Screening of HLA sensitization during acute burn care
Major trauma to the face and extremities secondary to extensive burns frequently leaves massive soft and bony tissue defects that are not amenable to conventional reconstruction. Vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) has meanwhile become a viable therapeutic option for reconstruction of those defects aiming at highest functional and aesthetic outcomes [1,2]. Of the known 142 VCA cases to date, at least 30 were performed for burn reconstruction [1]. Since the inception of clinical VCA over a decade ago, burn victims have been identified as immunologically complex patients for these procedures owing to preformed h...

Positive cumulative fluid balance at 72h is associated with adverse outcomes following acute pediatric thermal injury
Fluid resuscitation remains the cornerstone of treatment following thermal injury. However, fluid resuscitation often exceeds consensus formula estimates and has been associated with adverse outcomes. The term “fluid creep” has been used to describe the phenomenon of fluid resuscitation well beyond that which was predicted in the first 24h following thermal injury [1]. Multifactorial in nature, fluid creep has been attributed to a reluctance to use colloid, hesitation to reduce intravenous fluid rates in the face of adequate urine output, pursuit of goal directed therapies, use of continuous opiate infusions, and the i...

Poverty, population density, and the epidemiology of burns in young children from Mexico treated at a U.S. pediatric burn facility
Childhood burns can cause severe physical and psychological complications [1]. Burn injuries continue to pose a serious threat to young children in both developing and developed countries [2,3]. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that five percent of unintentional injury deaths of children between the ages of 0 –19 were attributed to burns. The CDC reported that children in the 1–4 years old age group had higher rates of death due to flame injuries than other age groups [4].

Feelings of guilt and embitterment in parents of children with burns and its associations with depression
The aim was to examine guilt and embitterment in mothers and fathers of children with burns and its associations with depression and burn severity. (Source: Burns : Journal of the International Society for Burn Injuries)

Response to Letter to the Editor: ‘Experience with NexoBrid® in enzymatic debridement of facial burns’
The authors appreciate the very important and valuable comments of Dr. Jose Manuel Sampietro de Luis regarding the manuscript entitled “Enzymatic debridement of deeply burned faces: healing and early scarring based on tissue preservation compared to traditional surgical debridement” [1]. We would like to respond to “Experiencia con NexoBrid para el desbridamiento enzimatico de quemaduras facials seguido de tratamiento conserv ador con MediHoney [2].

Comments on “Diabetes mellitus after injury in burn and non-burned patients: A population based retrospective cohort study”
We read the article by Duke and colleagues with great interest [1]. The study was conducted to compare hospitalisations for diabetes mellitus (DM) after injury experienced by burn patients, non-burn trauma patients and people with no record of injury admission, adjusting for socio-demographic, health and injury factors. It was concluded that burn and non-burn trauma patients experienced elevated rates of DM admissions after injury compared to the non-injured cohort. It is obvious that an interesting study has been conducted but some methodological issues need to be considered. (Source: Burns : Journal of the International ...

A quality improvement project incorporating preoperative warming to prevent perioperative hypothermia in major burns
Burn remains a prominent global health burden, with over 11 million burn injuries requiring medical attention annually, and is a leading cause of traumatic mortality and morbidity [1]. For full thickness and deep partial thickness burns, the widely-accepted practice, after initial critical care assessment and fluid resuscitation, is early excision and autografting [2 –11]. While outcomes are undoubtedly improved because of this approach, early aggressive debridement exposes susceptible patients to the sequelae of hypothermia in the perioperative period [12–14].

Experience with NexoBrid ® in enzymatic debridement of facial burns
A few weeks ago I felt interested in an article published in this journal in which A. Schulz et al. analyzed the application of NexoBrid ® to facial burns [1]. This special interest was motivated by the fact that in my institution we have extensive experience with the management of NexoBrid® and given the excellent results we were obtaining in the rest of the territories, with all precautions we began to apply it also in the facial territory. After the first favorable case in which there were no complications, we implemented a NexoBrid® application protocol for facial burns since 2015. (Source: Burns : Journal of the In...

Families with newborns: Using a cartographic model to identify those who are at risk for fires
We assessed whether a home fire safety intervention targeting families with newborn children in Jefferson County, Kentucky, reached those at severe risk using a cartographic model. Demographic and economic factors of 61 families were compared by census tract. Using geographic information systems (GIS), families were assigned a risk level (low, medium, high, or severe) based on the risk model. Families who participated differed from census tracts in that of being minority race (p=0.01). The median risk category of the families was medium risk.

Thermal injuries from exploding electronic cigarettes
Electronic cigarettes (ECs), or “e-cigarettes,” are devices capable of vaporizing nicotine-containing solutions that when exhaled resembles tobacco smoke. The devices are referred to by many different names, including “personal vaporizers,” “e-cig,” “vapes,” “vape pens,” “e-hookahs” and “tank systems.” Most designs consist of a liquid containing cartridge, a heating element, a flow sensor, and a lithium-ion battery to vaporize the solution without a combustion element. As of 2014 an estimated 90% of the worlds’ ECs are produced in mainland China where they were first invented and released in 2...
