Critical care polyneuropathy in burn injuries: an integrative review

Mc Kittrick, A. et als.
Burns. 2017; Artículo en prensa: Prueba corregida.

portada - Burns - Vol. 40; No 6 (2014)Polyneuropathy is a debilitating condition which may be associated with large burns. The aim of this integrative review is to identify factors that contribute to the development of critical care polyneuropathy in patients admitted to an intensive care unit with a severe burn injury. PubMed, Scopus, CINHAL and EMBASE were searched up until July 2016. Studies/case reports focusing on critical care polyneuropathy for burn injured patients were included.

Early pathogenic colonisers of acute burn wounds: a retrospective review

Park, H. S. et als.
Burns. 2017; Artículo en prensa: Prueba corregida.

portada - Burns - Vol. 40 (2014)Early excision of burns reduces the incidence of local and systemic infections caused by colonising microorganisms, and reduces mortality and length of hospital stay. Appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis can reduce the risk of postoperative wound infections and skin graft loss. Antibiotic selection should be based on likely pathogens. However, there are few studies that have investigated the early pathogenic colonisers of acute burn wounds.

The Birmingham Burn Centre archive: a photographic history of post-war burn care in the United Kingdom

Hardwicke, J; Kohlhardt, A; Moiemen, N.
Burns, 2015-06-01, Volúmen 41, Número 4, Páginas 680-688

portada - Burns - Vol. 40 (2014)The Medical Research Council Burns and Industrial Injuries Unit at the Birmingham Accident Hospital pioneered civilian burn care and research in the United Kingdom during the post-war years. A photographic archive has been discovered that documents this period from 1945 to 1975. The aim of this project was to sort, digitize and archive the images in a secure format for future reference.

Evolution of skin grafting for treatment of burns: Reverdin pinch grafting to Tanner mesh grafting and beyond

Singh, M; Nuutila, K; Collins, K. C; Huang, A.
Burns, 2017-09-01, Volúmen 43, Número 6, Páginas 1149-1154

portada - Burns - Vol. 40 (2014)Skin grafting is the current standard care in the treatment of full thickness burns. It was first described around 1500 BC but the vast majority of advancements have been achieved over the past 200 years.
An extensive literature review was conducted on Pubmed, Medline and Google Scholar researching the evolution of skin grafting techniques. The authors concentrated on the major landmarks of skin grafting and also provide an overview of ongoing research efforts in this field.

The antimicrobial spectrum of Xeroform ®

Barillo D. J. et als.
Burns, 2017-09-01, Volúmen 43, Número 6, Páginas 1189-1194

portada - Burns - Vol. 40 (2014)Xeroform ® is a petrolatum-based fine mesh gauze containing 3% bismuth tribromophenate. Bismuth, similar to other metals, has antimicrobial properties. Xeroform ® has been used for decades in burn and plastic surgery as a donor site dressing and as a covering for wounds or partial thickness burns. Despite this, the antimicrobial spectrum of Xeroform ® remains largely unknown. We examined the in-vitro efficacy of Xeroform ® against common burn pathogens using zone-of-inhibition methodology in a commercial research facility.
