Article Abstract

We consider the stability analysis of a two-dimensional model for post-burn contraction. The model is based on morphoelasticity for permanent deformations and combined with a chemical-biological model that incorporates cellular densities, collagen density, and the concentration of chemoattractants. We formulate stability conditions depending on the decay rate of signaling molecules for both the continuous partial differential equations-based problem and the (semi-)discrete representation. We analyze the difference and convergence between the resulting spatial eigenvalues from the continuous and semi-discrete problems.

Background/objectives: Burns can cause severe physiological disturbances. Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) is an alternative to intravenous fluids. However, the World Health Organization-recommended oral rehydration solution (WHO-ORS) lacks specific components to address the critical physiological changes in patients with burns.

Sepsis in burn care: incidence and outcomes.

Background: Although sepsis is known to be the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in adult burn patients, its epidemiology and impact are poorly understood. This study aims to address these gaps by further characterizing predictors of sepsis and comparing outcomes between septic and non-septic burn patients in different age groups.

Methods: We included patients (≥ 18 years) with thermal burn injuries ≥ 5% total body surface area (TBSA) admitted to two burn centers between 1 January 2006 and 30 June 2021, and 1 January 2023 and 6 April 2025.

Contrast therapy promoting skin scald repair.

J Burn Care Res

Contrast therapy (CT), alternating cooling and heating therapy, has been investigated for its potential benefits in treating soft tissue injuries in sports. This study examines the efficacy of CT in enhancing skin scald repair. We established a standardized rat scald burn model, and randomized the subjects to three groups: CT, cold therapy (COT), and untreated model control (MC).

Fluid resuscitation after thermal injury is paramount to avoid burn shock and restore organ perfusion. Both over- and under-resuscitation can lead to unintended consequences affecting patient outcomes. While many studies have examined systemic effects, limited data exist on how fluid resuscitation impacts burn wound progression in the acute period.

Stigma is prejudice and discrimination resulting from negative stereotypes. Burn survivors have greater risk for stigmatization, potentially influencing quality of life. This study aims to characterize stigma and its predictors in the burn population.
