patients were washed on the draped shower trolley. Samples for culture were taken from the surface of the shower...
In order to investigate the relationship between standardized death rate for area and 50% mortality rate for burn area (LA 50 ), correlation analysis, curve estimation and linear regression were performed with the variables. The results showed that: (1) there was a similarity in sort order of standardized death rate in control groups of samples, compared with the experimental group; (2)...
Objective: In ischemia and burn injuries, there are major alterations threatening tissue survival. Increased energy flow requirements are among the major problems in these disorders. Carnitine is an endogenous cofactor, which has a regulatory action on the energy flow from different oxidative sources. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of carnitine in an experimental flap model...
