In his March 3, 2014 New Yorker cover cartoon “Ready for His Closeup”, Barry Blitt depicts Oscar ® , the statuette, as a plastic surgery patient. Labels from head to toe highlight the procedures that Oscar ® has had ranging from his scalp reduction to his pedestal augmentation. The only procedure that Oscar ® needed but did not have was a penile reconstruction.
Silver is a naturally occurring element. Similar to other metals, the ionized form of silver (Ag +1 ) has known antimicrobial properties. A number of wound dressings incorporating silver ion or silver compounds have recently been developed and marketed. In addition, the antimicrobial effects of silver are currently being promoted in consumer products such as clothing and household appliances. The present use of silver in medical and consumer products has prompted concerns for potential toxicity and ecological effects, including induction of microbial resistance to antibiotics. These concerns ignore the fact that silver has been used for medicinal purposes for several thousand years.
Outcomes of patients with burns have improved substantially over the past two decades. Findings from a 2012 study in The Lancet showed that a burn size of more than 60% total body surface area burned (an increase from 40% a decade ago) is associated with risks and mortality. Similar data have been obtained in adults and elderly people who have been severely burned. We discuss recent and future developments in burn care to improve outcomes of children.
