German Plastic & Reconstructive Aesthetic Surgery - Vol. 4After a burn injury certain superficial partial-thickness burn wounds spontaneously progress into deep partial-thickness or full-thickness burn wounds. This poorly understood phenomenon is called burn wound progression. The aim of this study was to investigate whether treatment strategies using warm water (preservation of microcirculation) on the one side and erythropoietin (EPO) (molecule with anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, vasodilatory and neoangiogenic properties) can prevent, delay and/or reduce secondary burn wound progression in a rat model.

NMJE - Vol. 369Fluid resuscitation with colloid and crystalloid solutions is a ubiquitous intervention in acute medicine. The selection and use of resuscitation fluids is based on physiological principles, but clinical practice is determined largely by clinician preference, with marked regional variation. No ideal resuscitation fluid exists. There is emerging evidence that the type and dose of resuscitation fluid may affect patient-centered outcomes.

Cirugía Plástica Iberolatinoamericana - Vol. 40El objetivo del presente estudio es determinar la eficacia clínica de la fibrina autóloga en heridas traumáticas con exposición de tejido noble, en el pie diabético y en úlceras por insuficiencia venosa crónica. El concepto es regenerar el tejido afectado e inducir de manera asistida la formación de tejido de granulación suficientemente compacto para incorporar autoinjertos de piel o facilitar el cierre por segunda intención cuando no puede realizarse injerto.

Cirugía Plástica Iberolatinoamericana - Vol. 40El auge de la Cirugía Estética ha motivado que cobre mayor interés el estudiar las motivaciones de los pacientes para acudir a este tipo de consultas. En el denominado Trastorno Dismórfico Corporal (TDC), los pacientes sufren por la percepción de un defecto físico imaginario. Se ha generado controversia entre los especialistas, sobre el eventual perjuicio que tendría operar a este tipo de pacientes considerando las posibles implicaciones médico-legales.
Nos planteamos como objetivo el realizar una revisión sistemática de la literatura para caracterizar epidemiológicamente el TDC en el contexto de la consulta de Cirugía Estética, considerando su prevalencia, comorbilidades y las consecuencias de los procedimientos quirúrgicos en la salud mental de este tipo de pacientes.

Clinical, Cosmetic & Investigational Dermatology - Vol. 7A plethora of soft tissue fillers have been developed within the past decade to correct the cutaneous changes that occur with photoaging. Such fillers, whether nonpermanent, semipermanent, or permanent, are widely used to fill undesired facial rhytides. In addition, fillers are employed to correct atrophy of the face as well as other parts of the body such as the dorsum of the hands through volumization and contouring.This review article focuses on the permanent filler, Aquamid, which is composed of polyacrylamide hydrogel.

Annals Burns Fire Disasters - Vol. 27Made by bees from the nectar of flowers, used since ancient times to treat wounds and burns, honey has lately acquired a growing interest from the international scientific community and has been the subject of many specialized studies and communications. This article highlights the up-to-date knowledge on qualities, properties and mode of appliance of honey in the treatment of wounds of various etiologies, particularly burns, through an extensive retrospective analysis of data from the literature.

WJSC - Vol. 4Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that are obtained from abundant adipose tissue, adherent on plastic culture flasks, can be expanded in vitro, and have the capacity to differentiate into multiple cell lineages. Unlike bone marrow-derived MSCs, ASCs can be obtained from abundant adipose tissue by a minimally invasive procedure, which results in a high number of cells. Therefore, ASCs are promising for regenerating tissues and organs damaged by injury and diseases. This article reviews the implications of ASCs in tissue regeneration.

Stem cellAnnals Burns Fire Disasters - Vol. 27s have shown promise with regard to the healing process of burn wounds. However, donor sites for these cells are still under investigation. The aim of this study is to review the efficacy of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in accelerating wound healing of third degree burns in a mouse model.
