Skin bioprinting: the future of burn wound reconstruction?

Varkey, M. et als.
Burns & Trauma. 2019; 7:4

Burn & Trauma. Vol. 3; 18 (2015)Burns are a significant cause of trauma, and over the years, the focus of patient care has shifted from just survival to facilitation of improved functional outcomes. Typically, burn treatment, especially in the case of extensive burn injuries, involves surgical excision of injured skin and reconstruction of the burn injury with the aid of skin substitutes. Conventional skin substitutes do not contain all skin cell types and do not facilitate recapitulation of native skin physiology. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting for reconstruction of burn injuries involves layer-by-layer deposition of cells along with scaffolding materials over the injured areas. Skin bioprinting can be done either in situ or in vitro.

From traditional biochemical signals to molecular markers for detection of sepsis after burn injuries

Muñoz, B. et als.
Burns, Volume 45, Issue 1, February 2019, Pages 16-31

portada Burns Open - Vol. 2; No. 3 (2018)Sepsis is a life-threatening organ-dysfunction condition caused by a dysregulated response to an infectious condition that can cause complications in patients with major trauma. Burns are one of the most destructive forms of trauma; despite the improvements in medical care, infections remain an important cause of burn injury-related mortality and morbidity, and complicated sepsis predisposes patients to diverse complications such as organ failure, lengthening of hospital stays, and increased costs. Accurate diagnosis and early treatment of sepsis may have a beneficial impact on clinical outcome of burn-injured patients.

Vitamin D in burn-injured patients

Rech M. et als.
Burns, 2019-02-01, Volúmen 45, Número 1, Páginas 32-41

portada - Burns - Vol. 40 (2014)Recently, many studies have demonstrated pleotropic effects of vitamin D, including immune modulation and cardiovascular system activity. Sufficient vitamin D concentrations and supplementation of vitamin D may be of benefit in burn-injured patients. Low 25(OH)D has been observed in nearly all pediatric and most adult burn patients.

Antisépticos para las quemaduras

Norman, G. et als.
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2017 Issue 7. Art. No.: CD011821

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
