logo Cochrane - small (fondo blanco)Las heridas por quemadura causan niveles altos de morbilidad y mortalidad en todo el mundo. Los pacientes con quemaduras son particularmente vulnerables a las infecciones; más del 75% de todas las muertes debido a quemaduras (después de la reanimación inicial) son resultado de la infección. Los antisépticos son agentes tópicos que actúan para prevenir el crecimiento de microorganismos. Se utiliza una amplia variedad con la intención de prevenir la infección y promover la cicatrización de las heridas por quemadura.

portada - EJPS - Vol. 35 (2012)Since the management of keloid and hypertrophic scars still remains a difficult clinical problem, there is need for adequate, effective therapy. In this study, we explored for the first time the efficacy and the potential synergetic effect of combined triamcinolone and verapamil for the treatment of hypertrophic and keloid scars. The objective was to assess the efficacy of combined intralesional triamcinolone and verapamil therapy for hypertrophic and keloid scars.

portada - PRS - Vol. 132; No. 2 (2013)Gluteal augmentation with fat transplantation is increasing in demand but has been associated with a concerning number of fatality reports. Despite these reports, various surgeons have safely performed gluteal fat transplantation on a large number of patients with no reported mortality. The important aspects of safely performing gluteal fat transplantation are reviewed. Proper patient selection, favorable instrumentation, patient positioning, proper technique, and knowledge of anatomy are critical to improving the safety of this procedure. Adherence to these key principles should allow a reduction in mortality from this procedure, which would safely allow its continued offering in the setting of increasingly high demand.
